چکیده
This collaboration has recently shown that infrared excitation can drive decomposition reactions of molecules on the surface of gas-phase transition metal clusters. We describe here a significant extension of this work to the study of bimolecular reactions initiated in a similar manner. Specifically, 10 we have observed the infrared activated CO oxidation reaction (CO (ads) + O (ads) → CO 2(g)) on isolated platinum oxide cations, Pt n O m +. Small platinum cluster oxides Pt n O m + (n = 3–7, m = 2,4), have been decorated with CO molecules and subjected to multiple photon infrared excitation in the range 400–2200 cm-1 using the Free Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments 15 (FELIX). The Pt n O m CO + clusters have been characterised by infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy using messenger atom tagging. Evidence is observed for isomers involving both dissociatively and molecularly adsorbed oxygen on the cluster surface. Further information is obtained on the evolution of the cluster structure with number of platinum 20 atoms and CO coverage. In separate experiments, Pt n O m CO + clusters have been subjected to infrared heating via the CO stretch around 2100 cm ‐1. On all clusters investigated, the CO oxidation reaction, indicated by CO 2 loss and production of Pt n O m-1 + , is found to compete effectively with the CO desorption channel. The experimental observations are compared with the 25 results of preliminary DFT calculations in order to identify both cluster structures and plausible mechanisms for the surface reaction.

متن کاملScanning electrochemical mapping of spatially localized electrochemical reactions induced by surface potential gradients.
The influence of a surface potential gradient on the location and extent of electrochemical reactions was examined using a scanning electrochemical microscope. A linear potential gradient was imposed on the surface of a platinum-coated indium tin oxide electrode by applying two different potential values at the edges of the electrode. The applied potentials were used to control the location and...

Automotive exhaust is one of the main generators of air pollutants. This problem is expected to worsen as the demand for privately owned vehicles increases. Internal combustion engines utilizing gasoline and diesel generate harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), particulates, and sulfur oxides (SOx). Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), an ...

Chemisorption of CO and mechanism of CO oxidation on supported platinum nanoclusters.
Kinetic, isotopic, and infrared studies on well-defined dispersed Pt clusters are combined here with first-principle theoretical methods on model cluster surfaces to probe the mechanism and structural requirements for CO oxidation catalysis at conditions typical of its industrial practice. CO oxidation turnover rates and the dynamics and thermodynamics of adsorption-desorption processes on clus...
