The STM feature associated with a CO 2 molecule at an oxygen vacancy (VO) becomes increasingly streaky with increasing temperature, indicating thermally activated CO 2 diffusion from the VO site. From temperaturedependent tunneling current measurements, the barrier for diffusion of CO 2 from the VO site is estimated to be 3.31 ± 0.23 kcal/mol. The corresponding value from the DFT calculations is 3.80 kcal/mol. In addition, the DFT calculations give a barrier for diffusion of CO 2 along Ti rows of only 1.33 kcal/mol. © 2011 American Chemical Society. date: 2011-12-15 date_type: published publication: Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters volume: 2 number: 24 pagerange: 3114 - 3117 refereed: TRUE id_number: 10.1021/jz201339n citation: Lee, J and Sorescu, DC and Deng, X and Jordan, KD (2011) Diffusion of CO 2 on the rutile TiO 2(110) surface.
