When a solid surface accommodates guest molecules, they induce noticeable stresses to the surface and cause its strain. Nanoporous materials have high surface area and, therefore, are very sensitive to this effect called adsorption-induced deformation. In recent years, there has been significant progress in both experimental and theoretical studies of this phenomenon, driven by the development of new materials as well as advanced experimental and modeling techniques. Also, adsorption-induced deformation has been found to manifest in numerous natural and engineering processes, e.g., drying of concrete, water-actuated movement of non-living plant tissues, change of permeation of zeolite membranes, swelling of coal and shale, etc. In this review, we summarize the most recent experimental and theoretical findings on adsorption-induced deformation and present the state-of-the-art picture of thermodynamic and mechanical aspects of this phenomenon. We also reflect on the existing challenges related both to the fundamental understanding of this phenomenon and to selected applications, e.g., in sensing and actuation, and in natural gas recovery and geological CO2 sequestration.

“…This is different for to Cu[111], where much larger distortions are induced. 31 To better understand the changes in the BDEtot of the alkane thiolates as a function of the surface coverage and chain length (Figure 5), we quantify the intermolecular and adsorbate-substrate interactions, which play a role in SAM formation. For this purpose, we use the following definitions.…”

Structural Phases of Alkanethiolate Self-Assembled Monolayers (C_1–12) on Cu[100] by Density Functional Theory

et al. 2020

The structure and as such the properties of alkanethiolate self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metal surfaces depend on the surface structure, thiolate coverage and chain length. The chain length dependence of alkanethiolate phases on Au surfaces is extensively documented. Much less insight exists for alkanethiolate SAMs on Cu surfaces, despite the relevance for area-selective deposition (ASD) applications. This work therefore studies the phase behavior of alkanethiolates on Cu through density functional theory (DFT) modelling. Short chain thiolates (C1,2) display no phase behavior and their saturation coverage is determined by steric hindrance. Longer thiolates (C6,12)show distinct lying-down and standing-up phases. The substrate-adsorbate interactions become weaker with increasing thiolate content, but still dominate in the standing-up phase at the saturation content of 5.1•10 14 thiolates•cm -2 . This is in contrast to Au [100] surfaces, where intermolecular interactions dominate at the saturation content, which is slightly higher than that on Cu[100]. The saturation coverage seems to be determined primarily by steric hindrance, which in turn will depend on the lattice parameter of the surface. We conclude that insights for alkanethiolate SAMs on Au cannot necessarily be transferred to Cu.

Adsorption-Induced Surface Stresses of the Water/Quartz Interface: Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Study

Adsorption-induced deformation is expansion or contraction of a solid due to adsorption on its surface. This phenomenon is important for a wide range of applications, from chemomechanical sensors to methane recovery from geological formations. The strain of the solid is driven by the change of the surface stress due to adsorption. Using ab initio molecular dynamics, we calculate the surface stresses for the dry α-quartz surfaces, and investigate how these stresses change when the surfaces are exposed to water. We find that the nonhydroxylated surface shows small and approximately isotropic changes in stress, while the hydroxylated surface, which interacts more strongly with the polar water molecules, shows larger and qualitatively anisotropic (opposite sign in xx and yy) surface stress changes. All of these changes are several times larger than the surface tension of water itself. The anisotropy and possibility of positive surface stress change can explain experimentally observed surface area contraction due to adsorption.
