不同类型氮掺杂碳纳米结构上氧分子的解离

Oxygen molecule dissociation on carbon nanostructures with different types of nitrogen doping

Shuang Ni, Zhenyu Li, Jinlong Yang

摘要:

利用密度泛函理论研究了不同氮掺杂类型的碳纳米管和石墨烯上氧分子解离的能垒。结果表明,碳纳米管和石墨烯中的所有类型的氮掺杂都可以有效地降低能量势垒。类石墨氮和Stone-Wales缺陷氮比类吡啶氮更有效地降低能垒,并且可以获得低于0.2eV的解离势垒。对于类石墨氮,更高的氮浓度更有效地降低能垒。这些观测结果与π* 轨道的部分占据和功函数的变化密切相关。因此,我们的研究结果提供了有用的见解的氧还原反应。

英文摘要:

Energy barrier of oxygen molecule dissociation on carbon nanotube or graphene with different types of nitrogen doping is investigated using density functional theory. The results show that the energy barriers can be reduced efficiently by all types of nitrogen doping in both carbon nanotubes and graphene. Graphite-like nitrogen and Stone-Wales defect nitrogen decrease the energy barrier more efficiently than pyridine-like nitrogen, and a dissociation barrier lower than 0.2 eV can be obtained. Higher nitrogen concentration reduces the energy barrier much more efficiently for graphite-like nitrogen. These observations are closely related to partial occupation of π* orbitals and change of work functions. Our results thus provide useful insights into the oxygen reduction reactions.
