摘　　要：Surface structures and electronic properties of hypophosphite H2PO2^- on Ni（111） and Ag（111） surfaces were investigated by means of density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31 ＋ ＋G（d,p） level. The most stable structure was that in which the H2PO2^- adsorbs with its two P--O bonds faced to the substrate surface. The results of the Mulliken population analysis showed that because of the subtle difference of electron configuration, the adsorption energy was larger on the Ni surface than on the Ag surface, and the amounts of both donation and back donation were larger on the Ni（111） surface than on the Ag（111） surface. There were more negative Mulliken charge transfer from H2PO2^- to substrate clusters on Ni surface than on Ag surface and more positive Mulliken charges on P atom in Ni4H2PO2^- than in Ag4H2PO2^-, which means that P atom in Ni4H2PO2^- is easily attacked by a nucleophile such as OH . Thus, H2PO2^- is more easily oxidated on Ni（111） surface than on Ag（111） suface. These results indicated that the silver surface is inactive for the oxidation reaction of the hypophosphite anion.Surface structures and electronic properties of hypophosphite H2PO2^- on Ni（111） and Ag（111） surfaces were investigated by means of density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31 ＋ ＋G（d,p） level.
