Wx. Huang et al., Studies on the surface migration of adsorbed oxygen from noble metals to silver over binary catalysts, SURF INT AN, 32(1), 2001, pp. 179-182
Adsorbed oxygen migration from noble metals to silver was investigated on b
oth an Ag/Pt(110) model catalyst and Al2O3-supported Ag-Pd catalysts by pho
toelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) and oxygen temperature-programmed des
orption (TPD). On the CO-precovered Ag/Pt(110) surface, oxygen was observed
to diffuse from the Pt(110) surface to the Ag surface by PEEM. The diffusi
on of oxygen was coupled locally with a surface reaction of COad + O-ad, gi
ving rise to rapid propagation of the oxygen front. Migration of oxygen fro
m the Pd surface to the Ag surface was proved also by oxygen TPD experiment
s on Al2O3-supported Ag-Pd catalysts. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons,
