Structure of the (Bi)carbonate Adlayer on Cu(100) Electrodes.

ABSTRACT: (Bi)carbonate adsorption on Cu(100) in 0.1 M KHCO₃ has been studied by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy. Coexistence of different ordered adlayer phases with ( 2${\sqrt{2}}$ ×6 2${\sqrt{2}}$ )R45° and (4×4) unit cells was observed in the double layer potential regime. The adlayer is rather dynamic and undergoes a reversible order-disorder phase transition at 0 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode. Density functional calculations indicate that the adlayer consists of coadsorbed carbonate and water molecules and is strongly stabilized by liquid water in the adjacent electrolyte.

Tuning adlayer-substrate interactions of graphene/h-BN heterostructures on Cu(111)-Ni and Ni(111)-Cu surface alloys.

Project description:The evolution of the interface and interaction of h-BN and graphene/h-BN (Gr/h-BN) on Cu(111)-Ni and Ni(111)-Cu surface alloys versus the Ni/Cu atomic percentage on the alloy surface were comparatively studied by the DFT-D2 method, including the critical long-range van der Waals forces. Our results showed that the interaction strength and interface distance of Gr/h-BN/metal can be distinctly tuned by regulating the chemical composition of the surface alloy at the interface. The initially weak interaction of h-BN/Cu(111)-Ni increased linearly with increasing Ni atomic percentage, and the interface distances decreased from ∼3.10 to ∼2.10 Å. For the h-BN/Ni(111)-Cu interface, the strong interaction of the NtopBfcc/hcp stacking decreased sharply with increasing Cu atomic percentage from 0% to 50%, and the interface distances increased from ∼2.15 to ∼3.00 Å; meanwhile, the weak interaction of the BtopNfcc/hcp stacking decreased slightly with increasing Cu atomic percentage. The absorption of graphene on h-BN/Cu(111)-Ni with BtopNhollow/NtopBfcc and BtopNhollow/BtopNfcc stacking was more energetically favorable than that with NtopBhollow/NtopBfcc and NtopBhollow/BtopNfcc at Ni atomic percentages under 75%, while the interaction energy of graphene on h-BN/Cu(111)-Ni increased sharply at Ni atomic percentages higher than 75% for the BtopNhollow/NtopBfcc and NtopBhollow/NtopBfcc stacking. In contrast, the interaction between graphene and the h-BN/Ni(111)-Cu surface increased sharply at Cu atomic percentages lower than 25% and decreased sharply at Cu atomic percentages higher than 75%. The interaction energies were higher when the percentage of Cu atom was between 25% and 75%. The analysis of charge transfer and density of states provided further details on the changing character and evolution trends of the interactions among graphene, h-BN, and Cu-Ni surface alloy versus the Ni/Cu atomic percentage.

Plasma-assisted oxidation of Cu(100) and Cu(111).

Project description:Oxidized copper surfaces have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their unique catalytic properties, including their enhanced hydrocarbon selectivity during the electrochemical reduction of CO2. Although oxygen plasma has been used to create highly active copper oxide electrodes for CO2RR, how such treatment alters the copper surface is still poorly understood. Here, we study the oxidation of Cu(100) and Cu(111) surfaces by sequential exposure to a low-pressure oxygen plasma at room temperature. We used scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), low energy electron microscopy (LEEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) for the comprehensive characterization of the resulting oxide films. O2-plasma exposure initially induces the growth of 3-dimensional oxide islands surrounded by an O-covered Cu surface. With ongoing plasma exposure, the islands coalesce and form a closed oxide film. Utilizing spectroscopy, we traced the evolution of metallic Cu, Cu2O and CuO species upon oxygen plasma exposure and found a dependence of the surface structure and chemical state on the substrate's orientation. On Cu(100) the oxide islands grow with a lower rate than on the (111) surface. Furthermore, while on Cu(100) only Cu2O is formed during the initial growth phase, both Cu2O and CuO species are simultaneously generated on Cu(111). Finally, prolonged oxygen plasma exposure results in a sandwiched film structure with CuO at the surface and Cu2O at the interface to the metallic support. A stable CuO(111) surface orientation is identified in both cases, aligned to the Cu(111) support, but with two coexisting rotational domains on Cu(100). These findings illustrate the possibility of tailoring the oxidation state, structure and morphology of metallic surfaces for a wide range of applications through oxygen plasma treatments.

Cu mesh for flexible transparent conductive electrodes.

Project description:Copper electrodes with a micromesh/nanomesh structure were fabricated on a polyimide substrate using UV lithography and wet etching to produce flexible transparent conducting electrodes (TCEs). Well-defined mesh electrodes were realized through the use of high-quality Cu thin films. The films were fabricated using radio-frequency (RF) sputtering with a single-crystal Cu target--a simple but innovative approach that overcame the low oxidation resistance of ordinary Cu. Hybrid Cu mesh electrodes were fabricated by adding a capping layer of either ZnO or Al-doped ZnO. The sheet resistance and the transmittance of the electrode with an Al-doped ZnO capping layer were 6.197 ohm/sq and 90.657%, respectively, and the figure of merit was 60.502 × 10(-3)/ohm, which remained relatively unchanged after thermal annealing at 200 °C and 1,000 cycles of bending. This fabrication technique enables the mass production of large-area flexible TCEs, and the stability and high performance of Cu mesh hybrid electrodes in harsh environments suggests they have strong potential for application in smart displays and solar cells.

Mechanism Investigations on Water Gas Shift Reaction over Cu(111), Cu(100), and Cu(211) Surfaces.

Project description:Cu-based catalysts are commonly applied in low-temperature water gas shift (WGS) reactions, owing to their low cost and high catalytic activity. The influence of different Cu surfaces on catalytic activity and mechanism over the WGS reaction remains unclear. In this work, the effect of different structures of surfaces on the WGS mechanism is studied using density functional theory (DFT). Three surface terminations (Cu(100), Cu(111), and Cu(211)) of Cu are considered, and the coordination number (CN) of the active Cu site is in the range from 7 to 9. The most stable surface is Cu(211). Then, d-band center values are calculated, which decrease in the following sequence: Cu(211) > Cu(100) > Cu(111). This shows that d-band center values decrease with increasing coordination number. The increase in the centers of the d-band leads to an increase in the adsorption strength of CO and H2O adsorbates, which is in line with the theory of the d-band center. In addition, the further calculated mechanism for WGS reaction over three different Cu surfaces illustrates that the carboxyl path is the most favorable mechanism, and the rate-determining step is H2O dissociation. Cu(211) shows excellent WGS catalytic performance, better than the Cu(100) and Cu(111) surfaces. This work provides theoretical insights into the rational design of highly active Cu-based catalysts toward WGS reaction.

Ultrathin-metal-film-based transparent electrodes with relative transmittance surpassing 100.

Project description:Flexible transparent electrodes are in significant demand in applications including solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and touch panels. The combination of high optical transparency and high electrical conductivity, however, sets a stringent requirement on electrodes based on metallic materials. To obtain practical sheet resistances, the visible transmittance of the electrodes in previous studies is typically lower than the transparent substrates the electrode structures are built on, namely, the transmittance relative to the substrate is <100%. Here, we demonstrate a flexible dielectric-metal-dielectric-based electrode with ~88.4% absolute transmittance, even higher than the ~88.1% transmittance of the polymer substrate, which results in a relative transmittance of ~100.3%. This non-trivial performance is achieved by leveraging an optimized dielectric-metal-dielectric structure guided by analytical and quantitative principles described in this work, and is attributed to an ultra-thin and ultra-smooth copper-doped silver film with low optical loss and low sheet resistance.

Structure-Property Relationships of Poly(ethylene carbonate) and Poly(propylene carbonate).

Project description:Conformational characteristics of poly(ethylene carbonate) (PEC) and poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) have been revealed via molecular orbital (MO) calculations and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on model compounds with the same bond sequences as those of the polycarbonates. Bond conformations derived from the MO calculations on the models were in exact agreement with those from the NMR experiments. Both PEC and PPC were indicated to adopt distorted conformations including a number of gauche bonds and cover themselves with negative charges, thus failing to form a regular packing and remaining amorphous. The MO data were applied to the refined rotational isomeric state (RIS) calculations to yield configurational properties such as the characteristic ratio, its temperature coefficient, the configurational entropy, and average geometrical parameters of unperturbed PEC and PPC chains. In the RIS calculations on PPC, the regio- and stereosequences were generated according to the Bernoulli trial or Markov stochastic process. In consequence, it was shown that the configurational properties of PPC do not depend significantly on its regio- and stereoregularities. The internal energy contribution to rubberlike chain elasticity, calculated from the temperature coefficient of the characteristic ratio, has indicated the possibility that PEC and PPC will behave as elastomers. The practical applications and potential utilizations of the polycarbonates are discussed on the basis of the conformational characteristics and configurational properties.

Controlled synthesis of Bi- and tri-nuclear Cu-oxo nanoclusters on metal-organic frameworks and the structure-reactivity correlations.

Project description:Precisely tuning the nuclearity of supported metal nanoclusters is pivotal for designing more superior catalytic systems, but it remains practically challenging. By utilising the chemical and molecular specificity of UiO-66-NH2 (a Zr-based metal-organic framework), we report the controlled synthesis of supported bi- and trinuclear Cu-oxo nanoclusters on the Zr6O4 nodal centres of UiO-66-NH2. We revealed the interplay between the surface structures of the active sites, adsorption configurations, catalytic reactivities and associated reaction energetics of structurally related Cu-based 'single atoms' and bi- and trinuclear species over our model photocatalytic formic acid reforming reaction. This work will offer practical insight that fills the critical knowledge gap in the design and engineering of new-generation atomic and nanocluster catalysts. The precise control of the structure and surface sensitivities is important as it can effectively lead to more reactive and selective catalytic systems. The supported bi- and trinuclear Cu-oxo nanoclusters exhibit notably different catalytic properties compared with the mononuclear 'Cu1' analogue, which provides critical insight for the engineering of more superior catalytic systems.

Crystal structure of a di-aryl carbonate: 1,3-phenyl-ene bis-(phenyl carbonate).

Project description:The whole mol-ecule of the title compound, C20H14O6, is generated by mirror symmetry, the mirror bis-ecting the central benzene ring. The carbonate groups adopt an s-cis-s-cis conformation, with torsion angles of 58.7 (2) and 116.32 (15)°. The crystal structure of 1,3-phenyl-ene bis-(phenyl carbonate) contains no strong hydrogen bonds, though weak C-H⋯O and offset π-π inter-actions are observed, forming layers parallel to the ac plane.

Surface states mediated charge transfer in redox behavior of hemin at GaAs(100) electrodes.

Project description:EIS and XPS investigations on the interaction of hemin with p- and n-doped GaAs(100) electrodes in PBS solution revealed significant differences concerning both the adsorbed species and the mechanism of the redox process caused by dopant nature. XPS data show that hemin is adsorbed on p-GaAs(100) by its carboxyl groups and adopts a vertical position favorable to a polymeric film formation whereas on n-GaAs(100), the adsorbed hemin is monomeric and has a rather planar configuration involving mainly the OH groups of the organic molecule. Hemin gives rise to a reversible redox process at the p-GaAs(100) electrode whereas at n-GaAs(100), there is only one reduction wave of a considerably lower current density appearing at a more negative potential. The effects of the applied potential on the phase angle measured at p-GaAs(100) point out major changes not only in the insulating properties of the adsorbed layer, as found at n-GaAs(100), but also in the electronic properties of the semiconductor triggered by the hemin redox process. Analysis of the experimental data points to a mechanism of charge transfer through surface states, the observed differences being related to the location of the surface states with respect to the formal potential of the hemin redox couple.
