Morphology and CO adsorption on platinum supported on thin Fe3O4(111) films

Morphology and CO adsorption on platinum supported on thin Fe(3)O(4)(111) films.

Nucleation, growth and thermal stability of Pt particles supported on well ordered Fe(3)O(4)(111) thin films grown on Pt(111) were studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of CO. STM studies showed that Pt grows through the formation of single-layer islands that coalesce at high coverage. Vacuum annealing at 600 K caused Pt sintering and the fo...

CO Adsorption on Co(0001)-Supported Pt Overlayers

the growth of Pt deposits on Co(0001) was followed by STM and XPS. The chemical reactivity of the resulting surface was checked by CO adsorption. Pt grows as dendritic islands on the Co terraces whereas forming stripes at the Co step edges. Annealing the sample has no apparent effect on the STM pictures. However, XPS suggests that a limited dilution of Pt in Co takes place. The adsorption of CO...

CO Methanation and Ethane Hydrogenolysis over Ni Thin Films Supported on W ( 110 ) and W ( 100 )

Conclusions The application of the mixed monolayer approach to gold electrodes coated with highly organized long-chain hydrocarbon amphiphiles enables us a t this point to obtain complete blocking of the electrode, or, by controlling the adsorption conditions, to leave a certain amount of natural pinholes. Both cases are of considerable interest from an electrochemical point of view. In the pre...

Influence of Co and Fe substitution on optical and structural properties of zinc oxide thin films

Zn0.97TM0.03O (TM = Co, Fe) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by the sol–gel method and the effects of transition metals substitution on structural and optical properties of ZnO films were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the films have wurtzite structure. Optical transmittance of the films was recorded in the range of 200 -800 nm wave length and the band...
