摘要

First-principles calculations are performed to investigate the energetic, structural and electronic properties of (Cu1-xZnx)(2)(OH)(2)CO3 (x = 0, 1/8, 2/8, 3/8 and 4/8) crystals usually as Cu/ZnO catalyst precursor for methanol synthesis. The calculation results show that (Cu6/8Zn2/8)(2)(OH)(2)CO3, exhibiting the weakest Jahn-Teller distortion, is the most stable structure in thermodynamics due to the lowest formation energy. Meanwhile, Zn atoms are preferentially located on the Cu-2 sites, in good agreement with the crystal field theory. The calculated structural parameters, including the equilibrium lattice constants and average bond lengths, are consistent with the available experimental results. The analysis results of Mulliken charges, bond populations, charge density difference and density of states demonstrate that covalent feature of Zn-O bonds are much stronger than Cu-O bonds, and covalent features gradually enhance in Zn-doped Cu-2(OH)(2)CO3 system with the incorporation amount of Zn dopant increasing. The lowest peak value of valence electrons of (Cu6/8Zn2/8)(2)(OH)(2)CO3 at the Fermi level further implies the most stable structure. Our computational results of (Cu1-xZnx)(2)(OH)(2)CO3 precursors should provide the fundamental and meaningful theoretical guidance for understanding and preparing the highly active Cu/ZnO catalyst.
