Title: Enhancing Dissociative Adsorption of Water on Cu(111) via Chemisorbed Oxygen

Abstract

We have used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study the dehydrogenation of H₂O molecules on the clean and oxygenated Cu(111) surfaces. The clean surface does not show reactivity toward H₂O dehydrogenation. By contrast, H₂O molecules on the oxygenated Cu(111) dissociate into OH species by reacting with chemisorbed oxygen until the complete consumption of the chemisorbed oxygen at which the surface loses its reactivity toward H₂O dehydrogenation. Increasing the temperature to 200 °C and above decreases molecularly adsorbed H₂O for dehydrogenation, thereby resulting in less loss of chemisorbed O. In conjunction with density-functional theory calculations, a three-step reaction pathway is proposed to account for the chemisorbed O assisted dehydrogenation of H₂O molecules and the net loss of surface oxygen. Finally, these results provide insight into understanding the elemental steps of the dehydrogenation of H₂O molecules and the controllable conditions for tuning H₂O dissociation on metal surfaces.

CO Oxidation on Inverse CeOx/Cu(111) Catalysts: High Catalytic Activity and Ceria-Promoted Dissociation of O2

Journal Article Yang, F ; Graciani, J ; Evans, J ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

A Cu(111) surface displays a low activity for the oxidation of carbon monoxide (2CO + O{sub 2} {yields} 2CO{sub 2}). Depending on the temperature, background pressure of O{sub 2}, and the exposure time, one can get chemisorbed O on Cu(111) or a layer of Cu{sub 2}O that may be deficient in oxygen. The addition of ceria nanoparticles (NPs) to Cu(111) substantially enhances interactions with the O{sub 2} molecule and facilitates the oxidation of the copper substrate. In images of scanning tunneling microscopy, ceria NPs exhibit two overlapping honeycomb-type moire structures, with the larger ones (H{sub 1}) having a periodicity ofmore »« less

Methanol adsorption and decomposition on oxygen-precovered rhodium(111)

Journal Article Solymosi, F ; Tarnoczi, T I ; Berko, A - J. Phys. Chem.; (United States)

The adsorption, desorption, and reaction of methanol on oxygen-covered Rh(111) surfaces have been studied under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) by using Auger electron, electron energy loss (in the electronic range), and thermal desorption spectroscopy. In the presence of oxygen adatoms the surface concentration of chemisorbed methanol increased, as indicated by the enhancement of the losses at 13.7-13.9 and 12.1-11 eV, and by the increased amount of decomposition products of chemisorbed species at higher temperature. It is proposed that the role of adsorbed oxygen is to promote the dissociative adsorption of CH/sub 3/OH by forming a strong O-H bond which hinders themore »« less

Dissociation of water on oxygen-covered Rh(111)

Journal Article Shavorskiy, A ; Eralp, T ; Held, G ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

The adsorption of water and coadsorption with oxygen on Rh(111) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions was studied using synchrotron-based photoemission and photoabsorption spectroscopy. Water adsorbs intact on the clean surface at temperatures below 154 K. Irradiation with x-rays, however, induces fast dissociation and the formation of a mixed OH+H{sub 2}O layer indicating that the partially dissociated layer is thermodynamically more stable. Coadsorption of water and oxygen at a coverage below 0.3 monolayers has a similar effect, leading to the formation of a hydrogen-bonded network of water and hydroxyl molecules at a ratio of 3:2. The partially dissociated layers are more stablemore »« less

Methanol adsorption and decomposition on clean and oxygen precovered palladium (111)

Journal Article Gates, J A ; Kesmodel, L L - J. Catal.; (United States)

The interaction of methanol with palladium (111) (Pd(111)) has been studied using high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). A chemisorbed and a physisorbed phase are found on the surface at 140 K. Desorption of the physisorbed phase occurs by 160 K and approximately 90% of the chemisorbed layer desorbs by 300 K. Exposure to methanol at 300 K causes dissociation to chemisorbed CO. Decomposition of chemisorbed methanol to a methoxy species occurs near 200 K in the presence of a preadsorbed p(2 x 2) oxygen layer whereas no methoxy is detected on the clean surface. Further dehydrogenation to CO ismore »« less
