CO₂ and H₂O Coadsorption and Reaction on the Low-Index Surfaces of Tantalum Nitride: A First-Principles DFT-D3 Investigation by Nelson Y. Dzade

“…The adsorption of the CO₂ on the Ta₃N₅(001), (010), and (110) surfaces is demonstrated to be characterized by charge transfer from surface species to the CO₂ molecule, resulting in its activation (i.e., forming negatively charged bent CO₂^−δ species, with elongated C–O bonds confirmed via vibrational frequency analyses). Compared to direct CO₂ dissociation, H₂O dissociates spontaneously on the Ta₃N₅ surfaces, providing the necessary hydrogen source for CO₂ reduction reactions. …”
