Inclined N2 desorption in a steady-state N2O + CO reaction on Pd(110)

The angular and velocity distributions of desorbing products were analyzed in the course of a catalyzed N2O + CO reaction on Pd(110). The reaction proceeded steadily above 450 K, and the N2 desorption merely collimated sharply along 45 degrees off the surface normal toward the [001] direction. It is proposed that this peculiar N2 desorption is induced by the decomposition of adsorbed N2O oriented along the [001] direction. On the basis of the observation of similar inclined N2 desorption in both NO + CO and N2O + CO reactions, the N2 formation via the intermediate N2Oa dissociation was confirmed in catalytic NO reduction.     

N2 emission in NO and N2O reduction on Rh(100) and Rh(110)

The angular distribution of desorbing N(2) was studied in both the thermal decomposition of N(2)O(a) on Rh(100) at 60-140 K and the steady-state NO (or N(2)O) + D(2) reaction on Rh(100) and Rh(110) at 280-900 K. In the former, N(2) desorption shows two peaks at around 85 and 110 K. At low N(2)O coverage, the desorption at 85 K collimates at about 66 degrees off normal towards the [001] direction, whereas at high coverage, it sharply collimates along the surface normal. In the NO reduction on Rh(100), the N(2) desorption preferentially collimates at around 71 degrees off normal towards the [001] direction below about 700 K, whereas it collimates predominantly along the surface normal at higher temperatures. At lower temperatures, the surface nitrogen removal in the NO reduction is due to the process of NO(a) + N(a) --> N(2)O(a) --> N(2)(g) + O(a). On the other hand, in the steady-state N(2)O + D(2) reaction on Rh(110), the N(2) desorption collimates closely along the [001] direction (close to the surface parallel) below 340 K and shifts to ca. 65 degrees off normal at higher temperatures. In the reduction with CO, the N(2) desorption collimates along around 65 degrees off normal towards the [001] direction above 520 K, and shifts to 45 degrees at 445 K with decreasing surface temperature. It is proposed that N(2)O is oriented along the [001] direction on both surfaces before dissociation and the emitted N(2) is not scattered by adsorbed hydrogen.     

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.     

Inclined N2 desorption in N2O reduction by D2 and CO on Pd(110)

Inclined N2 desorption was examined in the course of a catalyzed N2O + D2 (or CO) reaction on Pd(110) by angle-resolved mass spectroscopy combined with cross-correlation time-of-flight techniques. N2 desorption collimated at around 45 degrees off the normal toward the [001] direction in the temperature range of 400-800 K. Its collimation angle and kinetic energy were insensitive to both the surface temperature and surface conditions throughout the kinetic transition. It is proposed that this peculiar N2 desorption is induced by the decomposition of N2O oriented along the [001] direction.     

The collimation angle shift of desorbing product N2 in a steady-state N2O+CO reaction on Rh(110)

The angular distribution of desorbing product N2 was studied in N2O decompositions on Rh(110) in the temperature range of 60-700 K. The N2 desorption collimates along 62 degrees -68 degrees off normal toward either the [001] or [001] direction in a transient N2O decomposition below ca. 470 K or in the steady-state N2O+CO reaction above 540 K. In the steady-state reaction at the temperature from ca. 470 to 540 K, however, the collimation angle shifts from 62 degrees to 45 degrees with decreasing surface temperature. This angle shift is ascribed to the steric hindrance by coadsorbed CO because the N2 collimation in transient N2O decomposition at around 65 degrees is recovered in the range of 380-500 K by an abrupt CO pressure drop followed by the decrease in CO coverage. N2O is oriented along the [001] direction before dissociation. A scattering model of the nascent N2 by adsorbed CO is proposed, yielding smaller collimation angles.     

Spatial distributions of desorbing products in steady-state NO and N2O reductions on Pd(110)

The angular and velocity distributions of desorbing product N(2) were examined over the crystal azimuth in steady-state NO+CO and N(2)O+CO reactions on Pd(110) by cross-correlation time-of-flight techniques. At surface temperatures below 600 K, N(2) desorption in both reactions splits into two directional lobes collimated along 41 degrees -45 degrees from the surface normal toward the [001] and [001] directions. Above 600 K, the normally directed N(2) desorption is enhanced in the NO reduction. Each product desorption component, as well as CO(2), shows a fairly asymmetric distribution about its collimation axis. Two factors, i.e., the anisotropic site structures and the reactant orientation and movements, are operative to induce such asymmetry, depending on the product emission mechanism.     

Inclined N2 desorption in a steady-state NO + CO reaction on Pt(100)

The angular and velocity distributions of desorbing products N2 and CO2 were studied in a steady-state NO + CO reaction on Pt(100). From the observation of the inclined N2 desorption, a contribution of the intermediate N2O decomposition pathway was first proposed on this surface. On the other hand, CO2 desorption collimated along the surface normal.

Role of adsorbed NO in N2O decomposition over iron-containing ZSM-5 catalysts at low temperatures

Transient response and temperature-programmed desorption/reaction (TPD/TPR) methods were used to study the formation of adsorbed NO(x) from N2O and its effect during N2O decomposition to O2 and N2 over FeZSM-5 catalysts at temperatures below 653 K. The reaction proceeds via the atomic oxygen (O)(Fe) loading from N2O on extraframework active Fe(II) sites followed by its recombination/desorption as the rate-limiting step. The slow formation of surface NO(x,ads) species was observed from N2O catalyzing the N2O decomposition. This autocatalytic effect was assigned to the formation of NO(2,ads) species from NO(ads) and (O)(Fe) leading to facilitation of (O)(Fe) recombination/desorption. Mononitrosyl Fe2+(NO) and nitro (NO(2,ads)) species were found by diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) in situ at 603 K when N2O was introduced into NO-containing flow passing through the catalyst. The presence of NO(x,ads) does not inhibit the surface oxygen loading from N2O at 523 K as observed by transient response. However, the reactivity of (O)(Fe) toward CO oxidation at low temperatures (<523 K) is drastically diminished. Surface NO(x) species probably block the sites necessary for CO activation, which are in the vicinity of the loaded atomic oxygen.     

Collision-induced desorption in 193-nm photoinduced reactions in (O2+CO) adlayers on Pt(112)

The spatial distribution of desorbing O(2) and CO(2) was examined in 193-nm photoinduced reactions in O(2)+CO adlayers on stepped Pt (112)=[(s)3(111)x(001)]. The O(2) desorption collimated in inclined ways in the plane along the surface trough, confirming the hot-atom collision mechanism. In the presence of CO(a), the product CO(2) desorption also collimated in an inclined way, whereas the inclined O(2) desorption was suppressed. The inclined O(2) and CO(2) desorption is explained by a common collision-induced desorption model. At high O(2) coverage, the CO(2) desorption collimated closely along the (111) terrace normal.     

Mode-dependent coupling between vibration and translation of product CO(2) in CO oxidation on Pd(111)

The vibrational temperatures of product CO(2) were measured in CO oxidation on Pd(111) as a function of the desorption angle by means of infrared chemiluminescence. The antisymmetric vibration temperature was separately determined from the other vibrational modes from the normalized chemiluminescence intensity. The product CO(2) desorption is sharply collimated along the surface normal. The antisymmetric vibrational temperature increased from 1300 to 1600 K as the desorption angle increased from 0 degrees to 30 degrees , whereas the averaged vibrational temperature over bending and symmetric modes decreased from 2450 to 1530 K. From these angle dependences, an energy partitioning model in repulsive desorption is proposed.     

Decomposition of Nitrogen Oxides on Palladium and Angle-Resolved Measurements of Desorbing Products

Recent angle-resolved measurements of desorbing products were reviewed for decomposition of nitrogen oxides on noble metals. Two pathways for the removal of adsorbed nitrogen atoms, i.e., N(a) + NO(a) N₂O(a) N₂(g) + O(a) and 2N(a) N₂(g), were examined typically on Pd(110). The former takes place in the presence of gaseous CO and shows two-directional N₂ desorption collimated far from the surface normal in the normally directed plane along the [001] direction. The latter does not contribute in CO + NO reaction on Pd(110). The model proposed for the inclined desorption was also explained.     

Molecular beam measurements and Monte Carlo simulations of the kinetics of N2O decomposition on Rh(111) single-crystal surfaces

The kinetics of N2O decomposition on Rh(111) single-crystal surfaces were investigated both experimentally by isothermal molecular beam measurements and theoretically using a Monte Carlo algorithm. The present work was directed to the understanding of two unusual observations derived from our previous work on this system, namely, (1) the lower rates for N2O decomposition seen at higher reaction temperatures, and (2) the lower total nitrogen yields and final oxygen surface coverages that accompany that behavior. Experimentally, it was determined here that after the rhodium surface is rendered inactive by N2O decomposition at high (520 K) temperatures, significant activity is still possible at lower (350 K) temperatures. The Monte Carlo simulations explain these observations by assuming that the surface sites required for the activation of adsorbed N2O increase in size with increasing reaction temperature.     

Surface-nitrogen removal in a steady-state NO + H2 reaction on Pd(110)

Surface-nitrogen removal steps were analyzed in the course of a catalyzed NO + H(2) reaction on Pd(110) by angle-resolved mass spectroscopy combined with cross-correlation time-of-flight techniques. Four removal steps, i.e., (i) the associative process of nitrogen atoms, 2N(a) --> N(2)(g), (ii) the decomposition of the intermediate, NO(a) + N(a) --> N(2)O(a) --> N(2)(g) + O(a), (iii) its desorption, N(2)O(a) --> N(2)O(g), and (iv) the desorption as ammonia, N(a) + 3H(a) --> NH(3)(g), are operative in a comparable order. Above 600 K, process (i) is predominant, whereas the others largely contribute below 600 K. Process (iv) becomes significant at H(2) pressures above a critical value, about half the NO pressure. Hydrogen was a stronger reagent than CO toward NO reduction and relatively enhanced the N(a) associative process.     

Preparation and characterization of ultrathin [Ru(CO)3Cl2]2 and [BMIM][Tf2N] films on Al2O3/NiAl(110) under UHV conditions

Towards a better understanding of the interface chemistry of ionic liquid (IL) thin film catalytic systems we have applied a rigorous surface science model approach. For the first time, a model homogeneous catalyst has been prepared under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The catalyst, di-μ-chlorobis(chlorotricarbonylruthenium) [Ru(CO)(3)Cl(2)](2), and the solvent, the IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [BMIM][Tf(2)N], have been deposited by physical vapor deposition onto an alumina model support [Al(2)O(3)/NiAl(110)]. First, the interaction between thin films of [Ru(CO)(3)Cl(2)](2) and the support is investigated. Then, the ruthenium complex is co-deposited with the IL and the influence of the solvent on the catalyst is discussed. D(2)O, which is a model reactant, is further added. Growth, surface interactions, and mutual interactions in the thin films are studied with IRAS in combination with density functional (DFT) calculations. At 105 K, molecular adsorption of [Ru(CO)(3)Cl(2)](2) is observed on Al(2)O(3)/NiAl(110). The IRAS spectra of the binary [Ru(CO)(3)Cl(2)](2) + [BMIM][Tf(2)N] and ternary [Ru(CO)(3)Cl(2)](2) + [BMIM][Tf(2)N] + D(2)O show every characteristic band of the individual components. Above 223 K, partial decomposition of the ruthenium complex leads to species of molecular nature attributed to Ru(CO) and Ru(CO)(2) surface species. Formation of metallic ruthenium clusters occurs above 300 K and the model catalyst decomposes further at higher temperatures. Neither the presence of the IL nor of D(2)O prevents this partial decomposition of [Ru(CO)(3)Cl(2)](2) on alumina.

Reaction heat-driven CO2 desorption during CO oxidation on Au(997) at low temperatures

Adsorption and reaction of CO and CO₂ were studied on oxygen-covered Au(997) surfaces by means of temperatureprogrammed desorption/reaction spectroscopy. Oxygen atoms (O(a)) on Au(997) enhances the CO₂ adsorption and stabilizes the adsorbed CO₂(a), and the stabilization effect also depends on the CO₂(a) coverage and involved Au sites. CO₂(a) desorption is the rate-limiting step for the CO+O(a) reaction to produce CO₂ on Au(997) at 105 K and exhibits complex behaviors, including the desorption of CO₂(a) upon CO exposures at 105 K and the desorption of O(a)-stabilized CO₂(a) at elevated temperatures. The desorption of CO₂(a) from the surface upon CO exposures at 105 K to produce gaseous CO₂ depends on the surface reaction extent and involves the reaction heat-driven CO₂(a) desorption channel. CO+O(a) reaction proceeds more easily with weakly-bound oxygen adatoms at the (111) terraces than strongly-bound oxygen adatoms at the (111) steps. These results reveal complex rate-limiting CO₂(a) desorption behaviors during CO+O(a) reaction on Au surfaces at low temperatures which provide novel information on the fundamental understanding of Au catalysis.     

Formation of the surface NO during N2O interaction at low temperature with iron-containing ZSM-5

Interaction of N2O at low temperatures (473-603 K) with Fe-ZSM-5 zeolites (Fe, 0.01-2.1 wt %) activated by steaming and/or thermal treatment in He at 1323 K was studied by the transient response method and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). Diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) of NO adsorbed at room temperature as a probe molecule indicated heterogeneity of surface Fe(II) sites. The most intensive bands were found at 1878 and 1891 cm(-1), characteristic of two types mononitrosyl species assigned to Fe2+(NO) involved in bi- and oligonuclear species. Fast loading of atomic oxygen from N2O on the surface and slower formation of adsorbed NO species were observed. The initial rate of adsorbed NO formation was linearly dependent on the concentration of active Fe sites assigned to bi- and oligonuclear species, evolving oxygen in the TPD at around 630-670 K. The maximal coverage of a zeolite surface by NO was estimated from the TPD of NO at approximately 700 K. This allowed the simulation of the dynamics of the adsorbed NO formation at 523 K, which was consistent with the experiments. The adsorbed NO facilitated the atomic oxygen recombination/desorption, the rate determining step during N2O decomposition to O2 and N2, taking place at temperatures > or =563 K.
