Insights into the function of silver as an oxidation catalyst by ab initio, atomistic thermodynamics
Wei-Xue Li, Catherine Stampfl, Matthias Scheffler
To help understand the high activity of silver as an oxidation catalyst, e.g., for the oxidation of ethylene to epoxide and the dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde, the int…
Why is a noble metal catalytically active? The role of the O-Ag interaction in the function of silver as an oxidation catalyst
Wei-Xue Li, Catherine Stampfl, Matthias Scheffler
Extensive density-functional theory calculations, and taking into account temperature and pressure, affords a comprehensive picture of the behavior and interaction of oxygen and Ag…
Sub-surface Oxygen and Surface Oxide Formation at Ag(111): A Density-functional Theory Investigation
Wei-Xue Li, Catherine Stampfl, Matthias Scheffler
To help provide insight into the remarkable catalytic behavior of the oxygen/silver system for heterogeneous oxidation reactions, purely sub-surface oxygen, and structures involvin…
