CO adsorption and desorption on size-selected Pd(n)/TiO2(110) model catalysts: size dependence of binding sites and energies, and support-mediated adsorption

The nature of CO adsorption on Pd(n)/TiO(2)(110) (n = 1, 2, 7, 20) has been examined using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), temperature-dependent helium ion scattering (TD-ISS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All samples contain the same number of Pd atoms (0.10 ML-equivalent) deposited as different size clusters. The TPD and TD-ISS show that CO binds in two types of sites associated with the Pd clusters. The most stable sites are on top of the Pd clusters ("on-top" sites), however, there are also less stable sites, in which CO is bound in association with, but not on top of the Pd ("peripheral" sites). For saturation CO coverage over a fixed atomic concentration of Pd (present in the form of Pd(n) clusters of varying size), the population of CO in peripheral sites decreases with increasing cluster size, while the on-top site population is size-independent. This is consistent with what geometric considerations would predict for the density of the two types of sites, provided the clusters adsorb predominantly as 2D islands, which ISS results suggest to be the case. The XPS analysis indicates that CO-Pd binding is dominated by π-backbonding to the Pd(n) clusters. The results also show evidence for efficient support-mediated adsorption (reverse-spillover) of CO initially impinging on TiO(2) to binding sites associated with the Pd clusters.

Nanostructured Pt functionlized multiwalled carbon nanotube based hydrogen sensor

Nanostructured Pt functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) produced by catalytic chemical vapor deposition are good room-temperature hydrogen sensors. MWNTs have been synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition of acetylene using a fixed-bed catalytic reactor over hydrides of Mm(0.2)Tb(0.8)CO2 obtained through hydrogen decrepitation technique. Purified and chemically treated MWNTs have been functionalized by Pt resulting in nanostructured dispersion of Pt on CNTs. Structural, morphological, and vibrational characterizations have been carried out using XRD, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, Raman spectroscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy, respectively. Dispersion of Pt on MWNTs was confirmed by elemental analysis using EDX. Systematic investigations of hydrogen sensing properties of Pt-MWNT ensembles have been carried out. The Pt-MWNTs thin films are stable after several cycles of adsorption and desorption. The change in electrical resistance due to hydrogen adsorption is reversible, with increases to saturation on exposure to hydrogen gas. The result demonstrates that the Pt-MWNTs are p-type semiconductor materials, and chemically treated MWNTs functionalized with Pt show the better hydrogen sensing response at room temperature.     

Adsorption and co-adsorption of ethylene and carbon monoxide on silica-supported monodisperse Pt nanoparticles: volumetric adsorption and infrared spectroscopy studies

The adsorption of carbon monoxide and ethylene, and their sequential adsorption, was studied over a series of Pt/SBA-15 catalysts with monodisperse particle sizes ranging from 1.7 to 7.1 nm by diffuse-reflectance infrared spectroscopy and chemisorption. Gas adsorption was dependent on the Pt particle size, temperature, and sequence of gas exposure. Adsorption of CO at room temperature on Pt/SBA-15 gives rise to a spectroscopic feature assigned to the C-O stretch: nu(CO) = 2075 cm-1 (1.9 nm); 2079 cm-1 (2.9 nm); 2082 cm-1 (3.6 nm); and 2090 cm-1 (7.1 nm). The intensity of the signal decreased in a sigmoidal fashion with increasing temperature, thereby providing semiquantitative surface coverage information. Adsorption of ethylene on Pt/SBA-15 gave rise to spectroscopic features at approximately 1340, approximately 1420, and approximately 1500 cm-1 assigned to ethylidyne, di-sigma-bonded ethylene, and pi-bonded ethylene, respectively. The ratio of these surface species is highly dependent on the Pt particle size. At room temperature, Pt particles stabilize ethylidyne as well as di-sigma- and pi-bonded ethylene; however, ethylidyne predominated on the surfaces of larger particles. Ethylidyne was the only identifiable species at 403 K, with its formation being more facile on larger particles. Co-adsorption experiments reveal that the composition of the surface layer is dependent on the order of exposure to gases. Exposure of a C2H4-covered Pt surface to CO resulted in an approximately 50% decrease in chemisorbed CO compared to a fresh Pt surface. The nu(CO) appeared at 2050 cm-1 on Pt/SBA-15 pretreated with C2H4 at room temperature. The di-sigma-bonded and pi-bonded species are the most susceptible to displacement from the surface by CO. The formation of ethylidyne appeared to be less sensitive to the presence of adsorbed carbon monoxide, especially on larger particles. Upon exposure of C2H4 to a CO-covered Pt surface, little irreversible uptake occurred due to nearly 100% site blocking. These results demonstrate that carbon monoxide competes directly with ethylene for surface sites, which will have direct implications on the poisoning of the heterogeneously catalyzed conversion of hydrocarbons.     

Adsorption of Carbon Monoxide on Platinized Platinum Electrode with Preadsorbed Iodine and Iodide Anions

Adsorption of carbon monoxide in the presence of adlayers formed upon exposure of Pt/Pt to I^– anions and I₂ (0.5 M ₂SO₄ as the supporting electrolyte) is studied using the method of electrode washing. Transients of current and potentiodynamic curves show that the displacement of iodine adatoms from the Pt/Pt surface by CO is virtually complete when CO is adsorbed in the range of hydrogen adsorption potentials (E 0.35 V (RHE)) and incomplete at higher potentials. It is concluded that the bond formed by iodine adatoms with the surface strengthens with an increase in the potential. Possible reasons for the striking difference in the behavior of adatomic monolayers formed from KI and I₂ solutions is discussed. The surface charge of Pt/Pt is observed to drastically change as a result of the displacement of iodine adatoms by carbon monoxide.     

Microkinetic modeling of CO TPD spectra using coverage dependent microcalorimetric heats of adsorption

CO adsorption on the ternary methanol synthesis Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst was studied in detail by means of adsorption microcalorimetry and flow temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). Based on these experimental data, we established a microkinetic analysis method, which provides information about the adsorption kinetics of CO on the catalyst surface. Experimentally derived microcalorimetric heats of adsorption were applied in a microkinetic model to simulate TPD curves with varying initial coverage. Two approaches were used: an integral approach based on evaluation of the integral heats of adsorption which predicts the experimental TPD curves roughly and provides first approximations for the preexponential factors. The second, more detailed approach was based on the simulation of the adsorption isotherm taking the experimentally determined coverage-dependence of the heat of adsorption into account. This approach led to a significantly improved agreement between experimental and simulated TPD curves. Moreover, it was possible to derive the standard entropy of adsorption. The general applicability of our approaches is demonstrated by analyzing the CO TPD and microcalorimetry data obtained with a binary ZnO-free Cu/Al2O3 catalyst.     

1-(1-Naphthyl)ethylamine adsorption on platinum surfaces: on the mechanism of chiral modification in catalysis

The adsorption of 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine (NEA) on platinum surfaces has been characterized by reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) both under ultrahigh vacuum and in situ from liquid solutions. The main focus of this study was to identify the mechanism by which single enantiomers of NEA bestow chirality on the platinum surface. Evidence was acquired for both of the prevailing explanations available in the literature for the NEA behavior: formation of supramolecular chiral templates and complexation of individual modifiers with the reactant. Indeed, TPD titrations of NEA-modified Pt(111) using propylene oxide (PO) as a chiral probe point to a relative enhancement in the adsorption of one enantiomer over the other at intermediate NEA coverages, which is the behavior expected from the templating mechanism. However, a difference in adsorption energetics was also observed. Both the TPD and RAIRS data suggest possible interactions between the adsorbed NEA and adjacent PO that differ according to the relative chirality of the two compounds. The NEA uptake from solution displays additional enantioselectivity, in particular when the adsorption of enantiopure compounds is compared with that of racemic mixtures, and also points to possible adsorption changes induced by ethyl pyruvate, a common reactant in chiral hydrogenation processes.     

Ag on Pt(111): Changes in Electronic and CO Adsorption Properties upon PtAg/Pt(111) Monolayer Surface Alloy Formation

The electronic and chemical (adsorption) properties of bimetallic Ag/Pt(111) surfaces and their modification upon surface alloy formation, that is, during intermixing of Ag and Pt atoms in the top atomic layer upon annealing, were studied by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and, using CO as probe molecule, by temperature‐programmed desorption (TPD) and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), respectively. The surface alloys are prepared by deposition of sub‐monolayer Ag amounts on a Pt(111) surface at room temperature, leading to extended Ag monolayer islands on the substrate, and subsequent annealing of these surfaces. Surface alloy formation starts at ≈600–650 K, which is evidenced by core‐level shifts (CLSs) of the Ag(3d_5/2) signal. A distinct change of the CO adsorption properties is observed when going to the intermixed PtAg surface alloys. Most prominently, we find the growth of a new desorption feature at higher temperature (≈550 K) in the TPD spectra upon surface alloy formation. This goes along with a shift of the CO_ad‐related IR bands to lower wave number. Surface alloy formation is almost completed after heating to 700 K.     

Effect of O2 on the adsorption of SO2 on carbon-supported Pt electrocatalysts

Adsorption of SO(2) in the presence of O(2) on Pt/C catalysts often used as electrocatalysts has been investigated by temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The amounts of SO(2) adsorption on Pt/C in the presence of O(2) were much higher than those in the absence of O(2) (SO(2)-N(2)) and from the carbon support (Vulcan XC-72) alone. Adsorption is dependent on oxygen concentration over the range 0-20% but reaches saturation at 20% O(2). The spillover of SO(2) from Pt to the carbon support has been proposed for 10, 20, and 40% Pt loadings, characterized by desorption temperatures of approximately 150 and 260 °C for SO(2) adsorbed on Pt and carbon, respectively. Adsorbed Pt-S, C-S, C-SO(x), and Pt-SO(4) species were identified by XPS as S-containing species on both Pt and carbon. Both TPD and XPS indicate that the carbon support plays a major role in SO(2) adsorption, primarily as SO(x) (x = 3, 4). The bonding of S and SO(x) on the carbon support was strong enough that back diffusion to the Pt surface did not occur.     

Estimation of adsorption parameters from temperature-programmed-desorption thermograms: application to the adsorption of carbon dioxide onto Na- and H-mordenite

In this work, a model is proposed for the estimation of the adsorption parameters from TPD thermograms when the adsorption cell can be modeled as a well-mixed reactor, evaluating the adsorption and desorption rate constants from statistical thermodynamics. The estimation procedure consists of fitting the model to the experimental TPD thermograms using numerical methods. The study of the effect of readsorption in this system reveals that this effect must be taken into account in most cases. Only with high activation energies of adsorption may this effect be negligible. The model is used to estimate the adsorption parameters of the systems CO(2)-Na-mordenite and CO(2)-H-mordenite, including an analysis about the degrees of freedom of the adsorbed phase. The estimated values of the adsorption enthalpy have been compared with the ones obtained from adsorption equilibrium data.     

A concise representation of adsorbate-surface interactions. II. An application to Pt(111) + Co,W(110) + Co and Pt(112) + Co systems

A method is presented to represent the chemisorptive interactions concisely. The canonical molecular orbitals of a chemisorption system are transformed into new orbitals where the charge transfer interactions between the surface and the adsorbate are maximized or minimized. The chemisorptive bonds are well described by a small number of the transformed orbitals. The analysis of chemisorptive interactions is carried out for the Pt(111) + CO, W(110) + CO and Pt(112) + CO systems. The weakening of the C-O bond in the W(110) face and in the trench region of the Pt(112) face is larger than that in the Pt(111) face in conformity with the experimental data. The interactions are, to a good approximation, represented by five or six orbitals and are explained in terms of the and donation of CO to the surface and the back donation to CO.     

Adsorption and reaction of 1-epoxy-3-butene on Pt(111): implications for heterogeneous catalysis of unsaturated oxygenates

High-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to study the adsorption and reaction of 1-epoxy-3-butene (EpB) on Pt(111). These investigations were conducted to help elucidate mechanisms for improving olefin hydrogenation selectivity in reactions of unsaturated oxygenates. EpB dosed to Pt(111) at 91 K adsorbs molecularly on the surface through the vinyl group with apparent rehybridization to a di-sigma-bound state. By 233 K, however, EpB undergoes epoxide ring opening to form an aldehyde intermediate, which further decomposes upon heating to yield gas phase products CO, H2, and propylene. Comparison of the HREELS and TPD data to experiments performed with 2-butenal (crotonaldehyde) shows that EpB and 2-butenal decompose through related pathways. However, the EpB-derived aldehyde intermediate clearly has a unique structure, features of which have been elucidated by DFT calculations. In conjunction with previous surface science studies of EpB chemistry, these results can help explain selectivity trends for reactions of EpB on Pt catalysts and bimetallic PtAg catalysts, with indications that the enhanced olefin hydrogenation selectivity of PtAg catalysts likely originates from a bifunctional effect.     

A site-selective in situ study of CO adsorption and desorption on Pt(355)

Using time-dependent high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at BESSY II, the adsorption and desorption processes of CO on stepped Pt(355) = Pt[5(111) x (111)] were investigated. From a quantitative analysis of C 1s data, the distribution of CO on the various adsorption sites can be determined continuously during adsorption and desorption. These unique data show that the terrace sites are only occupied when the step sites are almost saturated, even at temperatures as low as 130 K. The coverage-dependent occupation of on-top and bridge adsorption sites on the (111) terraces of Pt(355) is found to differ from that on Pt(111), which is attributed to the finite width of the terraces and changes in adsorbate-adsorbate interactions. In particular, no long-range order of the adsorbate layer could be observed by low-energy electron diffraction. Further details are derived from sticking coefficient measurements using the method devised by King and Wells [Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. A 339, 245 (1974)] and temperature-programmed desorption. The CO saturation coverage is found to be slightly smaller on the stepped surface as compared to that on Pt(111). The initial sticking coefficient has the same high value of 0.91 for both surfaces.

Accurate determination of the CO coverage at saturation on a cyanide-modified Pt(1 1 1) electrode in cyanide-free 0.5 M H2SO4

We have used the CO charge-displacement method, in combination with a thermodynamic cycle, to obtain the double-layer correction necessary to determine accurately, using the charge in the corresponding CO-stripping voltammograms, the maximum amount of CO that can adsorb on a cyanide-modified Pt(1 1 1) electrode. The resulting CO coverage at saturation is θ_CO=0.25, and corresponds to a mixed CN–CO adlayer where some Pt atoms are still free and consequently can adsorb hydrogen. The hydrogen adsorption charge for the mixed adlayer, obtained from the corresponding cyclic voltammogram, agrees very well with that estimated from the CO and CN coverages, assuming that one hydrogen atom adsorbs on every free Pt atom. Taking into account these data, we propose a structural model for the mixed CN–CO adlayer on Pt(1 1 1).

Adsorption of CO on various M@Pt core–shell nanoparticles: Surface-enhanced infrared absorption and DFT studies

Addition of some other metals to platinum causes significant increase of its catalytic activity towards ethanol electrochemical oxidation. This may be caused by different adsorption of CO molecules on the surface of the catalyst, and hence different resistance of the M@Pt nanostructures to poisoning by CO. In this work we attempt to verify this hypothesis analyzing vibrational spectra of CO adsorbed on various metal nanoparticles. Au@Pt nanoparticles revealing significantly higher catalytic activity towards ethanol oxidation than one-element Pt nanoparticles have been synthesized. Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectra of CO adsorbed on Au@Pt and Pt nanoparticles have been measured. Obtained spectra were very similar, which suggests that the higher catalytic activity of Au@Pt nanoparticles is rather not caused by different adsorption of CO molecules on Pt and Au@Pt nanoparticles. We suppose that better performance of core–shell M@Pt nanoparticles than one elements Pt nanoparticles towards ethanol electrochemical oxidation can be explained as follows: core–shell nanoparticles are probably much more defected than one-element nanoparticles, hence the M@Pt nanoparticles posses greater number of active sites (kinks, adatoms, and so on) for ethanol electrochemical oxidation. Analysis of the catalytic activity and CO adsorption have been also carried out for other nanoparticles including: Sn@Pt, Pb@Pt, Pd, Au@Pd, Sn@Pd and Pb@Pd. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of CO modes for CO adsorbed on tetrahedral Pt₁₀ or Pd₁₀ clusters with different metal–metal distance have been also performed.     

Adsorption and reaction of methanol on stoichiometric and defective SrTiO3(100) surfaces

The adsorption and reaction of methanol (CH(3)OH) on stoichiometric (TiO(2)-terminated) and reduced SrTiO(3)(100) surfaces have been investigated using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and first-principles density-functional calculations. Methanol adsorbs mostly nondissociatively on the stoichiometric SrTiO(3)(100) surface that contains predominately Ti(4+) cations. Desorption of a monolayer methanol from the stoichiometric surface is observed at approximately 250 K, whereas desorption of a multilayer methanol is found to occur at approximately 140 K. Theoretical calculations predict weak adsorption of methanol on TiO(2)-terminated SrTiO(3)(100) surfaces, in agreement with the experimental results. However, the reduced SrTiO(3)(100) surface containing Ti(3+) cations exhibits higher reactivity toward adsorbed methanol, and H(2), CH(4), and CO are the major decomposition products. The surface defects on the reduced SrTiO(3)(100) surface are partially reoxidized upon saturation exposure of CH(3)OH onto this surface at 300 K.     

The interaction of CO with PdAg/Pd(111) surface alloys--a case study of ensemble effects on a bimetallic surface

The interaction of CO with structurally well-defined PdAg/Pd(111) surface alloys was investigated by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) to unravel and understand contributions from electronic strain, electronic ligand and geometric ensemble effects. TPD measurements indicate that CO adsorption is not possible on the Ag sites of the surface alloys (at 120 K) and that the CO binding strength on Pd sites decreases significantly with increasing Ag concentration. Comparison with previous scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) data on the distribution of Pd and Ag atoms in the surface alloy shows that this modification is mainly due to geometric ensemble effects, since Pd(3) ensembles, which are the preferred ensembles for CO adsorption on non-modified Pd(111), are no longer available on Ag-rich surfaces. Consequently, the preferred CO adsorption site changes with increasing Ag content from a Pd(3) trimer via a Pd(2) dimer to a Pd monomer, going along with a successive weakening of CO adsorption. Additionally, the CO adsorption properties of the surface alloys are also influenced by electronic ligand and strain effects, but on a lower scale. The results are discussed in comparison with previous findings on PdAg bulk alloys, supported PdAg catalysts and PdAu/Pd(111) model systems.     

Systematic DFT-GGA study of hydrogen adsorption on transition metals

Computational study of hydrogen adsorption on (111) surface of transition metals with face centered cubic (fcc) lattice is reported and the results are compared with available experimental and theoretical data. In addition, dissociative adsorption of hydrogen on Pt(111), Pt(100) and Pt(110) is studied in the range of coverage from 0.25 to 1 monolayer. In the case of Pt(111) preferential adsorption site was found to be three-coordinated fcc-hollow site, while on Pt(100) and Pt(110) surface hydrogen settles on two-coordinated bridge and short bridge site, respectively. Hydrogen adsorption energy was found to decrease with the increasing coverage. Structural changes of studied Pt surfaces upon hydrogen adsorption have been compared with the experimental data existing in the literature and good qualitative agreement has been obtained.
