Abstract

En 中文
The oxide layer on iron nitrides restricts the conductivity of electrode materials. The adsorption and dissociation processes of O-2 on the Fe4N have been analyzed by using first-principles. Comparing all the O2Fe4N isomers, we find that O atom prefers to locate at the center site of Fe-Fe-Fe plane which stays away from N atom. It means that O-2 molecule is dissociated on the surface of Fe4N molecule. Endothermic and exothermic processes occur with the adsorption and decomposition of O-2 on the surface of Fe4N. All the O2Fe4N clusters still present higher kinetic activity. For the O2Fe4N clusters, the internal electrons transfer from 4s to 3d and 4p orbitals which are obviously more than those transfer to the other atoms. O atoms acquire less electron from nearby Fe atoms which confirms that the adsorption of O-2 on Fe4N is a physical adsorption process. The average spin of the ground-state O2Fe4N clusters is 1.805 mu(B)/atom.
