Resumen
A computational study of a Ni atom in a coronene (Cor) molecule, as a model of a single-atom catalyst (SAC), was carried out using a DFT approach. The adsorption energy results of Ni on Cor (2.31–1.84 eV) are similar to those reported for extended graphene. Ni-Cor adsorption is preferred at edge sites and electron transfer from Ni to Cor occurs. H2 adsorbs on Ni-Cor with 1.03–1.24 eV. Correlations were obtained between the H2 adsorption energies and some properties of Ni-Cor. The results suggest that Ni-Cor could be used for hydrogen storage and also for catalytic hydrogenation of hydrocarbons. © 2024

Catalytic effect of [trans-Cu(μ-OH)(μ-dmpz)]6 on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (2021)
Molina, Vanessa; Arroyo, Juan Luis; MacLeod-Carey, Desmond; Munõz-Castro, Álvaro; Morales-Verdejo, César A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2021-11-15)Spatial race under low oxygen conditions requires solid mild propellants to be used. Therefore, we study the catalytic effect of the previously reported [trans-Cu(μ-OH)(μ-dmpz)]6 complex on the thermal decomposition of ...
