The density functional theory was employed to investigate the adsorption of Nin (n = 1-4) on the perfect and O-defect CuAl_2O_4 surfaces. The computational results show that for single Ni atom on the perfect spinel (100) surface, the adsorption energy is-5.30 eV, much larger than Ni on other CuAl_2O_4 surfaces. The adsorption of Ni_n (n = 1-4) absorbed on the O-defect CuAl_2O_4 (100) surface is less stable than on the perfect CuAl_2O_4 (100) surface. However, the adsorption energy for Nin (n = 1-4) on the O-defect CuAl_2O_4 (110) surface is close to on the perfect CuAl_2O_4 (110) surface. Bader charge and partial density of states (PDOS) analysis revel that the adsorption of Ni on the CuAl_2O_4 spinel surface is accompanied by charge transfer from the metal to the support. The growth and aggregations analysis show that the general growth and aggregation ability for Nin clusters follow the order: gas phase > γ-Al_2O_3 (110) > CuAl_2O_4 (110) > CuAl_2O_4 (100). This result can give reasonable explanations for the experimental phenomenon that Ni supported on the CuAl_2O_4 spinel performs much better stability than on the γ-Al_2O_3.
