Zirconium doping dramatically facilitates O vacancy formation in ceria nanoparticles not only at the surface but also in four-coordinated inner O positions, which enhances O mobility. In mixed nanoparticles zirconium tends to occupy inner sites.

The effect of Nb doping on the formation and diffusion of O vacancies and interstitial Ti in rutile TiO2 are studied by the use of ab initio density-functional calculations. Our calculation showed that the activation energy for the diffusion of O vacancy with Nb doping is higher than that of pure. That owing to suppressive effect of Nb doping on the formation of O vacancy. Different from the effect of Nb doping on O vacancy, both of the formation energy and migration barrier of interstitial Ti increase with the Nb doping. Our calculated results may be one of the reasons why Nb doping can improve oxidation resistance of γ-TiAl.

ABSTRACTWe present a first principles thermodynamic study of O ad-atom and vacancy formation on the AO- and BO2-terminated (001) surfaces of the PbTiO3 (PTO) and LaMnO3 (LMO) cubic perovskites. Our results show that, owing to the highly energetically unfavorable nature of O vacancy formation on these surfaces, O vacancies appear only at high temperatures and practically irrelevant low pressures on the (T, p) surface phase diagram. In contrast, effortless formation of O ad-atoms on the surfaces is encountered at practically achievable pressures and temperatures. Above room temperature and close to atmospheric pressures, we predict clean PbO and TiO2-terminated (001) PTO surfaces as the stable surface phases while partially or fully O ad-atom covered surfaces are found to be more stable for LMO. These results are consistent with the observation that LMO is far more active towards oxidation catalysis than PTO.
