Modeling the Metal-Solution Interface under Ultrahigh Vacuum: Vibrational Studies of the Coadsorption of Water and Carbon Monoxide on Rh(100)
نویسنده
چکیده
The coadsorption of D2O and CO on Rh(100) under ultrahigh vacuum has been investigated by using infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. The results show that the presence of D2O induces partial displacement of the CO molecules from linear to bridged configurations. The resulting spectra are very similar to those observed at equivalent CO coverages in an electrochemical environment. The spectral data indicate that the coadsorption of DzO and CO results in the formation of CO islands of varying coverage and the aggregation of both CO and D20 islands on Rh(100) at temperatures below D2O desorption.

Coadsorption of Dioxygen and Carbon Monoxide on a Mg(100) Surface
The activation of carbon monoxide by oxygen on Mg(100) surface has been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Carbon monoxide is only weakly adsorbed (dispersion-type forces) on a magnesium surface. The XPS result has shown that the dissociation of carbon monoxide leading to the formation of a metastable surface carbonate species occurs through the participation of an oxyg...
متن کاملWater and CO (co-)adsorption on pseudomorphic Pt films on Ru(0001) - a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy study.
Coadsorption of CO and water under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions can be considered as a model system for the interaction of metal surfaces with CO in an aqueous electrochemical environment. Nevertheless, this has rarely been investigated, and in particular for catalytically relevant bimetallic systems, there is hardly any information available. Here we report results of a low-temperature sc...
متن کاملCO oxidation on ruthenium: The nature of the active catalytic surface
The oxidation of CO, i.e. CO + =2O2 ! CO2, over metal surfaces is one of the most studied catalytic reactions. The details of the reaction mechanism under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions have been well understood for some time [1]. Under reducing or mildly oxidizing conditions for Pt, Pd, and Rh, metals used in automotive catalytic converters, the reaction proceeds via the Langmuir–Hinshelwoo...
متن کاملIn-Situ Vibrational Spectroscopic Studies on Model Catalyst Surfaces at Elevated Pressures
Elucidation of complex heterogeneous catalytic mechanisms at the molecular level is a challenging task due to the complex electronic structure and the topology of catalyst surfaces. Heterogeneous catalyst surfaces are often quite dynamic and readily undergo significant alterations under working conditions. Thus, monitoring the surface chemistry of heterogeneous catalysts under industrially rele...

Cobalt oxide catalysts supported on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide were prepared by an impregnation-ultrasound method. These catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, TEM, XRD, Raman, and H2-TPR methods. The XRD and Raman results indicated that the phase of the synthesized cobalt...
