Abstract

The transition states of the elementary reactions for the dissociation of methane on the ruthenium (0001) surface have been investigated with DFT periodic calculations and the nudged elastic band method (NEB) for 25% coverages. The calculated barriers are 85 kJ mol-1 for methane decomposition, 49 kJ mol-1 for methyl decomposition, and 16 kJ mol-1 for methylene decomposition, respectively. The decomposition of CHads requires the highest activation energy from the series with 108 kJ mol-1. Discussion concerning chemical bonding aspects of the transition states structures is provided for.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
