Molecular dynamics simulations of rapid hydrogen production from water using aluminum clusters as catalyzers.
Hydrogen production by metal particles in water could provide a renewable energy cycle, if its reaction kinetics is accelerated. Here, ab initio molecular dynamics simulation reveals rapid hydrogen production from water by a cluster (or superatom) consisting of a magic number of aluminum atoms, Al{n} (for instance, n=12 or 17). We find a low activation-barrier mechanism, in which a pair of Lewi...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Water in Single WallCarbon Nanotube
The overall aim of this study is to calculate some water properties in the single wall carbon naotubes (SWCNT) and compare them to the bulk water properties to investigate the deviation of water properties inside the SWCNT from those in the bulk. Here some physical and transport properties of water molecules in the single wall carbon nanotube were reported by performing molecular dynamics (MD) ...

متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Al/NiO Thermite Reaction Using Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF)
In this work, the thermal reaction of aluminum (Al) and nickel oxide (NiO) was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Some effective features of reaction such as reaction temperature, the reaction mechanism, and diffusion rate of oxygen into aluminum structure were studied. ReaxFF force field was performed to study the Al/NiO thermite reaction behavior at five different temperatures (5...
متن کاملReaction of aluminum clusters with water.
The atomistic mechanism of rapid hydrogen production from water by an aluminum cluster is investigated by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations on a parallel computer. A low activation-barrier mechanism of hydrogen production is found, in which a pair of Lewis acid and base sites on the cluster surface plays a crucial role. Hydrogen production is assisted by rapid proton transport in water v...
