Characterization and Chemical Properties of Pd-Au Alloy Surfaces†

چکیده
The chemisorptive behavior of CO on Pd-Au alloy films has been studied by infrared reflection-adsorption spectroscopy (IRAS). Geometric (ensemble) and electronic (ligand) effects have been addressed by comparing the results with the corresponding single-component systems. A unique CO vibrational feature at 2088 cm-1 is associated with CO adsorption on isolated Pd sites. Considering the frequency of the CO stretching mode, these data support mainly an influence of an ensemble effect on the chemical properties and contradict any significant contribution from a ligand effect. The surface concentration of isolated Pd sites can be controlled systematically by altering the bulk Pd-Au alloy composition, thus providing a method for studying isolated Pd as an active site for various catalytic reactions.

متن کاملThe work functions of Au/Mg decorated Au(100), Mg(001), and AuMg alloy surfaces: a theoretical study.
A plane-wave density functional theory is used to predict the work functions of Au/Mg decorated Au(100), Mg(001), and stochiometric AuMg alloy surfaces. We find, that irrespective of the details, all Au/Mg systems containing Mg on the surface reveal the Mg-dominated work functions, i.e., significantly shifted toward the work function of clean Mg(001) surface. The reported analyses suggest, that...
