DFT Study of the Sequential Growth of Pdn (n = 1−7) Clusters on (110D) Surface of γ-Alumina

Abstract

Metal-support and metal-metal interactions influence the efficiency of heterogeneous catalysts.
Pdn (n=1−7) clusters were optimized sequentially on the (110D) γ-alumina surface.
The metal−support interaction controls the Pdn growth up to n = 4, producing a linear cluster.
Pd5 is a transition point, starting a 2D regime.
From n = 6, the metal−metal interaction directs the growth to 3D, attenuating the Pdn→(110D) flux.
