Experimental and theoretical study of reactivity trends for methanol on Co/Pt(111) and Ni/Pt(111) bimetallic surfaces

Methanol was used as a probe molecule to examine the reforming activity of oxygenates on NiPt(111) and CoPt(111) bimetallic surfaces, utilizing density functional theory (DFT) modeling, temperature-programmed desorption, and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). DFT results revealed a correlation between the methanol and methoxy binding energies and the surface d-band center of various NiPt(111) and CoPt(111) bimetallic surfaces. Consistent with DFT predictions, increased production of H2 and CO from methanol was observed on a Ni surface monolayer on Pt(111), designated as Ni-Pt-Pt(111), as compared to the subsurface monolayer Pt-Ni-Pt(111) surface. HREELS was used to verify the presence and subsequent decomposition of methoxy intermediates on NiPt(111) and CoPt(111) bimetallic surfaces. On Ni-Pt-Pt(111) the methoxy species decomposed to a formaldehyde intermediate below 300 K; this species reacted at approximately 300 K to form CO and H2. On Co-Pt-Pt(111), methoxy was stable up to approximately 350 K and decomposed to form CO and H2. Overall, trends in methanol reactivity on NiPt(111) bimetallic surfaces were similar to those previously determined for ethanol and ethylene glycol.     

CO and methanol adsorption on (2 × 1)Pt(110) and ion‐eroded Pt(111) model catalysts

Methanol adsorption on ion‐sputtered Pt(111) surface exhibiting high concentration of vacancy islands and on (2 × 1)Pt(110) single crystal were investigated by means of photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and thermal desorption spectroscopy. The measurements showed that methanol adsorbed at low temperature on sputtered Pt(111) and on (2 × 1)Pt(110) surfaces decomposed upon heating. The PES data of methanol adsorption were compared to the data of CO adsorbed on the same Pt single crystal surfaces. In the case of the sputtered Pt(111) surface, the dehydrogenation of H_xCO intermediates is followed by the CO bond breakage. On the (2 × 1)Pt(110) surface, carbon monoxide, as product of methanol decomposition, desorbed molecularly without appearance of any traces of atomic carbon. By comparing both platinum surfaces we conclude that methanol decomposition occurs at higher temperature on sputtered Pt(111) than on (2 × 1)Pt(110). Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

FTIR study of CO adsorption on Rh/MgO modified with Co, Ni, Fe, or CeO2 for the catalytic partial oxidation of methane

The surface state of Rh/MgO catalysts modified with Co, Ni, Fe, or CeO(2) after the reduction and partial oxidation pretreatments as well as during the catalytic partial oxidation of methane has been investigated by FTIR of adsorbed CO. The results of CO adsorption on the reduced catalysts suggest the formation of Rh-M alloy on Rh-M/MgO (M = Co, Ni, Fe) and Rh particles partially covered with reduced ceria on Rh-CeO(2)/MgO. The strength of CO adsorption on Rh/MgO is weakened by the modification with Co, Ni, Fe, or CeO(2). Partial oxidation pretreatment of Rh/MgO leads to a significant decrease in the CO adsorption due to the oxidation of Rh. In contrast, on partially oxidized Rh-M/MgO (M = Co, Ni, Fe) and Rh-CeO(2)/MgO, the preferential oxidation of the surface M atoms or reduced ceria maintains the metallic Rh and preserves the CO adsorbed on the surface Rh atoms. The CO adsorption during the reaction of catalytic partial oxidation of methane on Rh/MgO and Rh-Ni/MgO is similar to that on the reduced catalysts. On the other hand, the CO adsorption during the reaction on Rh-Co/MgO, Rh-Fe/MgO, and Rh-CeO(2)/MgO is different from that on the reduced catalysts, and this is related to the structural change of these catalysts during the reaction.     

Interfacial oxidation of ultrathin nickel and chromium films on yttria-stabilized zirconia

The substrate-induced oxidation upon prolonged annealing in UHV of ultrathin films of Ni and Cr vapor deposited on yttria-stabilized zirconia YSZ(100) was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to obtain information about the oxidation mechanism, determine the available quantity of reactive oxygen in YSZ, and investigate the thermal stability of the thin oxide films. Up to about 0.8 ML of Ni deposited at room temperature was oxidized to NiO at a constant rate at 650 K via the substrate, whereas at slightly higher coverage, the oxidation rate under identical conditions was drastically reduced. In contrast to Ni, up to 4.8 ML of Cr deposited at 275 K could be oxidized via the substrate to Cr2O3 upon extensive UHV annealing at increasing temperature up to 820 K, indicating a reactive oxygen content of at least 4 x 10(-6) with respect to the lattice oxygen in the YSZ specimen. The Cr2O3 decomposed to metallic Cr above about 800 K, whereas NiO was stable up to the maximum temperature of 875 K. These results indicate that the oxidation via the substrate is kinetically analogous to the gas-phase oxidation of bulk Ni and Cr. The reactive oxygen content of the single-crystal YSZ is larger than expected, and part of it is accommodated at the surface of the substrate. The thermal stability of the thin oxide films is determined by the oxygen exchange with YSZ and not by the respective bulk oxide thermodynamic decomposition temperature.     

Mo助剂对Rh／SiO_2催化剂上甲醇吸附性能的影响

用原位红外光谱和程序升温还原技术考察了甲醇在Ｒｈ－Ｍｏ／ＳｉＯ入催化剂上的吸附和还原性能．红外结果表明，甲醇在ＳｉＯ２上主要以分子形式吸附．Ｒｈ／ＳｉＯ２和Ｒｈ－Ｍｏ／ＳｉＯ２在室温下对甲醇分解就有活性，分解生成的ＣＯ以线式和桥式吸附态存在．在５７３Ｋ下用甲醇处理后，Ｒｈ／ＳｉＯ２上ＣＯ线式和桥式谱带分别位于２０５０和１９０７ｃｍ－１，而Ｒｈ－Ｍｏ（１：１）／ＳｉＯ２上线式ＣＯ位于２０３６ｃｍ－１，桥式ＣＯ强度很弱．Ｍｏ的添加有可能覆盖部分Ｒｈ金属表面的吸附中心，从而降低ＣＯ吸附谱带的强度，同时使桥式ＣＯ的形成变得困难．随Ｍｏ助剂量的增加，Ｒｈ的还原温度升高，而Ｍｏ的还原温度降低．由此推断，Ｒｈ～Ｍｏ／ＳｉＯ２催化剂上的Ｒｈ可能有三种存在形式：氯化物、低温还原氧化物和高温还原氧化物．

A HREELS study of the adsorption of formic acid on slightly oxidized Nb(110) surface

An investigation has been made on the adsorption and decomposition of formic acid on slightly oxidized Nb(110) surface (0/Nb atom ratio = 0.2) using high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS),and a corresponding surface reaction mode is given.At 140 K,formic acid of low exposure on such an Nb(110) surface decomposed to formate,which bonded on Nb in monodentate configuration,simultaneously some formate decomposed to CO,which adsorbed on the surface.Formic acid multilayers formed when the exposure was high.While the temperature was increased to above 190 K,multilayer formic acid desorbed,and the surface was covered with mon-odentate-bonded formate and CO.In the temperature range of 250-300 K,chemisorbed formate changed from monodentate configuration into bridging configuration and CO molecules disappeared.The decomposition of formate at higher temperatures led to the oxidation of Nb.The formate formed in the high exposure case was so stable that it did not decompose even the temperature wa     

CO oxidation on inverse CeO(x)/Cu(111) catalysts: high catalytic activity and ceria-promoted dissociation of O2

A Cu(111) surface displays a low activity for the oxidation of carbon monoxide (2CO + O(2) → 2CO(2)). Depending on the temperature, background pressure of O(2), and the exposure time, one can get chemisorbed O on Cu(111) or a layer of Cu(2)O that may be deficient in oxygen. The addition of ceria nanoparticles (NPs) to Cu(111) substantially enhances interactions with the O(2) molecule and facilitates the oxidation of the copper substrate. In images of scanning tunneling microscopy, ceria NPs exhibit two overlapping honeycomb-type moire? structures, with the larger ones (H(1)) having a periodicity of 4.2 nm and the smaller ones (H(2)) having a periodicity of 1.20 nm. After annealing CeO(2)/Cu(111) in O(2) at elevated temperatures (600-700 K), a new phase of a Cu(2)O(1+x) surface oxide appears and propagates from the ceria NPs. The ceria is not only active for O(2) dissociation, but provides a much faster channel for oxidation than the step edges of Cu(111). Exposure to CO at 550-750 K led to a partial reduction of the ceria NPs and the removal of the copper oxide layer. The CeO(x)/Cu(111) systems have activities for the 2CO + O(2) → 2CO(2) reaction that are comparable or larger than those reported for surfaces of expensive noble metals such as Rh(111), Pd(110), and Pt(100). Density-functional calculations show that the supported ceria NPs are able to catalyze the oxidation of CO due to their special electronic and chemical properties. The configuration of the inverse oxide/metal catalyst opens new interesting routes for applications in catalysis.     

Effect of co-adsorbed CO and reaction temperature on the dynamics of N2 desorption under steady-state N2O-CO reaction on Rh(110)

We have investigated the effect of co-absorbed CO and reaction temperature on the angular distribution of N(2) desorption by N(2)O decomposition under the steady state of N(2)O-CO reaction on Rh(110). Spatial distributions of desorbing product N(2) emission have been measured at various surface temperatures and CO coverages. The decomposed N(2) collimates at 48°-61° off normal in the parallel plane to [001] and [110] directions, indicating that adsorbed N(2)O just before the decomposition is oriented along the [001] direction. Although the inclined and collimated N(2) desorption is always observed at any steady-state CO coverage and reaction temperature, the shape of the collimated N(2) distribution varied dependent on the co-adsorbed CO coverage. The distribution becomes sharp and shifts toward the surface normal direction with increasing CO coverage. These effects of adsorbed CO on the angular distribution of N(2) are interpreted by the collision of desorbed N(2) with co-adsorbed CO.

In situ studies of methanol decomposition and oxidation on Pd(111) by PM-IRAS and XPS spectroscopy

Methanol decomposition and oxidation on Pd(111) at millibar pressure were studied by in situ polarization-modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRAS), on-line gas chromatography and pre- and postreaction X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Various dehydrogenation products such as methoxy CH3O, formaldehyde CH2O, formyl CHO, and CO could be spectroscopically identified. Methanol oxidation proceeds via dehydrogenation to formaldehyde CH2O, which either desorbs or is further dehydrogenated to CO, which is subsequently oxidized to CO2. Carbonaceous overlayers that are present during the reaction may favorably affect the selectivity toward CH2O. The reaction takes place on metallic Pd, and no indications of an involvement of Pd surface oxide were observed.

Influence of reduction conditions on H2 adsorption in high-surface Rh/CeO2 catalysts as deduced by volumetry, calorimetry, and 1H NMR techniques

1H NMR spectra corresponding to H2 adsorption on high-surface Rh/CeO2 catalysts (S(BET) approximately 55 m2/g) are formed by two lines, attributed to hydrogen adsorbed on ceria (resonance line A) and rhodium-metal particles (upfield-shifted line B). The evolution of 1H NMR spectra as a function of temperature, time, and type of reduction (static or dynamic) allows the study of the progressive establishment of the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) in Rh/CeO2 catalysts. As the reduction progresses, the mean adsorption heat and the amount of hydrogen adsorbed on the metal, deduced from volumetry, NMR, and calorimetry techniques, decrease considerably. As a consequence of the decrease in metal activity, the amount of hydrogen transferred to the support CeO2 is also reduced (spill-over processes). Outgassing of samples at 773 K eliminates hydrogen species retained at the metal-support surface, and oxidation treatments at 473 and 673 K eliminate the electronic effect and physical blocking of metal particles. The oxidation at 673 K recuperates the total adsorption capacity of metal particles. On the basis of these treatments, the contribution of different processes to the SMSI effect is analyzed. Electronic perturbation of rhodium particles is higher when reductions are performed in dynamic conditions; however, the importance of physical blocking of metal particles increases in static reductions. High reducibility of ceria strengthens electronic effects in Rh/CeO2 compared to those observed in Rh/TiO2 catalysts.     

The application of diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption to investigate the interaction of methanol on eta-alumina

The adsorption of methanol and its subsequent transformation to form dimethyl ether (DME) on a commercial grade eta-alumina catalyst has been investigated using a combination of mass selective temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The infrared spectrum of a saturated overlayer of methanol on eta-alumina shows the surface to be comprised of associatively adsorbed methanol and chemisorbed methoxy species. TPD shows methanol and DME to desorb with respective maxima at 380 and 480 K, with desorption detectable for both molecules up to ca. 700 K. At 673 K, infrared spectroscopy reveals the formation of a formate species; the spectral line width of the antisymmetric C-O stretch indicates the adoption of a high symmetry adsorbed state. Conventional TPD using a tubular reactor, combined with mass spectrometric analysis of the gas stream exiting the IR cell, indicate hydrogen and methane evolution to be associated with formation of the surface formate group and CO evolution with its decomposition. A reaction scheme is proposed for the generation and decomposition of this important reaction intermediate. The overall processes involved in (i) the adsorption/desorption of methanol, (ii) the transformation of methanol to DME, and (iii) the formation and decomposition of formate species are discussed within the context of a recently developed four-site model for the Lewis acidity of eta-alumina.     

Low-temperature decomposition of methanol on Au nanoclusters supported on a thin film of Al2O3/NiAl100

With a variety of surface probe techniques, we investigated low-temperature decomposition of methanol on Au nanoclusters formed by vapor deposition onto an ordered Al(2)O(3)/NiAl(100) thin film. Upon adsorption of methanol on the Au clusters (with mean diameter 1.5-3.8 nm and height 0.45-0.85 nm) at 110 K, some of the adsorbed methanol dehydrogenates directly into carbon monoxide (CO); the produced hydrogen atoms (H) begin to desorb near 125 K whereas most of the CO desorbs above 240 K. The reaction exhibits a significant dependence on the Au coverage: the produced CO increases in quantity with the Au coverage, reaches a maximum at about 1.0-1.5 ML Au, whereas decreases with further increase of the Au coverage. The coverage-dependence is rationalized partly by an altered number of reactive sites associated with low-coordinated Au in the clusters. At least two kinds of reactive sites for the low-temperature decomposition are distinguished through distinct C-O stretching frequencies (2050 cm(-1) and 2092 cm(-1)) while the produced CO co-adsorbs with H and methanol.     

甲醇在FeS2(100)完整表面的吸附和分解

采用基于第一性原理的密度泛函理论结合周期平板模型方法, 研究了甲醇分子在FeS₂(100)完整表面的吸附与解离. 通过比较不同吸附位置的吸附能和构型参数发现: 表面Fe位为有利吸附位, 甲醇分子通过氧原子吸附在表面Fe位, 吸附后甲醇分子中的C―O键和O―H键都有伸长, 振动频率发生红移; 甲醇分子易于解离成甲氧基CH3O和H, 表面Fe位仍然是二者有利吸附位. 通过计算得出甲醇在FeS₂(100)表面解离吸附的可能机理: 甲醇分子首先发生O―H键的断裂, 生成甲氧基中间体, 继而甲氧基C―H键断裂, 得到最后产物HCHO和H₂.     

Rapid monitoring of the nature and interconversion of supported catalyst phases and of their influence upon performance: CO oxidation to CO2 by gamma-Al2O3 supported Rh catalysts

Spatially and temporally resolved energy-dispersive EXAFS (EDE) has been utilised in situ to study supported Rh nanoparticles during CO oxidation by O2 under plug-flow conditions. Three distinct phases of Rh supported upon Al2O3 were identified by using EDE at the Rh K-edge during CO oxidation. Their presence and interconversion are related to the efficiency of the catalysts in oxidising CO to CO2. A metallic phase is only found at higher temperatures (>450 K) and CO fractions (CO/O2 > 1); an oxidic phase resembling Rh2O3 dominates the active catalyst under oxygen-rich conditions. Below about 573 K, and in CO-rich environments, high proportions of isolated Rh(I)(CO)2 species are found to co-exist with metallic Rh nanoparticles. Alongside these discrete situations a large proportion of the active phase space comprises small Rh cores surrounded by layers of active oxide. Confinement of Rh to nanoscale domains induces structural lability that influences catalytic behaviour. For CO oxidation over Rh/Al2O3 there are two redox phase equilibria alongside the chemistry of CO and O adsorbed upon extended Rh surfaces.     

Time-resolved sum-frequency generation spectroscopy of methoxy and deuterated methoxy on Ni(111) using near-infrared laser pulses

Methoxy (CH3O-) and deuterated (d-) methoxy (CD3O-) species on Ni(111) are investigated by sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. Methoxy adsorbed on the Ni(111) surface is confirmed by SFG spectroscopy to be oriented normal to the surface. Two resonant peaks produced by methoxy, at 2921 and 2821 cm(-1), are assigned to Fermi resonance between the CH symmetric stretching and overtone modes. Deuterated methoxy exhibits a single strong peak at 2051 cm(-1) assigned to the CD symmetric stretching mode. Investigation of the sub-nanosecond transient behavior of methoxy and d-methoxy species on Ni(111) under short-pulse laser pumping at 1064 nm reveals a clear weakening and recovery of the SFG peaks upon heating. The observed temporal profile is reproduced by simulation assuming that the original methoxy in the ground state is in chemical equilibrium with a new state produced by instantaneous heating. The dependence of the SFG spectra on the initial substrate temperature is also reproduced by the simulation. The simulation suggests a temperature jump of 250 K upon laser pumping, inducing a change in the molecular orientation or adsorption site of methoxy on the Ni(111) surface without decomposition of methoxy to adsorbed CO and hydrogen, which occurs under normal heating at 200 K.     

Variations in the surface chemistry of methanol with CeO2(100) at low and elevated pressures

The reactions of methanol with and without O₂ were studied on a flat, highly crystalline CeO₂(100) thin‐film surface with ambient pressure XPS. In the absence of O₂, the ambient pressure XPS results indicate that in both low‐pressure (≤10⁻⁵ Torr) and high‐pressure regimes (≥10⁻¹ Torr), the dominant surface species is methoxy. Methanol decomposition substantially reduces the ceria and C_X deposit build‐up on the surface. When O₂ is present, C_X does not accumulate on the surface and the dominant surface species is different in the low‐pressure and high‐pressure regimes. Methoxy dominates at low pressure, while formate dominates at the higher pressure. The type of surface species appears to be related to the ability of O₂ to fully oxidize the ceria surface during the methanol reaction.
