The influences of rotation excitation （j = 0 -3） on stereodynamics are discussed. The obtained stereodynamical information is compared with the previously reported results on the 2A′ and 2^A＂ PESs to give a full insight into the chemical stereodynamics of the title reaction.展开更多

In this work, based on the first-principles calculation, the catalytic performance of a single transition metal(TM)(TM = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn,Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, Ir, Pt, Au, or Hg) atom anchored on C_(9)N_(4) monolayer(TM@C_(9)N_(4)) for the hydrogenation of CO_(2) to FA is calculated. The results show that single TM atom doping in C_(9)N_(4) can form a stable TM@C_(9)N_(4) structure, and Cu@C_(9)N_(4) and Co@C_(9)N_(4) show better catalytic performance in the process of CO_(2) hydrogenation to FA(the corresponding maximum energy barriers are 0.41 eV and 0.43 e V, respectively). The partial density of states(PDOS), projected crystal orbital Hamilton population(p COHP), difference charge density analysis and Bader charge analysis demonstrate that the TM atom plays an important role in the reaction. The strong interaction between the 3d orbitals of the TM atom and the non-bonding orbitals(1πg) of CO_(2) allows the reaction to proceed under mild conditions. In general, our results show that Cu@C_(9)N_(4) and Co@C_(9)N_(4) are a promising single-atom catalyst and can be used as the non-precious metals electrocatalyst for CO_(2) hydrogenation to formic acid.展开更多
