ABSTRACT
CONTEXT The abilities of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 as catalysts for N2-RR to create the NH3 are investigated by theoretical levels. The ∆Eadoption and ∆Eformation of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 are investigated. The ∆Eadsorption of N2-RR intermediates and ΔGreaction of reaction steps of N2-RR on Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 are examined. In acceptable mechanisms, the *NN â *NNH step is potential limiting step and *NN â *NNH step in enzymatic mechanism is endothermic reaction. The ∆Greaction of *NHNH2 â *NH2NH2 step on Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 are -0.904, -0.928, -0.860, -0.882, -0.817 and -0.838 eV, respectively. The Co-Al18P18 and Ni-Al21N21 have the highest ∆Greaction values for reaction steps of N2-RR. Finally, it can be concluded that the Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24 and Mn-B27P2 have acceptable potential for N2-RR by acceptable pathways. METHODS:
The structures of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 and N2-RR intermediates are optimized by PW91PW91/6-311+G (2d, 2p) and M06-2X/cc-pVQZ as theoretical levels in GAMESS software. The convergence for force set displacement of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 and N2-RR intermediates are 1.5 × 105 Hartree/Bohr and 6.0 × 10-5 Angstrom. The Opt = Tight and MaxStep = 30 are considered to optimize Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 and N2-RR intermediates. The frequencies of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 and N2-RR intermediates are calculated.
