摘要
Density functional theory is used to determine differences in hydrogen abstraction and ammonia binding energies between two zeolites (BEA and MFI-type) and two alpha-quartz surfaces doped with Al, B, Sc, or Ga. One of the questions we wanted to answer is whether the fact that zeolite cages are made of a silica monolayer plays any role in their catalytic activity. We find no important difference. Doped a-quartz has acid hydroxyls such as those in zeolites; however, their density is very low, and doped quartz is not a shape selective catalyst. Therefore, the doped silica examined here is an inferior acid catalyst when compared to BEA or MFI.
