Structure, Electronic, and Magnetic Properties of Binary PtnTM55–n (TM = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) Nanoclusters: A Density Functional Theory Investigation

Abstract: Bimetallic platinum-based transition-metal (PtTM, TM = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) nanoclusters are potential candidates to improve and reduce the cost of Pt-based catalysts; however, our current understanding of the binary PtTM nanoclusters is far from satisfactory compared with binary surfaces. In this work, we report a density functional theory investigation of the structural, energetic, and electronic properties of binary PtTM nanoclusters employing 55-atom model systems (Pt n TM 55−n ). We found that the form… Show more

“…[41,42] If the substituted metal atoms are in the second layer of the Fe 3 Cs ubstrate, the atomic size difference between the substituted metal and Fe increases strain in the bulk structure, and to relieve the strain,t he introduced metal atoms in the bulk exchange with Fe atomsa tt he surface. [41][42][43] The atomic size differenceb etween the substituted metal atom and Fe atom in the case of Cu and Zn is relatively larger than that of Ni and Co (atomicr adius = 1.26, 1.25, 1.25, 1.29, and 1.38 for Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn, respectively [44] ), which leads to al argers train and driving force for Cu and Zn atoms to segregate towardt he Fe 3 Cs urfacec ompared to Ni and Co atoms.I nt he calculations, we also find that Cu and Zn have am ore positive value of DE exc than Ni and Co, whichd escribes the easier surfaces egregation of Cu and Zn toward the Fe 3 Csurface than Ni and Co atoms.…”

“…Guedes-Sobrinho et al 50 seguiram a mesma metodologia de Piotrowski 49 para investigar nanoligas de Pt n MT 55−n , para os MT Fe, Co, Ni, Cu e Zn e n = 6, 13,20,28,35,42,49. Os autores verificaram que todos os sistemas e composições investigados possuem energia de excesso negativa, isto é, todos são energeticamente favoráveis em comparação aos respectivos nanoclusters unários de 55 átomos dos metais presentes na nanoliga.…”

“…A distribuição de cargas entre os átomos de um sistema configura-se como uma análise fundamental para o entendimento da natureza das ligações químicas que ocorrem, [153,161] permitindo a construção de argumentos sobre formação de dipolos, fluxos de cargas ocorrendo entre os átomos e eletronegatividades relativas das espécies formadoras dos sistemas estudados. A escolha de um formalismo de carga depende da qualidade das funções-base que descrevem a densidade eletrônica dos sistemas.…”
