Abstract:
We present kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of ethylene conversion to ethylidyne on Pd(1 1 1) and Pt(1 1 1) surfaces, on the basis of reaction enthalpies and barriers obtained from periodic density functional calculations. We considered three possible mechanisms encompassing four different intermediates, ethyl, vinyl, ethylidene, and vinylidene. Our simulations predict that the most plausible pathway on both surfaces is ethylene --> vinyl --> vinylidene --> ethylidyne. In contrast to earlier sugg...     »
