表面杂质对NO+CO/Pt(100)反应体系振荡动力学的影响

提出了一个格气模型， 探讨催化表面的惰性杂质对NO+CO/Pt(100)反应体系振荡动力学行为的影响．研究发现表面杂质较少时，反应进程中表面重构能够形成相连通的1*1相和持续的振荡行为．当表面杂质不断增加时，反应进程中1*1相只能形成许多孤立的畴，从而在1*1相形成的随机的局域振荡的空间关联被削弱，因而体系全局的持续振荡行为演变为衰减振荡行为．当表面吸附的CO和NO的扩散速率增加时，局域振荡的空间协同又得到加强，体系又呈现出持续振荡行为．     

Adsorbate-oxide interactions during the NO + CO reaction on MgO(100) supported Pd monolayer films

The potential energy diagram for the NO+CO reaction on 1, 2, and 3 monolayer (ML) Pd films supported by MgO(100) is calculated using density functional theory. Thin Pd films are generally found to be more reactive than thick films, with a notable exception for nitrogen adsorption on 2 ML Pd/MgO(100). For this system an attractive through-the-metal adsorbate-oxide interaction of 0.5 eV is identified. Nitrogen adsorption is consequently estimated to provide a thermodynamic driving force for the reconstruction of MgO(100) supported 3 ML (or thicker) Pd clusters into thinner Pd clusters.     

Dynamic Monte Carlo simulation of the NO+H2 reaction on Pt(100): TPR spectra

The catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by hydrogen over a Pt surface is studied using a dynamic Monte Carlo (MC) method on a square lattice under low pressure conditions. Using a Langmuir–Hinshelwood reaction mechanism, a simplified model with only four adsorbed species (NO, H, O, and N) is constructed. The effect on the NO dissociation rate, the limiting step in the whole reaction, is inhibited by co-adsorbed NO and H₂ molecules and is enhanced both by the presence of empty sites and adsorbed N atoms at nearest neighbors. In these simulations, several experimental parameter values are included, such as: adsorption, desorption and diffusion of the reactants. The phenomenon is studied while varying the temperature over the 300–550 K range. The model reproduces well-observed TPD and TPR experimental results. For the whole NO+H₂ reaction, the phenomena of “surface explosion” is observed and can be explained as the result of the abrupt production of N₂ due to both the autocatalytic NO decomposition favored by the presence of vacant sites and the development of inhomogeneous fluctuations. MA simulations also allow a visualization of the spatial development of the surface explosion as heating proceeds.     

Explosive production of CO2 from (NO + CO)/Pd(100)

Explosive CO₂ production followed by the gradual N₂ production has been observed by TDS as a result of the NO-CO reaction on the Pd(100) surface which does not reconstruct. The location and width of the CO₂ desorption peak have been found to be almost independent of the total coverage. For this autocatalytic reaction, the vacancy requirement model is considered to be valid. Change in the CO₂ production by varying the NO coverage (with the CO coverage fixed) has been also studied, from which information on the island formation is derived.     

Interactions between NO and CO on Pt(111)

Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of coadsorbed NO and CO on Pt(111) shows that no reaction occurs (less than 2%) up to the desorption temperature of NO. At 100 K, adsorption is competitive, but neither gas displaces the other from the surface. Coadsorbed CO causes the NO desorption temperature to be lowered by as much as 100 K, but NO does not affect the CO desorption temperature. TPD spectra for NO depend on which gas is adsorbed first, indicating that equilibrium between species is not established on the surface during desorption. Electron energy loss spectra show that the vibrational spectrum of each gas is only weakly affected by the other. When NO is adsorbed first, CO does not affect the ratio of bridged and terminal NO but lowers the frequencies of the bridged NO by approximately 50 cm^?1 and lowers the intensities of vibrational peaks of both species by a factor of about four. When CO is adsorbed first, the ratio of terminal to bridged NO increases for given coverage of NO, and the frequency of the bridged NO remains at the pure NO value. These results are explained in terms of CO island formation, repulsive interactions between NO and CO, and low adsorbate mobilities.     

Low energy electron spectroscopy of Pt (100) and Pt (100)/CO

Fine structure in the n_vi, _VIIVV spectrum of clean Pt (100) has been observed, and interpreted as “band like” in origin rather than quasi-atomic. Differences in the dependence of the Auger yield on primary beam energy are observed between the N_VI, _VIIVV and O_IIIVV peaks, and are associated with anomalies in the dependence of the inner shell ionization crossection of the 4f level. Low energy electron loss spectra on the clean surface have been investigated at primary energies in the range 71–774 eV and at angles of incidence of the beam 0–60°. The results are related to high energy loss and optical data, and assignments are given for inter-band and plasmon losses. With approximately $\text{3}\text{4}$ of a monolayer of CO on the surface there is a prominent additional loss at around 13.5 eV, which is interpreted as a one electron transition from a σ state below the d band to available states several electron volts above the Fermi level.     

Chemisorption of CO on the unreconstructed Pt(100) surface

The chemisorption of CO on the clean, unreconstructed Pt(100)-1 × 1 surface was investigated by LEED and XPS. Three LEED patterns, c(2 × 2), (√2 × 3√2) R45° and c(4 × 2), were observed with increasing CO exposure and structure models corresponding to these LEED patterns were proposed. The absolute coverage of CO was determined by combining the O(1s) XPS data with coverage information derived from LEED. The maximum CO coverage thus obtained was θ = 0.75 and the initial sticking coefficient was determined to be s₀ = 0.6. This coverage calibration can also be utilized for other oxygen containing molecules by comparing the corresponding O(1s)it peak intensities.     

Interaction of NO with CO on Pd(100): ordered coadsorption structures and explosive reaction

An ordered mixed structure of c(3 × 2) is formed for a (NO + CO) coadsorption layer. The c(3 × 2) islands are considered to consist of equimolar NO and CO. The local fractional coverage (θ_NO + θ_CO) in the domain is estimated to be 0.33. Explosive production of CO₂ takes place in the c(3 × 2) islands. The vacancy requirement model is considered to be valid for the autocatalytic reaction. Since the reaction is not accompanied with any substrate reconstruction, the autocatalytic behaviour is attributed only to the formation of mixed islands. The desorption of N₂ follows, however, the second-order kinetics on Pd(100). As a result of the competition between NO and CO for the surface electrons, the CO-metal bond is weakened by the coadsorbed NO, which influences the explosive reaction. On the other hand, strengthening of the NO-metal bond is observed. When NO is in excess of CO, a p(3 × 2) structure coexists with the c(3 × 2) structure. The local coverage in the p(3 × 2) islands is estimated to be 0.33. In this coverage region, another path for the CO₂ production is available.     

The oxidation of CO on the Pt(100)-(5 × 20) surface

The kinetics of the CO oxidation reaction were examined on the Pt(100)-(5 × 20) surface under UHV conditions. The transient isothermal rate of CO₂ production was examined both for exposure of an oxygen-dosed surface to a beam of CO and for exposure of a CO-dosed surface to a beam of O₂. Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics were found to apply in both cases. For the reaction of CO with preadsorbed oxygen atoms, the reaction rate was dependent upon the square-root of the oxygen atom coverage, suggesting that oxygen atoms were adsorbed in islands on this surface. The oxidation of preadsorbed CO was observed only when the initial CO concentrations were less than 0.5 monolayer (c(2 × 2) structure), suggesting that the dissociative adsorption of oxygen required adjacent four-fold surface sites. The activation energy calculated for the reaction of CO with preadsorbed oxygen was 31.4 kcal/mol. This value was 30 kcal/mol greater than the activation energy measured for the reaction of O₂ with preadsorbed CO. Strong attractive interactions within the oxygen islands were at least partially responsible for this difference. The reaction kinetics in both cases changed dramatically below 300 K; this change is believed to be due to phase separation at the lower temperature.     

Mapping the local reaction kinetics by PEEM: CO oxidation on individual (100)-type grains of Pt foil

The locally-resolved reaction kinetics of CO oxidation on individual (100)-type grains of a polycrystalline Pt foil was monitored in situ using photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). Reaction-induced surface morphology changes were studied by optical differential interference contrast microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Regions of high catalytic activity, low activity and bistability in a (p,T)-parameter space were determined, allowing to establish a local kinetic phase diagram for CO oxidation on (100) facets of Pt foil. PEEM observations of the reaction front propagation on Pt(100) domains reveal a high degree of propagation anisotropy both for oxygen and CO fronts on the apparently isotropic Pt(100) surface. The anisotropy vanishes for oxygen fronts at temperatures above 465?K, but is maintained for CO fronts at all temperatures studied, i.e. in the range of 417 to 513?K. A change in the front propagation mechanism is proposed to explain the observed effects.     

Absolute coverages of CO and O on Pt(111); Comparison of saturation CO coverages on Pt(100), (110) and (111) surfaces

Nuclear microanalysis (NMA) has been used to determine the absolute coverages of oxygen and CO adsorbed on Pt(111). The saturation oxygen coverage at 300 K is 3.9 ± 0.4 × 10¹⁴ O atoms cm^?2 (θ = 0.26 ± 0.03), confirming the assignment of the LEED pattern as p(2 × 2). The saturation CO coverage at 300 K is 7.4 ± 0.3 × 10¹⁴ CO cm^?2 (θ = 0.49 ± 0.02). The low temperature saturation CO coverages on Pt(100), (110) and (111) surfaces are compared.     

The adsorption of hydrogen and the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen on Pt (100)

The adsorption of hydrogen on Pt (100) was investigated by utilizing LEED, Auger electron spectroscopy and flash desorption mass spectrometry. No new LEED structures were found during the adsorption of hydrogen. One desorption peak was detected by flash desorption with a desorption maximum at 160 °C. Quantitative evaluation of the flash desorption spectra yields a saturation coverage of 4.6 × 10¹⁴ atoms/cm² at room temperature with an initial sticking probability of 0.17. Second order desorption kinetics was observed and a desorption energy of 15–16 kcal/mole has been deduced. The shapes of the flash desorption spectra are discussed in terms of lateral interactions in the adsorbate and of the existence of two substates at the surface. The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen on Pt (100) has been investigated by monitoring the reaction product H₂O in a mass spectrometer. The temperature dependence of the reaction proved to be complex and different reaction mechanisms might be dominant at different temperatures. Oxygen excess in the gas phase inhibits the reaction by blocking reactive surface sites. At least two adsorption states of H₂O have to be considered on Pt (100). Desorption from the prevailing low energy state occurs below room temperature. Flash desorption spectra of strongly bound H₂O coadsorbed with hydrogen and oxygen have been obtained with desorption maxima at 190 °C and 340 °C.     

Mechanism of an adsorbate-induced surface phase transformation: CO on Pt(100)

The mechanism of the (5 × 20)→(1 × 1) transition of Pt(100) during adsorption of CO has been investigated using a fast Video-LEED technique. Analysis of the coverage-dependence of the intensities of several LEED spots on different surfaces leads to a straightforward model. The phase transition occurs by a nucleation-trapping mechanism of the adsorbed CO. The driving force is the difference in stabilities of CO adsorbed on the reconstructed and unreconstructed Pt surfaces.     

The formation of subsurface oxygen on Pt(100)

PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) enables imaging a surface via its work function. If a CO covered Pt(100) surface is exposed to oxygen patches are formed which appear dark in the PEEM image due to their high work function. As the surface is heated to temperatures above 650 K we observe the conversion of these dark islands into very bright ones with work functions much lower than even that of the clean surface. These findings are attributed to a change in the dipole moment of the adsorbed oxygen induced by their migration beneath the surface. A total work-function decrease of up to 1.2 eV has been evaluated independently using a Scanning Photoemission Microscope (SPM). The properties of this new kind of oxygen were also further investigated with thermal desorption spectroscopy and with Auger-electron spectroscopy.     

Angular distribution patterns of photoelectrons from orbitals of CO adsorbed on Ni(100), Pt(111) and Pt(110)

The synchrotron radiation from BESSY has been used to measure the photoemission from CO orbitals adsorbed as ordered overlayers on Ni(100) c(2 × 2), Pt(111) c(4 × 2) and Pt(110) (2 × 1)p2mg. Angular distribution patterns of photoelectrons from CO orbitals were recorded with a display-type analyzer. The data were compared with differential photoionization cross sections calculated for free and oriented molecules. The results demonstrate the upright orientation of CO on Ni(100) and Pt(111), while CO on Pt(110) shows a marked difference which can be explained by assuming that the CO molecules are tilted in the [001] directions of Pt(110), yielding a (2 × 1)p2mg superstructure observed in LEED. The tilt angle is estimated to about 20°. The structure model is supported by the shape resonances of the 4σ (5σ) orbitals of CO/Pt(110) as compared to CO/Pt(111).     

Non-equilibrium surface phase transitions during the catalytic oxidation of CO on Pt(100)

Isothermal low-pressure oscillations of the rate of catalytic CO oxidation on a Pt(100) surface could be established under appropriate conditions and were monitored through the accompanying periodic variation of the work function. Parallel observations by the Video-LEED technique demonstrated that these oscillations are associated with periodic transformations of the (long-range) surface structure from the reconstructed hex to the 1 × 1 phase and back, which is caused by varying surface concentrations of the reacting particles.
