Journal ArticleDOI
Ruthenium catalysts for ammonia synthesis at high pressures: Preparation, characterization, and power-law kinetics
TL;DR: In this paper, two non-aqueous methods based on alkali carbonates were used to achieve alkali promotion resulting in long-term and high-temperature stable catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging of spatio-temporal pattern evolution during carbon monoxide oxidation on platinum
TL;DR: In this article, an unexpectedly rich variety of self-sustained spatio-temporal patterns were observed by continuous imaging (on a timescale of ≳ 1 ms) of the surfaces using a newly developed, photoemission electron microscope.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular beam investigation of the interactions of CO with a Pt(111) surface
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured CO adsorbs on clean Pt(111) with an angular and temperature-independent sticking coefficient of 0.84 ± 0.05, where the coverage-dependence of the adsorption rate can be fitted by a precursor state model, where a weak adaption state for CO existing in the presence of pre-adsorbed CO plays the major role.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interaction of CO and Pt(100). I. Mechanism of adsorption and Pt phase transition
TL;DR: In this article, the CO/Pt(100) system was investigated and the mechanism of the adsorbate-induced Pt phase transition was explained, where the CO molecules occupied on top adsorption sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of the CO-induced 1×2→1×1 structural transformation of Pt(110)
TL;DR: Analyse par microscopie tunnel a balayage de la reconstruction de CO, la mobilite superficielle conduit a la formation d'ilots fortement anisotropes plus larges provoquent le deplacement lateral des chaines les plus longues.
