Title: X-ray photoemission analysis of clean and carbon monoxide-chemisorbed platinum(111) stepped surfaces using a curved crystal

Abstract

Relevant gas-surface reactions exhibit complex kinetics. Reaction yields and selectivity could significantly improve through new studies based on the systematic variation of surface active sites, tested under the very same conditions. Here we propose curved crystals as the best platform to perform such systematics, which in turn allow one to better resolve fundamental surface properties and to reveal new phenomena. Suchability is demonstrated here in the model CO/Pt system. We curve a Pt crystal around the high-symmetry (111) direction and carry out photoemission scans on top. This renders the spatial core-level imaging of CO adsorbed on a ”tunable” vicinal surface, allowing a straightforward visualization of the rich phenomenology of CO chemisorption at steps and terraces. Through such photoemission images one c an probe a characteristic elastic strain variation at stepped surfaces, and unveil a subtle stress-release effect on clean and CO-adsorbed vicinal planes. Finally, these results o ff er the prospect of applying the curved surface approach to rationally investigate the catalytic activity of surfaces under real pressure conditions.

Two-Photon Photoemission Study of the Coverage-Dependent Electronic Structure of Chemisorbed Alkali Atoms on a Ag(111) Surface

Journal Article Wang, Lei-Ming; Sametoglu, Vahit; Winkelmann, Aimo; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 115(34):9479-9484

We report a systematic investigation of the electronic structure of chemisorbed alkali atoms (Li-Cs) on a Ag(111) surface by two-photon photoemission spectroscopy. Angle-resolved two-photon photoemission spectra are obtained for 0-0.1 monolayer coverage of alkali atoms. The interfacial electronic structure as a function of periodic properties and the coverage of alkali atoms is observed and interpreted assuming ionic adsorbate/substrate interaction. The energy of the alkali atom σ-resonance at the limit of zero coverage is primarily determined by the image charge interaction, whereas at finite alkali atom coverages, it follows the formation of a dipolar surface field. The coverage- and angle-dependent two-photonmore »« less

Infrared spectroscopic detection of CO formed at step and terrace sites on a corrugated electrode surface plane during methanol oxidation

Journal Article Shin, J; Korzeniewski, C - Journal of Physical Chemistry

A platinum single crystal electrode with ordered step and terrace structures was used to probe site-dependent aspects of methanol surface chemistry. Infrared spectral features of the adsorbed CO reaction intermediate were measured in parallel experiments with Pt(335) (Pt(s)-[4(111) x (100)]) and Pt(111) electrodes. Experiments confirm that methanolic CO formation is inhibited at Pt(111) at potentials in the hydrogen adsorption region, and they reveal that methanol dissociative chemisorption proceeds to a limited extent in this potential region at the corrugated Pt(335) surface plane, where independent vibrational spectral features for CO at step and terrace sites were detected. 42 refs., 3 figs.

Coadsorbate Induced Reconstruction of a Stepped Pt(111) Surface by Sulfur and CO: A Novel Surface Restructuring Mechanism Observed by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

Journal Article Batteas, J; Dunphy, J; Somorjai, G; ... - Physical Review Letters

The chemisorption of sulfur and CO was found to have profound effects on the structure of s stepped platinum surface. By itself, sulfur chemisorbs, forming a {ital p}(2{times}2) ordered structure, and destabilizes the step structure by inducing doubling of the terrace widths and step heights. Subsequent coadsorption of CO displaces the sulfur, compressing it to distances of {radical}3 times the Pt lattice spacing. In addition to displacing S, CO enhances Pt atom diffusion from the double heights steps, restructuring the surface by forming new terraces separated by monatomic height steps. These new terraces contain exclusively CO, while the compressed sulfurmore »« less

Step-doubling at Vicinal Ni(111) Surfaces Investigated with a Curved Crystal

Journal Article Ilyn, Max; Magana, Ana; Walter, Andrew; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Here, vicinal surfaces may undergo structural transformations as a function of temperature or in the presence of adsorbates. Step-doubling, in which monatomic steps pair up forming double-atom high staircases, is the simplest example. Here we investigate the case of Ni(111) using a curved crystal surface, which allows us to explore the occurrence of step-doubling as a function of temperature and vicinal plane (miscut α and step type). We find a striking A-type ({100}-like microfacets) versus B-type ({111}-like) asymmetry towards step-doubling. The terrace-width distribution analysis performed from Scanning Tunneling Microscopy data points to elastic step interactions overcoming entropic effects at verymore »« less

Break-Up of Stepped Platinum Catalyst Surfaces by High CO Coverage

Journal Article Tao, F.; Dag, S.; Wang, L.; ... - Science

Stepped single-crystal surfaces are viewed as models of real catalysts, which consist of small metal particles exposing a large number of low-coordination sites. We found that stepped platinum (Pt) surfaces can undergo extensive and reversible restructuring when exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) at pressures above 0.1 torr. Scanning tunneling microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy studies under gaseous environments near ambient pressure at room temperature revealed that as the CO surface coverage approaches 100%, the originally flat terraces of (557) and (332) oriented Pt crystals break up into nanometer-sized clusters and revert to the initial morphology after pumping out the CO gas.more »« less
