B或N掺杂端部封闭碳纳米管吸附Pt的第一性原理计算

Adsorption of Pt atom on capped carbon nanotubes doped with B or N: The first principles study

  • 摘要: 由于碳纳米管(CNTs)载Pt催化剂中,CNTs与Pt纳米颗粒间的交互作用弱,导致两者间导电性较差,并且容易引起Pt脱落或团聚。本文采用第一性原理对Pt原子在CNTs封闭端部的吸附行为进行了研究,发现B掺杂可以使(5,5)型和(9,0)型CNTs与Pt间的平均吸附能分别提高12.7%和19.6%,N掺杂可以使(5,5)型和(9,0)型CNTs与Pt间的平均吸附能分别提高22.4%和18.4%,并且CNTs与Pt间的电荷转移量较管壁吸附也得到了明显提升,同时B或N掺杂使CNTs-Pt体系的稳定性最高可分别提升133.8%和237.3%,说明在CNTs端部掺杂B或N可提高CNTs载Pt催化剂的性能。

     

    Abstract: Because of the poor interaction between carbon nanotubes(CNTs) and Pt nanoparticles in CNTs-supported Pt catalyst, the electrical conductivity between them is poor and the Pt nanoparticles may fall off or agglomerate. In this paper, the adsorption of Pt atom at different sites of the CNTs cap was investigated using the first principles theory. It is found that the average adsorption energy between (5,5) CNTs-Pt and (9,0) CNTs-Pt at different sites can be increased respectively by 12.7% and 19.6% by doping B, and 22.4% and 18.4% by doping N. The charge transfer between CNTs and Pt can also be significantly elevated compared with Pt adsorption at the tube side. In addition, the stability of the CNTs-Pt system can be increased by up to 133.8% (B-doping) and 237.3% (N-doping). The research indicates that doping B or N at the CNTs end can both improve the efficiency of CNTs-supported Pt catalyst.
