The Oxidizing Power of the Atmosphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
The atmosphere is an oxidizing medium. Many environmentally important trace gases emitted from the Earth’s surface are removed from the atmosphere by oxidation. The list includes methane and other organic compounds, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur gases (Table 1). Understanding the processes and rates by which species are oxidized in the atmosphere, i.e., the oxidizing power of the atmosphere, is crucial to our knowledge of atmospheric composition. Changes in the oxidizing power of the atmosphere would have a wide range of implications for air pollution, aerosol formation, greenhouse radiative forcing, and stratospheric ozone depletion [Thompson, 1992].

Ambient Pressure XPS Study of Mixed Conducting Perovskite-Type SOFC Cathode and Anode Materials under Well-Defined Electrochemical Polarization
The oxygen exchange activity of mixed conducting oxide surfaces has been widely investigated, but a detailed understanding of the corresponding reaction mechanisms and the rate-limiting steps is largely still missing. Combined in situ investigation of electrochemically polarized model electrode surfaces under realistic temperature and pressure conditions by near-ambient pressure (NAP) XPS and i...
