Abstract:The adsorption of CO, NO and SO on cobalt clusters (Co2-7) were investigated using density functional theory. The adsorption energy supports efficient chemisorption of greenhouse gases on the cobalt clusters, with CO and NO forming one to three Co-C and Co-N bonds, respectively, the first being the most stable. The SO formed bidentate complexes with Co-S and Co-O bonds in ConSO structures, displaying notably high adsorption energy. The interactions between Con clusters and gas molecules (G) result in weakened … Show more
