摘要
The pathway of methylidyne (CH) oxidation on Rh{211} was studied using plane wave density functional theory (DFT) slab calculations and microkinetic simulations. We present ample evidence that the direct decomposition and oxidation mechanism is not the main reaction route to sythesis gas especially during light-off of catalysts. We characterize the transition state for the surface oxidation of CH to oxomethylidyne (CHO) species and subsequent decomposition to CO and H as products to establish the minimum energy pathway.
