In this paper, a detailed investigation of the steady-state and nonsteady-state reaction CO+1/2O2→CO2 on Pd (111) has been carried out with the molecular beam technique.Abstract:
A detailed investigation of the steady‐state and nonsteady‐state reaction CO+1/2O2→CO2 on Pd (111) has been carried out with the molecular beam technique. It could be shown conclusively that the reaction proceeds between two adsorbed species (Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism) throughout the temperature and pressure range investigated. For low CO coverages, the activation energy of the reaction was determined to be 25 kcal/mole, whereas at moderate CO coverages, a rearrangement of the oxygen adlayer takes place resulting in a reduction of the activation energy to 14 kcal/mole. It is not possible to formulate a simple kinetic expression for the reaction rate which is valid over the entire range of temperatures and pressures due to changes in the adsorption rate for O2, coadsorption of CO and O2, to diffusion in the adlayer, and to changes in the geometrical arrangement within the adlayer with varying coverage.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the reaction of carbon monoxide catalyzed by Pt(111) using reactive molecular beam-surface scattering and showed that at low coverage, the reaction proceeds with an activation energy E*LH =24.1 kcal/mole and a pre-exponential υ4 =0.11 cm2 particles−1

TL;DR: The data and their theoretical and mechanistic interpretations indicate that the remarkable structure insensitivity observed for CO oxidation reactions reflects average CO binding properties that are essentially independent of cluster size.

Isotopic mixing in the oxidation of carbon monoxide on palladium
TL;DR: The room temperature reaction between carbon monoxide and oxygen-18 on palladium films produces nearly equal amounts of CO216 and CO16O18 in the early stages of the reaction, with CO218 being produced at a much lower rate as mentioned in this paper.
