K. Hadjiivanov et H. Knozinger, Species formed after NO adsorption and NO+O-2 co-adsorption on TiO2: an FTIR spectroscopic study, PHYS CHEM P, 2(12), 2000, pp. 2803-2806
Adsorption of NO and its co-adsorption with oxygen on TiO2 (Degussa P-25) w
ere studied by FTIR spectroscopy. It was found that NO adsorption results i
n its disproportionation to NO- (1170 cm(-1)), N2O22- (1335 cm(-1)) and nit
rates (1650-1550 and 1240-1220 cm(-1)). The nitrate bands develop with time
and coordinated NO (ca. 1900 cm(-1)) is formed. Addition of oxygen to NO r
esults in a strong increase in concentration of the nitrates and formation
of NO+ (2206 cm(-1)). In addition, species assigned to nitrocomplexes (1520
and 1284 cm(-1)) are found. The stability and reactivity of the different
surface compounds as well as their interconversion are studied and discusse
