Warning! Note that elemental potentials taken from alloy descriptions may not work well for the pure species. This is particularly true if the elements were fit for compounds instead of being optimized separately. As with all interatomic potentials, please check to make sure that the performance is adequate for your problem.

Abstract: A new high-precision angular-dependent potential of the Ni-Pd system was obtained by fitting the experimental data and first-principles calculations. Then, the element segregation characteristics and thermal stability of Ni-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles were investigated by Monte Carlo method and molecular dynamics method. The results show that the chemical ordering pattern of PdxNi1-x nanoparticle is the result of the competition of surface energy, strain energy, bond energy and interface energy. When a small amount of Pd atoms are substitutionally doped into the Ni nanoparticle, all the Pd atoms will be segregated on the surface and dispersed. The synergistic effect of Ni atoms and Pd atoms in the surface will improve the catalytic activity and carbon deposition resistance of PdxNi1-x nanoparticle catalyst in methane dry reforming reaction. Increasing the doping amount of Pd atoms will gradually reduce the melting point of PdxNi1-x nanoparticle, thereby reducing its sintering resistance.
