Infrared spectroscopy coupled with adsorption of probe molecules such as CO and NO was used to investigate the surface adsorption properties of reduced Ru and Ru-Pt/NaY catalysts. CO adsorption at room temperature on the monometallic catalyst yielded three main bands at 2145, 2088, and 2031 cm -1 , which were assigned to CO bonded on Ru-oxidized species in close interaction with the support, a carbonyl cluster compound with Ru atoms highly coordinated with CO molecules, and CO linearly bonded on Ru 0 particles, respectively. They were not thermally stable and moved around between 1843 and 1881 cm -1 as the temperature was increased. This new band was attributed to CO bonded in a bridge form on two Ru 0 atoms, the metal being in a different dispersion state when compared to the just-reduced catalyst. The same three bands were observed for CO adsorption on the bimetallic catalyst, in addition to the 2074 cm -1 band, which was attributed to CO linearly bonded to Pt 0 . As the temperature was raised, no CO was bonded to the bridge form on two Ru 0 atoms, probably due to the geometric effect of the presence of the second metal. NO can partially replace the CO preadsorbed species on RuNaY and Ru-PtNaY catalysts. Bands at 1943 and 1889 cm -1 were observed and were attributed to the NO chemisorbed on Ru n+ and Ru 0 , respectively. Meanwhile, CO cannot displace the strongly adsorbed NO species preadsorbed on the two catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
