Abstract

A density functional theory (DFT) study of CO2adsorption on barium oxide (BaO) adsorbents is conducted to understand the chemical activity of the oxygen site on the BaO (100) surface. This study evaluated the adsorption energies and geometries of a single CO2molecule and a pair of CO2molecules on the BaO (100) surface. A quantum calculation was performed to obtain information on the molecular structures and molecular reaction mechanisms; the results of the calculation indicated that CO 2was adsorbed on BaO to form a stable surface carbonate with strong chemisorption. To study the interactive CO2adsorption on the BaO (100) surface, a pair of CO2molecules was bound to neighboring and distant oxygen sites. The interactive CO2adsorption on the BaO surface was found to slightly weaken the adsorption energy, owing to the interaction between CO2molecules.
