摘要: Supported nanoclusters have an important future in chemical processes such as catalysis. However, to optimize the properties of supported nanoclusters, attention must be paid electronic both adsorbate and substrate materials. Highly ordered pyrolytic graphite is commonly used a for Au nanoclusters; however, cluster functionality mobility problem on this inert surface. Therefore, we designed model Li-doped investigated adsorbed atoms material using density functional theory (DFT). We find that increasing concentration Li results improved adsorption Au16 onto surface, with energies up 0.96 1.50 eV, respectively, when Perdew, Burke, Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange-correlation functional. In case nanocluster, charge transfer >1 e computed, which should make supporte...
