Regeneration of Active Surface Alloys during Cyclic Oxidation and Reduction: Oxidation of H2 on Pd/Ag(111)

Journal Article · · Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters
The surface morphology and composition of a catalyst during excursions between oxidizing and reducing conditions can change substantially, especially in bimetallic alloys. Both thermodynamic and kinetic factors play a role in determining the properties of alloy surfaces where the active phase may be a metastable state. Previously, Ag oxide reduction was shown to be dramatically enhanced when Pd is on the surface; however, Pd is more stable when dissolved in Ag, raising the question as to whether a highly active Pd surface state will persist over multiple reaction cycles—a requirement for catalytic function. Experiments herein demonstrate that the enhanced chemical functionality due to the presence of Pd on the surface is retained, based on the enhanced rate of silver oxide reduction over multiple oxidation/reduction cycles for a Pd/Ag(111) model. Repeated oxidation and reduction promote PdAg alloying and reversible structural and compositional changes are detected using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, this study establishes that metastable phases can persist in reactive processes on surfaces, indicating their potential in heterogeneous catalysis.
