The effect of oxygen–oxygen repulsion in the production of water from hydrogen–oxygen reaction on the surface: A computer simulation study
چکیده انگلیسی

The formation of water from hydrogen–oxygen reaction on a metal surface is of immense importance due to the technological reasons. This reaction has been studied via a thermal mechanism on a Pt single crystal surface where the two molecules, H2 and O2, have been adsorbed dissociatively in atomic form. The reaction takes place between the adsorbed atoms through an intermediate OH radical. We have studied this reaction via a thermal (Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism) as well as a non-thermal mechanism (precursor mechanism) by the Monte Carlo computer simulations. In this study, we have applied a novel approach based upon the experimental observations that the dissociated oxygen atoms do not sit next to one another on a catalytic surface. Some interesting results like the shifting of the phase transition points, the broadening of the reaction window width and the elimination of the second-order phase transition in the non-thermal reaction mechanism are obtained by considering various possibilities of the reaction scheme. The phase diagrams as well as the snapshots of the surface covered with the reacting species are presented.
