The role of a solid surface for initiating gas-phase reactions is still not well understood. The hydrogen atom (H) is an important intermediate in gas-phase ethane dehydrogenation and is known to interact with surface sites on catalysts. However, direct measurements of H near catalytic surfaces have not yet been reported. Here, we present the first H measurements by laser-induced fluorescence in the gas-phase above catalytic and noncatalytic surfaces. Measurements at temperatures up to 700 °C show H concentrations to be at the highest above inert quartz surfaces compared to stainless steel and a platinum-based catalyst. Additionally, H concentrations above the catalyst decreased rapidly with time on stream. Furthermore, these newly obtained observations are consistent with the recently reported differences in bulk ethane dehydrogenation reactivity of these materials, suggesting H may be a good reporter for dehydrogenation activity.
