The role of a surface oxygen vacancy in the N 2 O dissociation over a Cu 2 O surface was studied using density functional theory — generalized gradient approximation periodic calculations. To perform this study, surface slab model — [Formula: see text] surface cell was used. The results indicated that N 2 O adsorption properties were associated with the surface oxygen vacancies. The presence of a surface oxygen vacancy, prepared by removing one O SUF atom from [Formula: see text] supercell, makes the N 2 O decomposition possible, which was believed to occur at a oxygen vacancy site. The N 2 O decomposition at the surface oxygen vacant site depends on whether the molecule is adsorbed with the O - or N -end on a vacancy. For the first case, the reaction proceeds spontaneously, which leads to an ejection of N 2 from the surface and the rest of the oxygen atoms occupying the vacancy. In the second case, even though there is an elongation of both N – N and N – O bonds, the dissociation is unfeasible due to very small adsorption energy and high activation energy. The role of the defective surface with surface oxygen vacancy is to provide electrons to the adsorbed molecule.

ABSTRACTUnderstanding the role of grain boundaries in controlling heat flow is critical to the success of many envisioned applications of nanocrystalline materials. This study focuses on the effect of grain boundaries on thermal transport behavior in nanocrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings prepared by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition.
