Chemisorption - Induced 2 D 3 D 2 D Structural Transitions in Gold Heptamer : ( CO ) n Au 7 ( n = 1 4 )
S the discovery of high catalytic activities for CO oxidation by gold nanoparticles, 3 a growing list of important reactions has been found to be catalyzed by gold nanoparticles, such as epoxidation, hydrogenation/reduction, C Cbond formation, and water gas shift. Extensive research has been devoted to the CO oxidation reaction. Many factors have been reported to influence the rate of CO oxidat...
متن کاملChemisorption sites of CO on small gold clusters and transitions from chemisorption to physisorption.
Gold clusters adsorbed with CO, Au(m)(CO)(n) (-) (m=2-5; n=0-7), were studied by photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). The first few CO adsorptions were observed to induce significant redshifts to the PES spectra relative to pure gold clusters. For each Au cluster, a critical CO number (n(c)) was observed, beyond which the PES spectra of Au(m)(CO)(n) (-) change very little with increasing n. n(c) w...
متن کاملPhotoelectron spectroscopy of AlnD2- (n=3-15): observation of chemisorption and physisorption of dideuterium on aluminum cluster anions.
Photoelectron spectroscopy is used to investigate aluminum dideuteride cluster anions, AlnD2- (n=3,6-15), produced by laser vaporization of a pure Al target with a D2-seeded helium carrier gas. Comparison between the well-resolved photoelectron spectra of AlnD2- and Aln- reveals the nature of interactions between D2 and Aln-. Depending on the size of the Aln- clusters and their electronic struc...
متن کاملRecognizing Physisorption and Chemisorption in Carbon Nanotubes Gas Sensors by Double Exponential Fitting of the Response
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been grown in situ on a SiO 2 substrate and used as gas sensors. For this purpose, the voltage response of the CNTs as a function of time has been used to detect H 2 and CO 2 at various concentrations by supplying a constant current to the system. The analysis of both adsorptions and desorptions curves has revealed two different exponential behaviours f...
متن کاملIrreversible adsorption from dilute polymer solutions.
We study irreversible polymer adsorption from dilute solutions theoretically. Universal features of the resultant non-equilibrium layers are predicted. Two broad cases are considered, distinguished by the magnitude of the local monomer-surface sticking rate Q: chemisorption (very small Q) and physisorption (large Q). Early stages of layer formation entail single-chain adsorption. While single-c...
