Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Oxidation and Reduction of CuO and Cu2O Studied Using XPS and XAES
TL;DR: In this paper, the variation in surface composition of CuO and Cu2O with a variety of high-vacuum treatments, including vacuum annealing, oxidation and hydrogen reduction, was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pd/ZnO catalysts for direct CO2 hydrogenation to methanol
Hasliza Bahruji,Michael Bowker,Graham J. Hutchings,Nikolaos Dimitratos,Peter P. Wells,Emma K. Gibson,Wilm Jones,Catherine Brookes,David J. Morgan,G. Lalev +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two series of Pd/ZnO catalysts were used to investigate structure activity relationships for direct CO2 hydrogenation and the results illustrate the importance of controlling the PdZn particle size and its surface structure for the catalysts to achieve high methanol selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
XPS, UPS and thermal desorption studies of alcohol adsorption on Cu(110): I. Methanol
Michael Bowker,Robert J. Madix +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption of methanol on clean and oxygen dosed Cu(110) surfaces has been studied using temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS), ultra-violet photoelectron spectrographs (UPS) and X-ray photo electron spectrograms (XPS).
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanism of methanol synthesis on copper/zinc oxide/alumina catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with the adsorption and temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy of (i) formaldehyde on polycrystalline copper, poly-stalline zinc oxide and (ii) methanol on a copper/zinc oxide/alumina (60:30:10) catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen induced adsorption and reaction of H2, H2O, CO and CO2 on single crystal Ag(110)
TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption and reaction of H2, H2O, CO, and CO2 were examined on clean and oxygen-dosed Ag(110) surfaces.
