Density functional study of selective oxidation of ethanol over silver catalysts
A systematic study on the catalytic oxidation of Ag(111) and Ag(211) on the surface of Ag(111) was carried out by density functional theory. It was found that atomic O* is necessary to initiate the reaction at the ambient conditions. The O—H bond in the ethanol is activated with the help of adsorbed atomic O* to form ethoxy
which then further transfers hydrogen in
α
-C—H to adsorbed O* forming the acetaldehyde (
E
a
<
38 kJ/mol)
which
in turn
reacts with atomic O*/OH* to form final product CO
which indicated it is the rate-determining step. The results indicate that the catalytic oxidation of ethanol on silver surfaces is structural sensitive. Selectivity towards value-added products like acetaldehyde would be improved by reducing the density of defected sites.
