Abstract
The availability of sensitive and effective materials for the detection and separation of mixed gases is essential for the development of molecular gas-sensitive elements. In this study, the structural stability of five colorless and odorless gase molecules (H2, O2, N2, NO, and CO) adsorbed on O+Pd13, an oxygen-loaded cluster, was investigated through determinations of their electronic structure and kinetic stability. The results demonstrate that the changes which occur in the large surface-to-body ratio and porous microstructure of the O+Pd13 cluster upon adsorption of the small gas molecules make it a suitable candidate for use as a nano-gas-sensitive material.
期刊介绍:
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
