Comparative study about the adsorption and dissociation behaviors of H2O molecule on clean and vacancy defective Al (111) surface was conducted by extensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the interaction mechanisms between H2O molecule and Al (111) surface were also figured out. Geometry optimization results indicated that H2O molecule was apt to be adsorbed at top site on these two kinds of surfaces, whereas, the adsorption configurations, the adsorption type and inclination of H2O molecule planes away from the normal were different. The calculated adsorption energies demonstrated that the adsorption of H2O molecule occurred more readily on vacancy defective Al (111) surface. The electron density distribution indicated that the vacancy defect enhanced the interactions between H2O molecule and surface Al atoms. Further analysis of the density of states (DOS) showed that the vacancy defect increased the number of bonding electrons between H2O molecule and surface Al atoms. The detailed exploration of dissociation pathways demonstrated that the dissociation of H2O molecule on these two kinds of surfaces was a two-step process: (1) H2O → H + OH , (2) OH → H + O . However, for each step the dissociation pathway variations on vacancy defective Al (111) surface were different with those on clean Al (111) surface. Compared with the first step, the dissociation of hydroxyl group into O atom and H atom was kinetically difficult. The calculated lower activation energy barriers on vacancy defective Al (111) surface showed that the vacancy defect had catalytic effect for the dissociation of H2O molecule to some extent, especially for the first step.

To understand the chemical origin of platinum promotion effects on iron based Fischer–Tropsch synthesis catalysts, the effects of Pt on CO adsorption and dissociation as well as surface carbon hydrogenation on the Fe5C2(100) facet with different surface C* contents have been studied using the spin-polarized density functional theory method.

The density functional theory (DFT) and DFT plus correction for on-site Coulomb interaction (DFT+U) method were performed to investigate the adsorption and dissociation of H2 on PuH2 (100), (110) and (111) surfaces.
