Abstract: The NO+CO reaction mechanism on the Rh(111) surface were studied by the plane-wave density functional theory(DFT) with CASTEP program. The main elementary steps are taken into account, namely: NO dissociation,CO2 and N2 production, through the formation of the N2O intermediary species, and the classical N+N recombination.The transition states were confirmed for the main elementary steps by successful transition state search, and the activation energy were calculated, respectively.

Key words: Density functional theory, NO+CO reaction, Rh(111) surface, Surface reaction mechanism, Transition state
