Journal ArticleDOI
The selective oxidation of CH3OH to H2CO on a copper(110) catalyst
Israel E. Wachs,Robert J. Madix +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde by flash decomposition spectroscopy on a single crystal of a Cu(110) single crystal.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of carbon, oxygen, sulfur and potassium adlayers on CO and H2 adsorption on Fe(100)
TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption and desorption of CO and hydrogen was studied on clean Fe(100) and Fe (100) with adiayers of carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and potassium using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) using XPS, and the activation energy for dissociation was estimated to be 105 kJ/mole.
Journal ArticleDOI
The oxidation of methanol on a silver (110) catalyst
Israel E. Wachs,Robert J. Madix +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-crystal Ag(110) surface was preoxidized with oxygen-18, and deuterated methanol, CH3OD, was used to distinguish the hydroxyl hydrogen from the methyl hydrogens.
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
O2 Activation by Metal Surfaces: Implications for Bonding and Reactivity on Heterogeneous Catalysts
TL;DR: Trends in the activation of O2 on transition metal surfaces are discussed, and various O2 adsorption states are described in terms of both electronic structure and geometry.
