The water–gas shift (WGS) reaction on a Pd/MgO(100) catalyst surface was studied using the tight binding-quantum chemical molecular dynamics (TB-QCMD) method. Molecular adsorption of CO was observed. In contrast, we observed that H2O adsorption occurs first molecularly but the molecule then dissociates on the surface. The resultant hydroxyl group reacts with preadsorbed CO to form an OCOH intermediate and a single H atom. This process is relevant as the initial hydroxylation step, and it is part of the catalyzed hydrolysis mechanism. During the molecular dynamics simulation the OCOH intermediate inverted into an H–CO2 like molecule and finally HCO2 decomposed to CO2 and H. Later on, the resultant H interacts with the previously dissociated single H atom (H released from the H–OH dissociation) and forms the WGS product H–H molecule. It was observed that the CO2 desorbed from the supported Pd cluster while the H2 molecule remains attached to the Pd cluster during the simulation. The geometries and dissociat...
