TLDR
In this paper, the application of hydrogen chemisorption to the measurement of metal surface areas is discussed and the results are interpreted in terms of reversibility of adsorption and interactions of hydrogen with metal oxides present on or near metal crystallites.
Abstract
This paper emphasizes concepts and fundamentals relating to the kinetics, energetics, and stoichiometries of adsorption of hydrogen on supported cobalt, iron and nickel, with emphasis on nickel. Relationships between catalyst and adsorption properties and the application of hydrogen chemisorption to the measurement of metal surface areas are discussed. Evidence is presented for nonstoichiometric adsorption of hydrogen on supported metals and the results are interpreted in terms (i) reversibility of adsorption and (ii) interactions of hydrogen with metal oxides present on or near metal crystallites. Contamination of the metal surface by support moieties can cause (i) the appearance of new adsorption states of hydrogen at higher binding energies and (ii) an increase in the adsorption activation energy for hydrogen which can lead to severe kinetic limitations in the adsorption process. Precalcination treatments and promoters such as potassium also cause the appearance of new high temperature adsorption states and significantly increase the adsorption activation energy for hydrogen.

Mechanisms of catalyst deactivation

TL;DR: The literature treating mechanisms of catalyst deactivation is reviewed in this paper, which can be classified into six distinct types: (i) poisoning, (ii) fouling, (iii) thermal degradation, (iv) vapor compound formation accompanied by transport, (v) vapor solid and/or solid solid reactions, and (vi) attrition/crushing.

Heterogeneous Catalyst Deactivation and Regeneration: A Review

TL;DR: In this article, a review on deactivation and regeneration of heterogeneous catalysts classifies deactivation by type (chemical, thermal, and mechanical) and by mechanism (poisoning, fouling, thermal degradation, vapor formation, vapor-solid and solid-solid reactions, and attrition/crushing).

Cooperativity and Dynamics Increase the Performance of NiFe Dry Reforming Catalysts

TL;DR: Owing to the high activity of the material and the absence of any XRD signature of FeO, it is very likely that FeO is formed as small domains of a few atom layer thickness covering a fraction of the surface of the Ni-rich particles, ensuring a close proximity of the carbon removal (FeO) and methane activation (Ni).

Temperature-Programmed Desorption and Reaction: Applications to Supported Catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, a temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) experiment on a supported metal catalyst is described, where a small amount of catalyst (10-200 mg) is contained in a reactor that can be heated by a furnace.
