Study on the Adsorption and Activation Behaviours of Carbon Dioxide over Copper Cluster (Cu4) and Alumina-Supported Copper Catalyst (Cu4/Al2O3) by means of Density Functional Theory

The adsorption and activation of carbon dioxide over copper cluster (Cu4) and copper doped on the alumina support (Cu4/Al2O3) catalytic systems have been investigated by using density functional theory and climbing image nudged elastic band. The adsorption energies, geometrical configurations, and e...
