NO和O2在Pt(110)面上吸附的TDS和PEEM研究

采用热脱附和光电子发射普微镜研究了Ｏ２和ＮＯ在Ｐｔ（１１０）面上的吸附和共吸附。结果表明，室温条件下，ＮＯ在Ｐｔ（１１０）面上有端式和桥式两种不同的吸附方式。Ｐｔ（１１０）表面预吸附的原子态氧占据了ＮＯ进入了桥式吸附的活性粒，从而阻遏了ＮＯ在Ｐｔ表面发生解离反应必须经过的桥式吸附中间态的形式，进而降低了ＮＯ在Ｐｔ表面直接分散的能力。     

Statistical inference for the nonparametric and semiparametric hidden Markov model via the composite likelihood approach

In this paper, we propose a new estimation method for a nonparametric hidden Markov model(HMM), in which both the emission model and the transition matrix are nonparametric, and a semiparametric HMM, in which the transition matrix is parametric while emission models are nonparametric. The estimation is based on a novel composite likelihood method, where the pairs of consecutive observations are treated as independent bivariate random variables. Therefore, the model is transformed into a mixture ...

Electronic Metal-Support Interaction-Modified Structures and Catalytic Activity of CeOx Overlayers in CeOx/Ag Inverse Catalysts

Electronic metal-support interactions (EMSIs) of oxide-supported metal catalysts strongly modifies the electronic structures of the supported metal nanoparticles. The strong influence of EMSIs on the electronic structures of oxide overlayers on metal nanoparticles employing cerium oxides/Ag inverse catalysts is reported herein. Ce₂O₃ overlayers were observed to exclusively form on Ag nanocrystals at low cerium loadings and be resistant to oxidation treatments up to 250 °C, whereas CeO₂ overlayers gradually developed as the cerium loading increased. Ag cubes enclosed by {001} facets with a smaller work function exert a stronger EMSI effect on the CeO_x overlayers than Ag cubes enclosed by {111} facets. Only the CeO₂ overlayers with a fully developed bulk CeO₂ electronic structure significantly promote the catalytic activity of Ag nanocrystals in CO oxidation, whereas cerium oxide overlayers with other electronic structures do not. These results successfully extend the concept of EMSIs from oxide-supported metal catalysts to metal-supported oxide catalysts.     

Electronic Oxide–Metal Strong Interaction (EOMSI)

Strong metal–support interaction of supported metal catalysts is an important concept to describe the effect of metal–support interactions on the structures and catalytic performances of supported metal particles. By using an example of CeO_x adlayers supported on Ag nanocrystals, herein a concept of electronic oxide–metal strong interaction (EOMSI) is put forward; this interaction significantly affects the electronic structures of oxide adlayers through metal-to-oxide charge transfer. The EOMSI can stabilize oxide adlayers in a low oxidation state under ambient conditions, which individually are not stable; moreover, the oxide adlayers experiencing the EOMSI are resistant to high-temperature oxidation in air to a certain extent. Such an EOMSI concept helps to generalize the strong influence of oxide–metal interactions on the structures and catalytic performance of oxide/metal inverse catalysts, which have been attracting increasing attention.

Size-dependent interaction of the poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) capping ligand with Pd nanocrystals

Pd nanocrystals were prepared by the reduction of a H(2)PdCl(4) aqueous solution with C(2)H(4) in the presence of different amounts of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP). Their average size decreases monotonically as the PVP monomer/Pd molar ratio increases up to 1.0 and then does not vary much at higher PVP monomer/Pd molar ratios. Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results reveal the interesting size-dependent interaction of PVP molecules with Pd nanocrystals. For fine Pd nanocrystals capped with a large number of PVP molecules, each PVP molecule chemisorbs with its oxygen atom in the ring; for large Pd nanocrystals capped by a small number of PVP molecules, each PVP molecule chemisorbs with both the oxygen atom and nitrogen atom in the ring, which obviously affects the structure of chemisorbed PVP molecules and even results in the breaking of involved C-N bonds of some chemisorbed PVP molecules. Charge transfer always occurs from a chemisorbed PVP ligand to Pd nanocrystals. These results provide novel insights into the PVP-metal nanocrystal interaction, which are of great importance in the fundamental understanding of surface-mediated properties of PVP-capped metal nanocrystals.
