Description

Using density functional theory and slab model, the adsorption behavior of N2 on single atom catalyst Ir1/MoS2 was studied. The results show that the dominant adsorption site of N2 is the top position of Ir atom, the configuration is vertical downward, and the adsorption energy reaches 1.57 eV, which is chemical adsorption. The electronic structure shows that the 2Pz orbital adsorbed N atom mixes with Ir 5dz2, 5dxz, 5dyz and 6Pz in Z direction to make N2 adsorbed stably on Ir atom. (authors)
