Chemical trends in the metal-substrate interaction for adsorbed Pt atoms — •Chong Gao and Axel Größ — Institut für Theoretische Chemie, Universität Ulm, *D-89069 Ulm, Germany
Catalysts typically consist of small metal particles deposited on a oxide substrate. In this context, the so-called strong metal support interaction (SMSI) has been discussed intensively [1] which significantly influences the catalytic properties of group VIII metals. Using density functional theory, we have performed a systematic study of chemical trends in the metal-support interaction. As a first step, we considered a single Pt atoms adsorbed on TiO2, Si and Au substrates, thus making also contact to systems that are of interest in electrocatalysis. As a probe of the chemical reactivity, we determined the electronic structure of the adsorbed Pt atoms and evaluated CO adsorption energies on these metal-support systems. The results are compared to recent results of the local reactivity of surface alloy systems [1,2].
