“…On the other hand, Pt has a lower propensity for NO dissociation, thus leads to lower N 2 selectivity, but is not as susceptible to oxygen poisoning as Rh is [13,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. In this respect Rh and Pt are complementary and it is easy to understand why positive potentials which weaken the metal-O chemisorptive bond [13,21,22], favour the reduction of NO on Rh (electrophobic behaviour) [13,21,22] while negative potentials which enhance NO dissociation favour the reduction of NO on Pt (electrophilic behaviour) [13,21,22].…”
