Abstrakt: Context: The potential of Ni-C 72 and Ni-Al 36 P 36 as effective catalysts for O 3 decomposition is examined by LH and ER mechanisms. The activation barrier energy and Gibbs free energy of reaction steps for O 3 decomposition on Ni-C 72 and Ni-Al 36 P 36 are calculated. The ∆E formation of Ni-C 72 and Ni-Al 36 P 36 are negative values and these structures are stable nano-catalysts. The Ni atoms are catalytic positions to adsorb the O 3 and other important species of O 3 decomposition by LH and ER mechanisms. The Ni-Al 36 P 36 for O 3 decomposition has lower E acivation and more negative ∆G reaction than Ni-C 72 . The E acivation value of rate-determining step for O 3 decomposition by LH mechanism is lower than ER mechanism. The Ni-C 72 and Ni-Al 36 P 36 can catalyze the reaction steps of O 3 decomposition by LH and ER mechanisms.
Methods: The structures of Ni-C 72 and Ni-Al 36 P 36 nanocages and their complexes with O 3 and other important species of are optimized by PW91PW91/6-311 + G (2d, 2p) model and M06-2X/cc-pVQZ model in GAMESS software. The strcutures of nanocages and their complexes with important species of O 3 decomposition by LH and ER mechanisms are optimized and their frequencies are calculated in order to demonstrate that these structures are real minima on the potential energy surface.
