2 Metal nanoclusters and Catalysis: Big particles Wulff theorem Wulff theorem = tool to predict the equilibrium shape of gas-phase metal clusters. It has been developed for macroscopic particles, but can be applied to metal nanoclusters Considering the (111) and (100) surfaces (for simplicity), one has: (100)/ (111) = d(100)/d(111) (100), (111) = surface energies of (100) and (111) facets d(100), d(111) = distances of facets from the centre of the cluster Gas-phase particles This criterion is quite intuitive: the higher the surface energy, the smaller the extension of the face.

3 Metal nanoclusters and Catalysis: Big particles Wulff-Kaishev theorem Wulff-Kaishev theorem : for supported particles for the face in contact with the support, the surface energy has to be rescaled considering the adhesion to the substrate. As the adhesion usually stabilizes the particle, the face on contact with the surface is larger. This is shown in the following image. Supported particles

4 Metal nanoclusters and Catalysis: Big particles Wulff-Kaishev theorem in presence of reactants: O on Ag particles Let s now consider a silver particle adsorbed on amorphous alumina. DFT-estimated surface energies of the (111), (100) and (110) facets : aspect-ratio Roughly estimating an adhesion of 0.2 ev per atom in contact with the oxide, the equilibrium shape of silver particle (about 6 nm in diameter) resulting from the Wulff-Kaishev theorem is the following. about 6 nm in diameter Catalysis Today (2011) side-view top-view

5 Metal nanoclusters and Catalysis: Big particles Wulff-Kaishev theorem in presence of reactants : O on Ag particles when oxygen atoms are adsorbed on the surface, the surface energies have to be rescaled according to the following data: (100) surface 1/2 coverage G=-0.30 ev (111) surface 1/4 coverage G= ev (110) surface 1/2 coverage G= ev We have measured the adsorption energy of oxygen over the Ag surfaces according to the following equation: E ads = 1/No [ E tot E(Ag) No/2 E(O 2 )] We have calculated the G of the reactions by estimating of the G mol (O 2 ) at atmospheric pressure and temperature (298 K) as: G mol (O 2 ) = ev

6 Metal nanoclusters and Catalysis: Big particles Wulff-Kaishev theorem in presence of reactants: O on Ag particles The surface energies of the (111), (100) and (110) faces have to be rescaled according the following data Applying the Wulff-Kaishev theorem using the rescaled values of the surface energies, we get the following structure: about 6 nm in diameter aspect-ratio The aspect-ratio of the silver supported nanoparticles has changed side-view top-view

7 Metal nanoclusters and Catalysis: Big particles Wulff-Kaishev theorem in presence of reactants: O on Ag particles The aspect ratio of the silver particles changes according to the oxygen pressure. Supported particle without oxygen Supported particle at p(o 2 )= 5 x 10-3 atm Supported particle at p(o 2 )= 1 atm This is in line with the experiment: it is observed that the aspect ratio increases in time during partial oxidation of propylene to propylene oxide and acrolein. Our interpretation is that during the reaction the surface is chemically reduced

8 Metal nanoclusters and Catalysis: Big particles Wulff-Kaishev theorem in presence of reactants: C on Ni particles Let s now examine the case of carbon adsorption over a Ni nanoparticle. In absence of carbon adsorbed, the Wulff theorem predicts the following structure for a gas-phase nanoparticle of about 5 nm in diameter. According to DFT, only (111) and (100) facets are exposed in the gas phase

10 Metal nanoclusters and Catalysis: Big particles C atoms on the (113) surface ev ev ev ev the adsorption energy passes through a MAXIMUM = experimental observation of an incubation time

11 Metal nanoclusters and Catalysis: Big particles Wulff-Kaishev theorem in presence of reactants: C on Ni particles If carbon is adsorbed on the surface, we can observe the growth of the (113) facets, as carbon strongly interacts with this type of surface NB! Assuming a given carbon chemical potential submitted (2012) (113) facets are exposed due to the lowering of the surface energy This is in agreement with experimental observations
