Here, the adsorption of enantiopure versus racemic propylene oxide (PO) on Pd(111) is studied by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) to explore possible differences in their saturation coverage. It is found that that the saturation coverage of enantiopure PO on Pd(111) is identical to that of racemic PO, in contrast to results on Pt(111) where significant coverage differences were found. The surface structures of enantiopure PO on Pd(111) were characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), which shows the formation of linear chains and hexagonal structures proposed to be due to freely rotating PO, in contrast to the relatively disordered PO overlayers found on Pt(111). STM experiments were carried out for enantiopure glycidol, which contains the same epoxy ring as PO, but where the methyl group of propylene oxide is replaced by a -CH ₂OH group to provide a hydrogen-bonding sites. Glycidol STM images show the formation of completely different surface structures; at low coverages, glycidol forms pseudohexagonal structures which assemble from glycidol dimers, while at high coverages the surface shows extensive hydrogen-bonded networks. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to model the enantiopure PO linear chain and the glycidol dimers that are observed by STM. Similar calculations were carried outmore »

Adlayer structure dependent ultrafast desorption dynamics in carbon monoxide adsorbed on Pd (111)

Journal Article Hong, Sung -Young ; Xu, Pan ; Camillone, Nina R. ; ... July 2016 - Journal of Chemical Physics

Here, we report our ultrafast photoinduced desorption investigation of the coverage dependence of substrate–adsorbate energy transfer in carbon monoxide adlayers on the (111) surface of palladium. As the CO coverage is increased, the adsorption site population shifts from all threefold hollows (up to 0.33 ML), to bridge and near bridge (>0.5 to 0.6 ML) and finally to mixed threefold hollow plus top site (at saturation at 0.75 ML). We show that between 0.24 and 0.75 ML this progression of binding site motifs is accompanied by two remarkable features in the ultrafast photoinduced desorption of the adsorbates: (i) the desorption probabilitymore »« less

Water dissociative adsorption on NiO(111): Energetics and structure of the hydroxylated surface

Journal Article Zhao, Wei ; Bajdich, Michal ; Carey, Spencer ; ... September 2016 - ACS Catalysis

The energetics of the reactions of water with metal oxide surfaces are of tremendous interest for catalysis, electrocatalysis, and geochemistry, yet the energy for the dissociative adsorption of water was only previously measured on one well-defined oxide surface, iron oxide. In the present paper, the enthalpy of the dissociative adsorption of water is measured on NiO(111)-2 × 2 at 300 K using single-crystal adsorption calorimetry. The differential heat of dissociative adsorption decreases with coverage from 170 to 117 kJ/mol in the first 0.25 ML of coverage. Water adsorbs molecularly on top of that, with a heat of ~92 kJ/mol.

Formic Acid Dissociative Adsorption on NiO(111): Energetics and Structure of Adsorbed Formate

Journal Article Zhao, Wei ; Doyle, Andrew D. ; Morgan, Sawyer E. ; ... November 2017 - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Here, the dissociative adsorption of carboxylic acids on oxide surfaces is important for understanding adsorbed carboxylates, which are important as intermediates in catalytic reactions, for the organo-functionalization of oxide surfaces, and in many other aspects of oxide surface chemistry. We present here the first direct experimental measurement of the heat of dissociative adsorption of any carboxylic acid on any single-crystal oxide surface. The enthalpy of the dissociative adsorption of formic acid, the simplest carboxylic acid, to produce adsorbed formate and hydrogen (as a surface hydroxyl) on a (2 × 2)-NiO(111) surface is measured by single crystal adsorption calorimetry.

Structure sensitivity in oxide catalysis: First-principles kinetic Monte Carlo simulations for CO oxidation at RuO ₂(111)

Journal Article Wang, Tongyu ; Reuter, Karsten November 2015 - Journal of Chemical Physics

We present a density-functional theory based kinetic Monte Carlo study of CO oxidation at the (111) facet of RuO ₂. We compare the detailed insight into elementary processes, steady-state surface coverages, and catalytic activity to equivalent published simulation data for the frequently studied RuO ₂(110) facet. Qualitative differences are identified in virtually every aspect ranging from binding energetics over lateral interactions to the interplay of elementary processes at the different active sites. Nevertheless, particularly at technologically relevant elevated temperatures, near-ambient pressures and near-stoichiometric feeds both facets exhibit almost identical catalytic activity. As a result, these findings challenge the traditional definitionmore »« less

Hydrogenation of CO ₂ on ZnO/Cu(100) and ZnO/Cu(111) Catalysts: Role of Copper Structure and Metal–Oxide Interface in Methanol Synthesis

Journal Article Palomino, Robert M. ; Ramirez, Pedro J. ; Liu, Zongyuan ; ... August 2017 - Journal of Physical Chemistry. B, Condensed Matter, Materials, Surfaces, Interfaces and Biophysical Chemistry

The results of kinetic tests and ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) show the important role played by a ZnO–copper interface in the generation of CO and the synthesis of methanol from CO ₂ hydrogenation. The deposition of nanoparticles of ZnO on Cu(100) and Cu(111), θ _oxi < 0.3 monolayer, produces highly active catalysts. The catalytic activity of these systems increases in the sequence: Cu(111) < Cu(100) < ZnO/Cu(111) < ZnO/Cu(100). The structure of the copper substrate influences the catalytic performance of a ZnO–copper interface. Furthermore, size and metal–oxide interactions affect the chemical and catalytic properties of the oxide making themore »« less
