Abstract

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has shown how both chemisorbed oxygen present at a Cu(III) surface and nitric oxide introduced into the gas phase can induce hydroxylation of the surface from an adlayer of molecularly adsorbed water at 80 K. The interaction of water vapour with a clean Cu(III) surface is also reported.

    The adsorption and dissociation of H2O on (1 1 1) surfaces of Cu, Au, Pt, Pd, and Ni had been discussed by Phatak et al. [41]. In addition, great efforts [42–50] have been devoted to the experimental and theoretical studies on the adsorption and dissociation of H2O involved in WGS reaction Cu catalysts. As mentioned above, for pure Pd and Pb-promoted Pd3Pb catalysts, although some surfaces had been selected to study O2 and H2O molecule, however, few studies have been systematically reported on the effect of surface structure of Pd and Pd3Pb catalysts on the mechanism of O2 and H2O activation due to the complexity of Pd and Pd3Pb catalysts.

  • Molecular and dissociative adsorption of water at a defective Cu(110) surface

    The water molecule often shows a preference for adsorption at the top sites—more open geometries—when compared with other surface sites which are more sterically hindered. We recall that for low index surfaces, according to theoretical [22,23,57–60] and experimental results [61–65], the adsorption strength of a single water molecule at the Cu surface increases as follows: (111)<(100)<(110)<(221)<(211)<(210). In the present case the adsorption energy of the single water molecule is less exergonic than that predicted for non-defective higher Miller index stepped surfaces.

    The high resolution spectrum of Br 3d also shows some atomic% of about 0.55 after adsorption of palladium. The O1s spectra peak at 531.23 corresponds to hydroxyl species [48,49] and the one at 533.18 eV could be due to the COH group [50]. The other two peaks at 529.32 and 535.04 eV could be assigned to the oxygen species [51] and molecularly adsorbed water [52].

    This is in agreement with an earlier study [14] where 100 L water was adsorbed at 77 K and all water desorbed when the Zn(0001) crystal was heated to 180 K. However, when the sample was preexposed to oxygen and then exposed to water at 77 K, hydroxyl groups were still present on the surface at ~ 500 K. The same type of behavior has been observed on Cu(111) [15–17]. Four spin-orbit split doublets are clearly visible in each of the S 2p spectra in Fig. 1 and their binding energies and relative area in percentage of the whole S 2p spectrum are listed in Table 1.
