First principles studies combined with the microkinetic analysis were performed to study the reliability and reaction mechanisms of single-atom doped graphene (SADGr) materials in catalyzing NOx reduction with CO. By screening the 3d transition metals (Sc-Zn) and group-IV elements (Si and Ge), it was found that the Ti and Co doped graphene sheets (TiGr and CoGr) respectively own excellent catalytic activities in the NO/NO2-to-N2O and the N2O-to-N2 processes at low temperatures. Therefore, the TiGr/CoGr composite can be a promising catalyst in NOx reduction with CO. It was further revealed the combination of adsorption energy and electronegativity was a good descriptor to predict the activation energies. The obtained results can provide useful information for rational design of carbon-based single-atom catalysts for NOx reduction by CO at low temperatures.

We evaluated isolated transition metal atoms (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, and Ni) embedded in hexagonal-BN as novel single atom catalysts for CO oxidation. We predicted that embedded Ni atoms should have superior performance for this task. Ti, V, and Mn bind CO2 too strongly and so the reaction will not proceed smoothly. We studied the detailed reaction processes for Sc, Cr, and Ni. The Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH), Eley–Rideal (ER), and the new termolecular Eley–Rideal (TER) processes for CO oxidation were investigated. Sc was not effective. Cr primarily used the ER process, although the barrier was relatively large at 1.30 eV. Ni was the best of the group, with a 0.44 eV barrier for LH, and a 0.47 eV barrier for TER. Therefore, we predicted that the LH and TER processes could operate at relatively low temperatures between 300 and 500 K.


An attempt is made to examine theoretically the properties of paramagnetic alums at low temperatures. The model taken is a lattice of freely suspended magnets, all interactions except purely magnetic being neglected. Even with this simplification it is impossible at present to make rigorous calculations of the partition function, either on classical or quantum lines. A simple model is proposed, which is really a generalization of the Bragg - Williams theory enabling one to take account of the effect of a magnetic field. The few configurations whose energies are known are used to fix arbitrary constants in the expression assumed for the energy. The theory predicts that the state of lowest energy is either a spontaneously magnetized, state for a long thin specimen, or a state in which alternate rows of magnets point in opposite directions for a sphere, spontaneous magnetization appearing in an ellipsoid with an eccentricity greater than a certain critical value. The transition curve bounding the region in which the antiparallel state is stable consists partly of a line of Curie points corresponding to transitions of the second, order, passing smoothly into a line of critical points corresponding to a transition of the first order. The effect of shape on the magnetic properties of the specimen seems to be experimentally verified, but the rough nature of the theory prevents it being more than qualitative.
