摘要: 从所周知,Pd-Rh纳米颗粒在反应环境中容易发生表面再构.本文借助密度泛函(DFT)计算和一种新的拓扑方法,对组成分别为1:3、1:1和3:1的(多达201个原子,约1.7 nm)的Pd-Rh粒子中的原子排序和表面偏析效应进行了定量研究.所得数据用于可靠优化用DFT无法研究的、含有数千个原子且尺寸超过5nm的Pd-Rh粒子能量优先原子排序,这是典型的催化金属粒子.概述了在现有的模拟装置中,如何通过简单的方法评估偏析效应对吸附质诱导的Pd-Rh纳米合金催化剂表面排列的影响.

Abstract: Pd-Rh nanoparticles are known to easily undergo surface restructuring in reactive environment. This study quantifies, with the help of density functional (DFT) calculations and a novel topological approach, atomic ordering and surface segregation effects in Pd-Rh particles with compositions 1:3, 1:1 and 3:1 containing up to 201 atoms (ca. 1.7 nm). The obtained data are used to reliably optimise energetically preferred atomic orderings in inaccessible by DFT Pd-Rh particles containing thousands of atoms and exhibiting sizes exceeding 5 nm, which are typical for catalytic metal particles. It is outlined, how segregation effects on the surface arrangement of Pd-Rh nanoalloy catalysts induced by adsorbates can be evaluated in a simple way within the present modelling setup.
