Splitting methanol on ultra-thin MgO(100) films deposited on a Mo substrate.
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics : PCCP 2017 March 9
The dissociation reaction of methanol on metal-supported MgO(100) films has been studied by employing density functional theory calculations. As far as we know, the dissociation of a single methanol molecule over inert oxide insulators such as MgO has not yet been successfully realized without the introduction of defects or low coordinated atoms. By depositing ultra-thin oxide films on a Mo substrate, we have successfully proposed the dissociative state of methanol. The dissociation reaction is energetically exothermic and nearly barrierless. The lattice mismatch between ultra-thin MgO(100) films and metal substrates plays a crucial role in the heterolytic dissociation of adsorbates, while the electronic effect of the Mo(100) substrate plays a non-ignorable role in the homolytic dissociation of methanol. The metal-supported ultra-thin oxide films studied herein provide a versatile approach to enhance the surface reaction activity and properties of oxides.
