Abstract

The binding states and sticking coefficients of CO and H₂ on clean and oxide covered (111)Pt are examined using flash desorption mass spectrometry and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). On the clean surface at 78 K there is one major binding state of CO with a desorption activation energy which decreases with coverage plus a second smaller state, while H₂ exhibits three binding states with peak temperatures of 140, 230 and 310 K and saturation density ratios of 0.5 : 1 : 1. Desorption kinetics of CO are consistent with a first order state with a normal pre-exponential factor of 10^{13 ± 1} sec⁻¹, while all three peaks of H₂ are broader than expected. Interpretations in terms of anomalous pre-exponential factors, coverage dependent desorption activation energies, and desorption orders are considered. On the oxidized surface saturation densities of both gases are nearly identical to those on the clean surface, but desorption temperatures are increased significantly and the initial sticking coefficient on the oxide decreases slightly for CO and increases slightly for H₂.

Active sites for the selective hydrodeoxygenation of m-cresol on WO<inf>x</inf>-modified Pt
2019, Surface Science
Citation Excerpt :
CO was produced in two distinct peaks centered at 460 K and 535 K, with a smaller, less distinct peak between 560 K and 650 K. The CO peak at 460 K is at the same temperature as that expected for desorption-limited CO from Pt(111) [26]. The simultaneous desorption of H2 and CO at 535 K indicates a reaction limited process.
Adsorption and reaction of m-cresol on Pt(111) and WO_x-modified Pt(111) surfaces was characterized using temperature programmed desorption (TPD), high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results of this study show that on Pt(111) a strong interaction between the aromatic ring and the Pt surface facilitates CC bond cleavage resulting in decomposition at relatively low temperatures. In contrast, on WO_x-modified Pt(111), m-cresol bonds to oxygen vacancy sites on the WO_x deposits via the hydroxyl oxygen with the aromatic ring tilted away from the surface, resulting in a bonding configuration that promotes selective CO bond cleavage and limits ring hydrogenation. XPS results also show that interactions at the Pt-WO_x interface help stabilize submonolayer WO_x deposits in a partially reduced state, thereby maintaining a high concentration of the oxygen vacancy adsorption sites.
Using probe molecule FTIR spectroscopy to identify and characterize Pt-group metal based single atom catalysts
2017, Cuihua Xuebao/Chinese Journal of Catalysis
Citation Excerpt :
Once the sites have been unambiguously identified, an in-situ IR setup allows one to probe reactivity, compare adsorption strength of probe molecules on different sites, and explore possible reaction mechanisms by identifying the active site and quantifying changes in the spectra over the course of a reaction. There is strong evidence from surface science studies that CO adsorbs more strongly to Ptox sites compared to Ptmetal sites [15,16]. In characterizing the catalytic reactivity of Ptiso species (and PGMiso species in general) a first step is to compare the adsorption energy of reactive species to Ptiso versus Ptmetal and Ptox sites.
Use of chemical descriptors approach and DFT to analyze the C[sbnd]C bond cleavage on Pt<inf>3</inf>Re<inf>1</inf> alloy in the ethanol oxidation reaction for fuel cells
2017, Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry
Design of selective catalysts able to cleave CC bond in ethanol oxidation reaction at low temperatures is primordial for improving the direct ethanol proton exchange membrane fuel cells (DEFCs). PtRe mixture could be an appropriate alloy for the CC bond cleavage in ethanol decomposition, but yet, it has not been studied in detail the reactivity of this alloy for this step. In this work, the reactivity of Pt₃Re₁ surface for the CC bond cleavage is studied and compared with pure metal surfaces Pt and Re, using chemical descriptors through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption energies of CHCO, CO and CH molecules are the chemical descriptors investigated and the results are analyzed with respect to the electronic structure of the surface in order to understand the nature of the active sites. It is found that the addition of Re to Pt leads to form an active site with a Re atom, which is more reactive for the CC bond cleavage in CHCO, but the sites without Re become less reactive for this step. Then the addition of Re to Pt has not a significant effect on the promotion of full oxidation of ethanol, since not all sites at the Pt₃Re₁ surface are more active towards CC bond cleavage.
Density functional theory calculations of hydrogen dissociative adsorption on platinum-involved alloy surfaces
2016, Surface and Coatings Technology
Density functional theory calculations of the H₂ molecule over the Pt(111), Pt₄Pd₅(111), Pt₃Ir₆(111), and Pt₈Ru₁(111) surfaces were carried out to derive key properties involving interactions and electronic state of each atom. From the calculations, H₂ dissociative adsorption shows the lowest barrier in case of the Pt₃Ir₆(111) surface. Pt₄Pd₅(111) and Pt₈Ru₁(111) surfaces show a small energy barrier, while the Cu(111) surface is the highest energy barrier. The difference in the reactivity of H₂ molecule with the surface is pointed out by the differences in the valence electron configuration of approaching hydrogen which is also verified from the density of state curve. The electronic structure plots illustrate the substituted atoms can interact with molecular H₂ projected on the surface d-orbital.
The use of bimetallics to control the selectivity for the upgrading of lignin-derived oxygenates: Reaction of anisole on Pt and PtZn catalysts
2016, Journal of Catalysis
The adsorption and reaction of anisole on Pt and PtZn catalysts were investigated using both model single crystal and high surface area supported metal catalysts. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) studies of the interaction of anisole with Pt(1 1 1) demonstrated that there is a strong interaction between the phenyl ring of anisole and the surface, resulting in CO and CH bond scission at relatively low temperatures. In contrast, anisole was observed to bond to a Zn-modified Pt(1 1 1) surface primarily via the oxygen at Zn sites or possibly adjacent Pt sites, with the phenyl ring tilted away from the surface. Such bonding configuration facilitated selective CO bond cleavage producing phenyl groups and methoxide groups with the latter being bonded to the Zn sites. These results suggested that PtZn may be an effective catalyst for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived aromatic oxygenates with low activity for ring hydrogenation. This hypothesis was then tested and verified by investigating the reaction of anisole and H₂ over high surface area carbon-supported Pt and PtZn catalysts.
Lignin-derived oxygenate reforming on a bimetallic surface: The reaction of benzaldehyde on Zn/Pt(111)
2016, Surface Science
Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) were used to characterize the adsorption and reaction of benzaldehyde (C₆H₅CHO) on hydrogen-covered Pt(111) and Zn-modified Pt(111) surfaces. Benzaldehyde was found to interact with Pt(111) via both the phenyl ring and carbonyl of the aldehyde group. This bonding configuration facilitates unselective decomposition of the benzaldehyde to produce CO, H₂, and small hydrocarbon fragments at relatively low temperatures. On the other hand, benzaldehyde was found to bond to Zn-decorated Pt(111) surface exclusively via the carbonyl group in an η₂(C, O) configuration, with the phenyl ring tilted away from the surface. This configuration weakens CO bond in the carbonyl facilitating its cleavage and helps prevent hydrogenation of the phenyl ring.
