Adhesion Energies of Solvent Films to Pt(111) and Ni(111) Surfaces by Adsorption Calorimetry
Abstract
Solvent/metal adhesion energies are vital to understanding solvent effects on adsorption energies, which are, in turn, central to understanding liquid-phase catalysis, electrocatalysis, and many other technologies such as adsorption-based separations and chemical sensors. Differences in reactant adsorption energies in different solvents are dominated by differences in their solvent/metal adhesion energies. Here, the adhesion energies of five liquid solvents to clean Pt(111) and Ni(111) surfaces have been estimated using ultrahigh vacuum calorimetric measurements of heats of adsorption versus coverage integrated from zero coverage up to thick (bulk-like) multilayer solid films. The adhesion energies are found to vary from 0.15 to 0.60 J/m2, increasing in the trend CH3OH < HCOOH < H2O < benzene ≈ phenol. This trend suggests that solvents with higher heats of adsorption per unit area in the first adsorbed layer have higher adhesion energies to a given metal surface. The adhesion energies to Ni(111) are generally larger than to Pt(111) (on average by 0.09 J/m2). This is due to the 24% higher number of metal atoms per unit area on Ni(111) than on Pt(111) and, with oxygen-containing solvents, the greater oxophilicity of Ni compared to that of Pt.
