Results are presented on the study of the decomposition of formic acid on the TiO{sub 2}(110) surface using several techniques including temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), static secondary ion mass spectrometry (SSIMS), and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). The results reveal that the decomposition of formic acid on TiO{sub 2}(110) is complex and cannot adequately be described by a simple dehydration mechanism. 28 refs., 15 figs.
