Given the importance of SO2 as a pollutant species in the environment and its role in the hybrid sulphur (HyS) cycle for hydrogen production, we carried out a density functional theory study of its interaction with the Pt (001), (011), and (111) surfaces. First, we investigated the adsorption of a single…
Chemicals based on renewable resources are much desired in view of the dwindling supply of fossil fuels and the climatic problems caused by the accompanying rise in CO2 production. Polymers are among the highest volume chemical materials and thus their production from renewable resources would be highly rewarding. Two different strategies…
The hydrated hydronium ions in in aqueous phase, on solid surfaces, and nano-sized pores provide a unique environment that modifies the excess chemical potentials, influencing the ground and transition state of reacting molecules. Depending on the environment this may lead to marked changes in catalyzed pathways for acid-base and metal catalyzed…
