THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE ADSORPTION OF OXYGEN ON SMALL BIMETALLIC K Cu (m, n ≤ 4 ANDm, n=1, 12) CLUSTERS

A theoretical study of the adsorption of molecular oxygen on small bimetallic KmCu n (m, n ≤ 4 and m, n=1,12) clusters was carried out using density functional methods, and compared with the adsorption of O2 on bimetallic Li mCu n (m, n ≤ 4) clusters. The study of the O2-KmCu n s...
