摘要
Uranium nitrides are one kind of accident-tolerant fuels and have been paid more attention recently. With the first-principles Density-Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, the adsorptions properties of some typical atoms, molecules and radical (including O, H, H-2, O-2, H2O and OH) adsorbed on the UN2 (001) surface have been studied in the present work. The preferred sites and stable configurations for those adsorbates on the UN2 (001) surface have been obtained. It's found that O or H atom prefers to be adsorbed at the bridge site; O-2 adsorption will dissociate into two O atoms and occupy the nearest neighbor bridge sites; the interaction between H-2 molecule and the UN2 (001) surface is very weak; OH prefers to occupy the bridge site with its O-H bond vertical to the surface; the surface adsorption of H2O is non-dissociated and adsorption energies are dependent on the initial structures and adsorption modes.
