Front dynamics in catalytic surface reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variety of pattern formation phenomena in catalytic surface reactions can be attributed to the dynamics of interfaces, or fronts, separating distinct uniform states. The states may represent surface coverages by different adsorbates or, in the case of forced oscillations, different phases of oscillation. The dynamics of fronts are strongly affected by front instabilities and by diffusion anisotropy. We identify two new pattern formation mechanisms associated with different front behaviors in orthogonal directions: an ordering process by which stationary labyrinths in an isotropic system evolve into ordered stationary stripes, and confinement of isotropic spatiotemporal chaos to one space dimension, a state we term stratified chaos.

متن کاملStudy on Catalytic and Photocatalytic Decontamination of (2-Chloroethyl) Phenyl Sulfide with Nano-TiO2
Catalytic and photocatalytic reactions of (2-chloroethyl) phenyl sulfide (2-CEPS), a mimic of bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide (i.e. Sulfur mustard) were studied on the surfaces of titanium oxide. TiO2 nanoparticles (anatase, rutile and mixture of 80% anatase/20% rutile) along with bulk TiO2 were tested as reactive sorbents for reaction of 2-CEPS at room temperature (25±0.5°C). Reactions were monit...
