High-Pressure Studies of CO Adsorption on Pd(111) by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Sum-Frequency Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-pressure CO adsorption on Pd(111) was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) from 200 to 400 K, and in a pressure range from 10-6 to 1 mbar. Even in the millibar regime both methods indicated that CO adsorbed in “regular” adsorption sites such as hollow, bridge, and on-top. By combination of XPS and SFG, a quantitative analysis of CO coverages at various pressures was performed. At high pressure, no CO structures different from those known from UHV studies were observed. Also, no indications of CO dissociation or carbonyl formation were found under the given experimental conditions, provided that the CO gas was sufficiently cleaned.

Hydrogen and deuterium exchange on Pt(111) and its poisoning by carbon monoxide studied by surface sensitive high-pressure techniques.
Catalytic hydrogen/deuterium exchange on a platinum (111) single crystal and its poisoning with carbon monoxide was studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG), and mass spectrometry under reaction conditions at pressures in the mTorr to atmospheric range. At 298 K and in the presence of 200 m...
متن کاملChemistry of Alanine on Pd(111): Temperature-programmed desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic study
The adsorption of alanine is studied on a Pd(111) surface using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). It is found that alanine adsorbs into the second and subsequent layers prior to completion of the first monolayer for adsorption at 250 K, while at 300 K, alanine adsorbs almost exclusively into the first monolayer with almost no second-layer adsorp...
متن کاملPdZn/Pd(111) surface alloys as model catalysts for methanol steam reforming
Pd supported on ZnO has recently raised great interest as a catalyst for methanol steam reforming. Different from unsupported Pd, Pd-ZnO shows high selectivity and good conversion towards CO2 and hydrogen [1]. The difference is attributed to the formation of a PdZn alloy under reaction conditions, but there is still limited knowledge on the exact surface structure/composition and reaction mecha...
متن کاملHexadecylamine Adsorption at the Iron Oxide–Oil Interface
The adsorption behavior of a model additive, hexadecylamine, onto an iron surface from hexadecane oil has been characterized using polarized neutron reflectometry, sum-frequency generation spectroscopy, solution depletion isotherm, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The amine showed a strong affinity for the metal surface, forming a dense monolayer at relatively low concentrations; a l...
متن کاملIn situ studies of methanol decomposition and oxidation on Pd(111) by PM-IRAS and XPS spectroscopy.
Methanol decomposition and oxidation on Pd(111) at millibar pressure were studied by in situ polarization-modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRAS), on-line gas chromatography and pre- and postreaction X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Various dehydrogenation products such as methoxy CH3O, formaldehyde CH2O, formyl CHO, and CO could be spectroscopically identified. ...
