Hydrogenation Reactions on Au/TiC(001): Effects of AuC Interactions on the Dissociation of H2
2010
Density functional calculations carried out for realistic models evidence that Au particles supported on TiC(001) are very active towards H2 dissociation. The molecular mechanisms show that the support is not a mere spectator but plays a major role in the catalyzed reaction and acts as a reservoir of atomic H, making this system an excellent candidate as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of olefins and hydrodesulfurization reactions.
