Abstract: The kinetic parameters of water gas shift reaction catalyzed by Cu(111) and Cu(110) were calculated by means of BOC-MP empirical method, and then its mechanism was simulated by Monte Carlo method. The different apparent activation energies(in relativity) were found for Cu(111) and Cu(110) surfaces(i.e . 1.61 and 1.0 kJ/mol, similar to the experiment data). This result indicates that the water gas shift reaction is a structure sensitive reaction.
