One prominent example is single-atom alloys, where the reactive dopant atoms can preferentially locate in the bulk or at different sites on the surface of the nanoparticle. However, ab initio modeling of catalysts usually only considers one site of the catalyst, neglecting the effects of multiple sites. Here, nanoparticles of copper doped with single-atom rhodium or palladium are modeled for the dehydrogenation of propane. Single-atom alloy nanoparticles are simulated at 400–600 K, using machine learning potentials trained on density functional theory calculations, and then the occupation of different single-atom active sites is identified using a similarity kernel. Further, the turnover frequency for all possible sites is calculated for propane dehydrogenation to propene through microkinetic modeling using density functional theory calculations. The total turnover frequencies of the whole nanoparticle are then described from both the population and the individual turnover frequency of each site. Under operating conditions, rhodium as a dopant is found to almost exclusively occupy (111) surface sites while palladium as a dopant occupies a greater variety of facets. Undercoordinated dopant surface sites are found to tend to be more reactive for propane dehydrogenation compared to the (111) surface. It is found that considering the dynamics of the single-atom alloy nanoparticle has a profound effect on the calculated catalytic activity of single-atom alloys by several orders of magnitude.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"MaIb"},{"_id":"BiCh"}],"issue":"27","publication_status":"published","date_published":"2023-06-30T00:00:00Z","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"pmid":1,"date_updated":"2023-10-11T08:45:10Z","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","month":"06","day":"30","file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"cchlebak","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"2023_JACS_Bunting.pdf","checksum":"e07d5323f9c0e5cbd1ad6453f29440ab","relation":"main_file","success":1,"file_id":"13219","file_size":3155843,"date_created":"2023-07-12T10:22:04Z","date_updated":"2023-07-12T10:22:04Z"}],"type":"journal_article","ddc":["540"],"acknowledgement":"B.C. acknowledges resources provided by the Cambridge Tier2 system operated by the University of Cambridge Research\r\nComputing Service funded by EPSRC Tier-2 capital grant EP/\r\nP020259/1.","isi":1,"file_date_updated":"2023-07-12T10:22:04Z","keyword":["Colloid and Surface Chemistry","Biochemistry","General Chemistry","Catalysis"],"year":"2023","volume":145,"intvolume":" 145","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"13216","article_type":"original","citation":{"chicago":"Bunting, Rhys, Felix Wodaczek, Tina Torabi, and Bingqing Cheng. “Reactivity of Single-Atom Alloy Nanoparticles: Modeling the Dehydrogenation of Propane.” Journal of the American Chemical Society.
