Density functional theory shows that the CO coverage on Co(0 0 0 1) increases gradually until a (√3 × √3)R30o-CO configuration (1/3 ML) is formed. This structure is stable over a relatively wide temperature and pressure range near FT conditions, until a phase transition to a (2√3 × 2√3)R30o-7CO structure occurs at high CO pressures. The 1/3 ML CO coverage reduces the H2 binding enthalpy from -121 to -74 kJ/mol and reduces the hydrogen coverage to | Source Title: | Journal of Catalysis | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/88799 | ISSN: | 00219517 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jcat.2012.10.008 |
