Abstract: | The interaction of CO2 with Cs-promoted Fe(110) at 85 K as well as temperature-dependent reactions between 100 and 700 K have been studied by means of ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Several surface species could be detected at 85 K, i.e. carbon monoxide (CO), carbonate (COn?3), physisorbed linear carbon dioxide (COlin2) and very small amounts of oxidic oxygen (Oox). An oxalate species (C2Om?4) could not be identified definitively, but from comparison with the literature there is evidence that C2Om?4 is present. Increasing the temperature after saturation with CO2 leads to a complicated reaction behaviour. CO2 either desorbs or dissociates into CO and COn?3 or forms C2Om?4 at temperatures between 85 and 160 K. Above 160 K C2Om?4, decomposes in parallel reactions into CO2, COn?3 and CO. Above 320 K, adsorbed CO either desorbs into the gas phase or dissociates into C and O. In the temperature region between 500 and 700 K a recombination of C and O to CO and the desorption of Cs take place. As in the case of Fe(110)/K+CO2, at high alkali coverages two carbonate species could be detected which dissociate upon heating at different temperatures. The system Fe(110)/Cs+CO2 is proved to be very similar to the system Fe(110)/K+CO2. |
