Throughout its relatively short lifetime, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) surface chemistry has progressed quickly. In the 1960′s, pioneers like Ertl and Somorjai started the field using single crystals and gained significant insight into catalytic processes by relating surface structure to reactivity. The more recent proliferation of scanning probes has significantly increased the power of the single crystal approach by enabling the atomic-scale structure of active sites to be correlated with their reactivity. In this perspective we briefly discuss how the field developed, identify some challenges, and highlight Single-Atom Alloys (SAAs), a new class of heterogeneous catalyst that was developed from a fundamental surface science approach. However, despite recent successes, funding for fundamental surface science has declined. Academic hires in the discipline are also declining in part due to the start-up costs. We make the case that fundamental UHV surface chemistry is still too young a field to be in recession.

超高真空(UHV)表面化学在其相对较短的发展历程中取得了突飞猛进的发展。20 世纪 60 年代,Ertl 和 Somorjai 等先驱利用单晶开创了这一领域,并通过将表面结构与反应性联系起来,深入了解了催化过程。最近,扫描探针的大量出现使活性位点的原子尺度结构与其反应性相关联,从而大大提高了单晶方法的威力。在本视角中,我们简要讨论了该领域的发展过程,指出了一些挑战,并重点介绍了单原子合金 (SAA),这是一种从基础表面科学方法发展而来的新型异相催化剂。然而,尽管最近取得了成功,基础表面科学的经费却在减少。该学科的学术人员招聘也在减少,部分原因是启动成本。我们认为,超高真空基础表面化学仍然是一个太年轻的领域,不应该陷入衰退。

Curved crystals may feature a smooth transition between different vicinal surfaces. Using one curved single crystal to study different vicinal surfaces requires less experimental time than using several single flat crystals. Here, we study step distributions on the (110) plane of a curved NiAl single-crystal surface, which consists of alternating Ni and Al atom rows. We use scanning tunneling microscopy under UHV conditions at room temperature and our home-built Python-based analysis script to obtain statistical information on kink and straight sections along step-edge distributions from STM images. We perform this analysis mainly to study this single crystal’s kink distributions and step termination We propose a new method to estimate the step formation energy based on step edge analysis and statistical mechanics. With this method, we find an approximation of the step formation energy for NiAl(110).

曲面晶体可能具有不同临界表面之间平滑过渡的特点。与使用多个平面单晶体相比,使用一个曲面单晶体来研究不同的临界表面所需的实验时间更短。在此,我们研究了镍铝单晶曲面 (110) 平面上的阶跃分布,该曲面由交替排列的镍和铝原子组成。我们使用室温超高真空条件下的扫描隧道显微镜和自制的基于 Python 的分析脚本,从 STM 图像中获取阶梯边缘分布的扭结和直线部分的统计信息。我们提出了一种基于阶跃边分析和统计力学的估算阶跃形成能量的新方法。利用这种方法,我们找到了 NiAl(110) 的阶跃形成能近似值。

We report on the chemical composition, bonding, and in-vacuum thermal stability (up to 1000 °C) of nitrogen plasma terminated H-Diamond(111) (H-Di(111)) surfaces followed by ambient exposure. The nitrogen-plasma exposures include radio frequency (RF) (at pressure: 3 × 10−2 (damaging) and 7 × 10−2 Torr (non-damaging)) and microwave (MW) nitrogen plasmas and studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). The largest nitrogen intake was observed upon exposure to RF(N2) damaging plasma, followed by MW(N2) and non-damaging RF(N2) plasmas. A similar trend follows the adsorption of adventitious oxygen. The XPS analysis shows that most of the adventitious oxygen is adsorbed in a COx configuration upon nitride surfaces exposure to ambient conditions. However, upon high temperature annealing of the damaging RF(N2) plasma exposed surface, some NOx (species) were detected by XPS. From the HREELS analysis, the hydrogen adsorbed on the H-Di(111) is not fully removed by exposure to the different nitrogen plasmas. These measurements show that NH(ads) species are formed on the surface and are desorbed upon vacuum annealing in the 500–700 °C range. This study may be of importance in all ex-situ applications influenced by the near-surface physicochemical and electronic properties of nitrogen-terminated H-Di(111) surfaces.

我们报告了氮等离子体终止 H-Diamond(111)(H-Di(111))表面的化学成分、键合和真空热稳定性(高达 1000 °C),然后进行环境暴露。氮等离子体暴露包括射频(RF)(压力:3 × 10-2(破坏性)和 7 × 10-2 托(非破坏性))和微波(MW)氮等离子体,并通过 X 射线光电子能谱(XPS)和高分辨率电子能量损失能谱(HREELS)进行研究。在暴露于射频(N2)破坏性等离子体时观察到最大的氮摄入量,其次是微波(N2)和非破坏性射频(N2)等离子体。在吸附不定氧时也有类似的趋势。XPS 分析表明,氮化物表面暴露在环境条件下时,大部分不定氧以 COx 构型被吸附。然而,在破坏性射频(N2)等离子体暴露表面进行高温退火后,XPS 检测到了一些氮氧化物(物种)。从 HREELS 分析来看,H-Di(111) 上吸附的氢并没有因为暴露在不同的氮等离子体中而完全去除。这些测量结果表明,NH(吸附)物种在表面形成,并在 500-700 °C 真空退火后解吸。这项研究可能对所有受氮封端 H-Di(111)表面近表面物理化学和电子特性影响的原位应用具有重要意义。

A brief review is presented of the development and application of quantitative structural studies of surfaces in the last 60 years. The development of the earliest method, and the one that remains the benchmark technique, namely quantitative low energy electron diffraction (QLEED) is described, and its underlying methodology compared with alternative techniques that have emerged subsequently. In particular, the role of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT), a combination of methods that has typified many more recent surface structural studies, is compared and contrasted with ‘traditional’ quantitative experimental methods such as QLEED.

Two-dimensional antimonene with a honeycomb structure has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its novel properties and tunable electronic structure as varying applied in-plane strain. Yet, applying epitaxially strained antimonene is greatly limited by the strong coupling with the metal substrates. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of the van der Waals stretched antimonene on graphene/Cu(111) substrate via remote epitaxy. It is found that, as corroborated by atomic force microscopy and reflection high-energy electron diffraction, the lattice of the antimonene can be remotely stretched by the underlying Cu(111). The graphene layer prevents antimonene from forming the surface alloy with Cu(111), which is also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy results. Our study not only provides a way to regulate the lattice of the epitaxial layers remotely but also provides a new idea for developing new potential topological materials.

蜂窝状结构的二维锑近年来备受关注,因为它具有新颖的特性和可随施加的面内应变变化而调整的电子结构。然而,外延应变锑烯的应用受到与金属基底强耦合的极大限制。在这里,我们展示了通过远程外延在石墨烯/铜(111)基底上合成范德华拉伸锑。原子力显微镜和反射高能电子衍射证实,锑的晶格可以被底层的 Cu(111) 远距离拉伸。石墨烯层阻止了锑与 Cu(111) 形成表面合金,拉曼光谱结果也证实了这一点。我们的研究不仅提供了一种远程调节外延层晶格的方法,还为开发新的潜在拓扑材料提供了新思路。

The existing energy crisis and environmental pollution require an innovative approach to hydrogen production. Photocatalytic water-splitting has emerged as a potential solution, but the development of efficient photocatalysts remains the key challenge. Here, we employ first-principles calculations to investigate the structural, electronic, optical and photocatalytic characteristics of a van der Waals heterojunction comprising GaTe and AsP monolayers. The constructed GaTe/AsP heterojunction is thermodynamic, dynamical and thermal stable. The smaller indirect bandgap 1.68 eV than 2.21 eV and 2.45 eV for the constituent GaTe and AsP monolayers respectively, enhances the optical absorption of the GaTe/AsP heterojunction in visible and ultraviolet (UV) regions. The type-II band alignment of the GaTe/AsP heterojunction makes an efficient separation of photogenerated electrons and holes to different layers and extension their lifespans. The built-in electric field from GaTe side to AsP side induces a direct Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst with high redox reaction kinetic and high solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 14.10 %. Our study demonstrates that the GaTe/AsP heterostructure is as efficient photocatalysts for overall water-splitting.

当前的能源危机和环境污染需要一种创新的制氢方法。光催化水分离已成为一种潜在的解决方案,但开发高效的光催化剂仍是关键挑战。在此,我们利用第一原理计算研究了由 GaTe 和 AsP 单层组成的范德华异质结的结构、电子、光学和光催化特性。所构建的 GaTe/AsP 异质结具有热力学、动力学和热稳定性。GaTe 和 AsP 单层的间接带隙 1.68 eV 分别小于 2.21 eV 和 2.45 eV,这增强了 GaTe/AsP 异质结在可见光和紫外线(UV)区域的光吸收。GaTe/AsP 异质结的 II 型能带排列使光生成的电子和空穴有效地分离到不同的层,并延长了它们的寿命。从 GaTe 侧到 AsP 侧的内置电场诱导出一种直接 Z 型异质结光催化剂,它具有很高的氧化还原反应动力学和高达 14.10 % 的太阳能转化为氢气的效率。我们的研究表明,GaTe/AsP 异质结构是一种高效的整体水分离光催化剂。

在处于热力学平衡状态的固体或液体表面上,沙特尔沃斯张力是两个不同性质的压力(或张力)之和 Υ=γ+σxx¯ (我们只考虑对角线分量'xx')。这两个压力平行于表面,实际上位于表面单层。表面积为 A=NSAUL,NS 是表面单层中的实体数量,AUL 是面积单位,即一个实体的拉格朗日表面积。总能量包括表面能量项 γA。在 AUL 保持不变的情况下,它相对于 NS 的导数就是张力 γP。它在数值上等于能量 γ,其变化具有化学性质,是不连续的。表面单层的一个实体(γAUL=Δμ)具有相对于主体的化学势过剩。在保持 NS 不变的情况下,相对于 AUL 的另一个导数给出了 "弹性 "压力 σxx¯。它就是 ∂γ/∂ϵxx。对于固体,σxx¯ 随温度迅速降低,而 γ 变化很小。对于液体,当忽略 σxx¯ 时,文献表明 Υ 会减小到表面张力 γP。然而,我们对 Pt(111) 表面的模拟显示,σxx¯ 和 γ 在液态时的数量级相同。因此,当表面弯曲时,拉普拉斯力与两个压力之和成正比。对于被视为平面的表面,表面张力是整个系统内部的偶极力。在临界面上,表面张力会使台阶上的原子收缩,但原子的收缩程度较小,因为阶跃能在两种平衡构型之间没有变化,而这两种平衡构型的不同仅在于是否存在表面张力。阶跃相互作用应力是排斥性的,其变化量为 1/L,L 为阶跃距离。无论阶跃能如何,阶跃应力也会导致阶跃间的平衡排斥。

The photocatalytic efficiency of traditional photocatalysts is usually frustrated by the easy recombination of photogenerated carriers and the lack of good compatibility between strong redox capacity and light response range. Two-dimensional (2D) Z-scheme heterostructures photocatalysts can solve these problems well. Based on first principles, the photocatalytic properties of 2D MoSeO/Boron phosphide (BP) heterostructures are systematically investigated. The results show that O-Mo-Se/BP heterostructure (with Se atoms close to BP layer) is a traditional type-II heterostructure, which lacks the redox capacity for photocatalytic water decomposition. However, Se–Mo–O/BP heterostructure (with O atoms close to BP layer) is a Z-scheme heterostructure, the built-in electric field can effectively separate the photogenerated carriers with higher redox ability. Meanwhile, the band edge positions with higher redox capacity straddle the water redox potentials for water splitting. Optical absorption shows that the heterostructure has a good light absorption capacity in UV–visible region. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) for this heterostructure is 15.9 %, which can be further improved to 18.7 % under external electric field. These results indicate that Se–Mo–O/BP heterostructure is a compelling direct Z-scheme candidate for photocatalytic water splitting.

传统光催化剂的光催化效率通常受到光生载流子易重组以及强氧化还原能力与光响应范围之间缺乏良好兼容性的影响。二维(2D)Z 型异质结构光催化剂可以很好地解决这些问题。基于第一性原理,系统研究了二维 MoSeO/磷化硼(BP)异质结构的光催化性能。结果表明,O-Mo-Se/BP 异质结构(Se 原子靠近 BP 层)是传统的 II 型异质结构,缺乏光催化水分解的氧化还原能力。然而,Se-Mo-O/BP 异质结构(O 原子靠近 BP 层)是一种 Z 型异质结构,其内置电场能有效分离光生载流子,具有更高的氧化还原能力。同时,氧化还原能力较高的带边位置跨越了水的氧化还原电位,从而实现了水的分裂。光学吸收表明,异质结构在紫外可见光区具有良好的光吸收能力。这种异质结构的功率转换效率(PCE)为 15.9%,在外部电场的作用下可进一步提高到 18.7%。这些结果表明,Se-Mo-O/BP 异质结构是一种引人注目的光催化水分离直接 Z 型候选结构。

Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS), a pivotal tool in the study of the surface chemistry of metals, has recently also gained substantial impact for oxide surfaces, despite the inherent challenges originating from their dielectric properties. This review focuses on the application of IRRAS to ceria (CeO2), a metal oxide for which a significant amount of experimental data exists. We elaborate on the differences in optical properties between metals and metal oxides, which result in lower intensity of adsorbate vibrational bands by approximately two orders of magnitude and polarization-dependent shifts of vibrational frequencies. We examine how the surface selection rule, governing IR spectroscopy of adsorbates on metals, contrasts sharply with the behavior of dielectrics where both positive and negative vibrational bands can occur, and how IRRAS can capture vibrations with transition dipole moments oriented parallel to the surface—a capability not feasible on metallic surfaces. Finally, this paper explores the broader implications of these findings for enhancing our understanding of molecule interactions on oxide surfaces, and for using IR spectroscopy for operando studies under technologically relevant conditions.

红外反射-吸收光谱(IRRAS)是研究金属表面化学的重要工具,最近在氧化物表面的研究中也获得了很大的影响,尽管其介电性能带来了固有的挑战。本综述重点介绍 IRRAS 在铈(CeO2)上的应用,铈是一种金属氧化物,已有大量相关实验数据。我们详细阐述了金属和金属氧化物在光学性质上的差异,这种差异导致吸附振动带的强度降低了约两个数量级,振动频率的偏振偏移也随之改变。我们研究了支配金属上吸附剂红外光谱的表面选择规则如何与电介质的行为形成鲜明对比,电介质的正负振带都可能出现,以及 IRRAS 如何捕捉过渡偶极矩平行于表面的振动--这种能力在金属表面上是不可行的。最后,本文探讨了这些发现的广泛意义,以加深我们对氧化物表面分子相互作用的理解,并在技术相关条件下利用红外光谱进行操作研究。

The dual-atom dimer with half-filled 3d orbital demonstrates a great advantage in electrochemical degradation from nitrate to ammonia, because their binding interaction and electron transfer between reactants and active sites are spin-dependent. Herein, we suggest a local structure distortion caused by a bimetallic hybridization to regulate the spin configuration from low to high by implanting one Fe atom into the Mn/Mn dimer on holey nitrogen-doped graphene, which makes the Mn magnetic moment increase to 3.31 μB from 0.48 μB. Meanwhile, the activation energy of the formed *NOH at rate-limiting step can be decreased to 0.79 eV, which is obviously lower than the pristine Fe/Fe (1.38 eV) and Mn/Mn (1.12 eV) dimers. These findings enlighten an intriguing strategy to enhance the reactive activity of dual-atom catalysts by regulating their spin configuration.

具有半填充 3d 轨道的双原子二聚体在从硝酸盐到氨的电化学降解过程中表现出极大的优势,因为它们之间的结合相互作用以及反应物和活性位点之间的电子转移都与自旋有关。在这里,我们提出了一种由双金属杂化引起的局部结构畸变,通过在掺氮孔石墨烯上的锰/锰二聚体中植入一个铁原子来调节自旋构型从低到高,从而使锰的磁矩从 0.48 μB 增加到 3.31 μB。同时,在限速步骤中形成的 *NOH 的活化能可降至 0.79 eV,明显低于原始的铁/铁(1.38 eV)和锰/锰(1.12 eV)二聚体。这些发现为通过调节双原子催化剂的自旋构型来提高其反应活性提供了一种有趣的策略。
