The infrared (IR) chemiluminescence spectra of CO2 molecules were measured during the steady-state CO oxidation over Pt(110) and Pt(111) surfaces. Analysis of the IR emission spectra indicates that the bending vibrational temperature (TV B), as well as the antisymmetric vibrational temperature (TV AS), was higher on Pt(110) than on Pt(111). On the Pt(110) surface, the highly excited bending vibrational mode compared to the antisymmetric vibrational mode was observed under reaction conditions at low CO coverage (θCO 0.2) or at high surface temperatures (TS 700 K). This can be related to the activated complex of CO2 formation in a more bent form on the declined (111) terraces of the Pt(110)(1 2) structure. On the other hand, at high CO coverage (θCO 0.2) or at low surface temperatures (TS 650 K), TV AS was higher than TV B , which can be caused by the reconstruction of the Pt(110)(1 2) surface to the (1 1) form with high CO coverage.
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.
