Title: Hydroxylation of ZnO/Cu(1 1 1) inverse catalysts under ambient water vapor and the water–gas shift reaction

Abstract

© 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. The interaction of water vapor with ZnO/CuOx/Cu(1 1 1) surfaces was investigated using synchrotron-based ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Cu(1 1 1) does not dissociate the water molecule. Cleavage of O-H bonds was seen with AP-XPS after depositing ZnO or preparing CuOx on the copper substrate. The results of DFT calculations show unique behavior for ZnO/CuOx/Cu(1 1 1), not seen on Cu(1 1 1), CuOx/Cu(1 1 1) or ZnO(0 0 0). The ZnO/CuOx/Cu(1 1 1) system binds water quite well and exhibits the lowest energy barrier for O-H bond cleavage. The presence of unsaturated Zn cations in the islands of ZnO led to high chemical reactivity. In order to remove the OH from ZnO/CuOx/Cu(1 1 1) and ZnO/Cu(1 1 1) surfaces, heating to elevated temperatures was necessary. At 500-600 K, a significant coverage of OH groups was still present on the surfaces and did react with CO during the water-gas shift (WGS) process. The final state of the sample depended strongly on the amount of ZnO present on the catalyst surface. For surfaces with a ZnO coverage below 0.3 ML, the adsorption of water did not change the integritymore » of the ZnO islands. On the other hand, for surfaces with a ZnO coverage above 0.3 ML, a ZnO → ZnxOH transformation was observed. This transformation led to a decrease in the WGS catalytic activity.« less
