Nickel-Based Single-Atom Alloys for Methane Dehydrogenation and the Effect of Subsurface Carbon: First-Principles Investigations

Using ab initio calculations, the reaction path for methane dehydrogenation over a series of Ni-based single-atom alloys (Cu, Fe, Pt, Pd, Zn, Al) and the effect that subsurface carbon at the Ni(111) surface has on the reaction barriers are investigated. Due to the well-known problem of coking for Ni...
