Popis: | The catalytic behavior of oxide-supported metal oxide species depends on the nature of the support and the presence of co-catalysts. We use density functional theory (DFT) to explore the relationship between the structure and chemical behavior of vanadium oxide in light of its industrial use for the selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide with ammonia (NO-SCR). The relative stabilities of dispersed VO X monomers, dimers, and long-chain oligomers on two model oxide support surfaces with similar structure but drastically different chemical behavior, α-Al 2 O 3 (0001) and α-Fe 2 O 3 (0001), are determined. The effect of added tungsten, known to promote NO-SCR, is also investigated on the relatively inert α-Al 2 O 3 (0001) support. We find that the adsorption behavior of NH 3 , representing the first step of the NO-SCR reaction, depends strongly on the VO X local structure. Protonation of NH 3 to NH 4 + over surface hydroxyls is energetically favorable over VO X -WO X dimers and VO X oligomers, which are stabilized by the reducible α-Fe 2 O 3 (0001) support. |
