DFT modeling of metallic nanoparticles
DFT modeling of metallic nanoparticles
This chapter introduces relevant theory and results obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations to metallic nanoparticles. We present basic aspects of DFT and more specific DFT methods used for metallic systems. We discuss how DFT calculations can be used to study metallic nanoparticles and present important results obtained in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Finally, we address some of the challenges and future developments needed for expanding the application of DFT calculations on metallic nanoparticles.
