We study the adsorption dynamics of N(2) on the Fe(110) surface. Classical molecular dynamics calculations are performed on top of a six-dimensional potential energy surface calculated within density functional theory. Our results show that N(2) dissociation on this surface is a highly activated process that takes place along a very narrow reaction path with an energy barrier of around 1.1 eV, ...

the adsorption of a number of amino acids on a defected single-walled carbon nanotube (swcnt) isinvestigated by using the density-functional theory (dft) calculations. the adsorption energies andequilibrium distances are calculated for various configurations such as amino acid attaching to defectsites heptagon, pentagon and hexagon in defective tube and also for several molecular orientationswi...

We perform a detailed study of the static and dynamical properties of molecular oxygen adsorption on Ag(110) based on semi-local density functional theory (DFT) calculations and compare the results to experimental studies. For the classical dynamics calculations we use two complementary approaches, ab initio molecular dynamics and dynamics on a precalculated potential energy surface. In contras...

Water adsorption is becoming increasingly important for many applications including thermal energy storage, desalination, and water harvesting. To develop such applications, it is essential to understand both adsorbent-adsorbate and adsorbate-adsorbate interactions, and also the energy required for adsorption/desorption processes of porous material-adsorbate systems, such as zeolites and metal-...

Adsorption and desorption behavior of Gd(III) ionon macroporous weak acid resin (MWAR) had been investigated.The influence of operational conditions such as contact time, initial concentration of Gd(III) ion, initial pH of solution and temperature on the adsorption of Gd(III) ion had been examined. Experimental data were exploited for kinetic and thermodynamic evaluations ...

The adsorption of H₂ on LaNiO₃ was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption sites, adsorption energy, and electronic structure of LaNiO₃(001)/H₂ systems were calculated and indicated through the calculated surface energy that the (001) surface was the most stable surface. By looking at optimized structure, adsorption energy and dissociation energy, we foun...

The adsorption properties of water molecules on TiO₂ nanotubes (TiO₂NT) and the interaction mechanisms between water molecules are studied by first principles calculations. The adsorption preferences of water molecules in molecular or dissociated states on clean and H-terminated TiO₂NT are evaluated. Adsorption of OH clusters on (0, 6) and (9, 0) TiO₂ nanotubes are first studied. The smallest a...

We report the density-functional calculations of NO2 adsorption on single-walled carbon nanotube walls. A single molecular adsorption was endothermic with an activation barrier, but a collective adsorption with several molecules became exothermic without an activation barrier. We find that NO2 adsorption is strongly electronic structure- and strain-dependent. The NO2 adsorption on metallic nano...

effectiveness of furfural as an organic inhibitor in 5 percent hydrochloric acid which is used in acid pickling of steel was evaluated. lungmuir, frumkin and flory-huggins isotherms [1, 2] were used to determine the parameters of effective adsorption, free energy and entropy of adsorption. furfural indicated an inhibition less than 17 percent in concentrations of 0.001 mole per liter for a dura...

   In this study the adsorption of selenium molecule (Se2) on the outer surface of zigzag (5,0), (8,0) and (10,0) carbon nanotubes has been investigated. We examined number adsorbed orientations as well as different adsorption sites on nanotubes. The adsorption energies, equilibrium distances, energy differences between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest uno...
