Decomposition of SO(2) on Ni(111) Surface and the Effect of Metal Doping: A First-Principles Study
Sulfides poisoning of metallic Ni is an important issue in catalyst deactivation. SO(2), similar to H(2)S and other sulfides, is an impurity presented in reactants or during the regeneration steps.

Sumario: | Sulfides poisoning of metallic Ni is an important issue in catalyst deactivation. SO(2), similar to H(2)S and other sulfides, is an impurity presented in reactants or during the regeneration steps. Herein, spin-polarized density functional theory calculations were used to study the adsorption and decomposition of SO(2) on a pristine and metal-doped Ni(111) surface. The adsorption energy, transition state energy, and partial density of state (PDOS) were calculated. On the pristine Ni(111) surface, ten different configurations were considered, and three typical ones were selected for transition state searching. It was found that the reaction barrier of the first S-O bond dissociation was much higher than that of the second one. Doping the top layer with a second metal could strongly change the adsorption and decomposition behavior. Doping with 3/9ML Co slightly increases the adsorption energy of SO(2) for most configurations and decreases the reaction barriers of the SO(2)-tht-2 decomposition, while the others decrease the adsorption ability and increase the barriers. The order of adsorption energy for the most stable configurations is Co > Ni > Cu > Rh > Pd. The order of the first S-O bond dissociation reaction barriers is Pd > Rh > Cu = Ni > Co, and the order of the second bond dissociation barrier is Rh > Pd > Cu > Ni > Co. |
