Book Design and Construction of a Polarization Modulated Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectrometer and Validation with Carbon Monoxide Adsorption on a Platinum  100  Surface

Download or read book Design and Construction of a Polarization Modulated Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectrometer and Validation with Carbon Monoxide Adsorption on a Platinum 100 Surface written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A polarization modulated infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) instrument was designed, constructed, and validated with CO adsorption on a Pt(100) surface. The instrument is attached to a reaction chamber which can accommodate pressures from 1*10 -9 Torr up to 760 Torr, to allow the study of model catalysts under a wide range of pressures, to cross the 'pressure gap' between most surface science methods and more common catalytic conditions. The system works as designed, with a signal to noise ratio slightly lower than the previous IRRAS system. It allows for studies at the same UHV conditions as previous literature, as well as conducting studies of the same model catalyst under significantly higher pressures. The Pt(100)/CO studies agree with previous literature at low pressures, and find no significant change at higher pressures. Increased pressure leads to a higher surface concentration, determined from a blue shift in the location of the CO atop peak from 2080 cm -1 to 2090 cm -1, but no new bands were observed.

Book Modeling and Simulation of Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions

Download or read book Modeling and Simulation of Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions written by Olaf Deutschmann and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2007 awarded to Gerhard Ertl for his groundbreaking studies in surface chemistry highlighted the importance of heterogeneous catalysis not only for modern chemical industry but also for environmental protection. Heterogeneous catalysis is seen as one of the key technologies which could solve the challenges associated with the increasing diversification of raw materials and energy sources. It is the decisive step in most chemical industry processes, a major method of reducing pollutant emissions from mobile sources and is present in fuel cells to produce electricity. The increasing power of computers over the last decades has led to modeling and numerical simulation becoming valuable tools in heterogeneous catalysis. This book covers many aspects, from the state-of-the-art in modeling and simulations of heterogeneous catalytic reactions on a molecular level to heterogeneous catalytic reactions from an engineering perspective. This first book on the topic conveys expert knowledge from surface science to both chemists and engineers interested in heterogeneous catalysis. The well-known and international authors comprehensively present many aspects of the wide bridge between surface science and catalytic technologies, including DFT calculations, reaction dynamics on surfaces, Monte Carlo simulations, heterogeneous reaction rates, reactions in porous media, electro-catalytic reactions, technical reactors, and perspectives of chemical and automobile industry on modeling heterogeneous catalysis. The result is a one-stop reference for theoretical and physical chemists, catalysis researchers, materials scientists, chemical engineers, and chemists in industry who would like to broaden their horizon and get a substantial overview on the different aspects of modeling and simulation of heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

Book In Situ Polarization Modulation Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopic and Kinetic Investigations of Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions

Download or read book In Situ Polarization Modulation Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopic and Kinetic Investigations of Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions written by Yun Cai and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A molecular-level understanding of a heterogeneous catalytic reaction is the key goal of heterogeneous catalysis. A surface science approach enables the realization of this goal. However, the working conditions (ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions) of traditional surface science techniques restrict the investigations of heterogeneous catalysis system under industrial working conditions (atmospheric pressures). Polarization Modulation Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy (PM-IRAS) can be operated in both UHV and atmospheric pressure conditions with a wide temperature span while providing high resolution (4 cm-1 is used in this dissertation) spectra. In this dissertation, PM-IRAS has been employed as a major technique to: 1) obtain both electronic and chemical information of catalysts from UHV to elevated pressure conditions; 2) explore reaction mechanisms by in situ monitoring surface species with concurrent kinetic measurements. In this dissertation, NO adsorption and dissociation on Rh(111) have been studied. Our PM-IRAS spectra show a transition of NO adsorption on three-fold hollow sites to atop sites occurs at low temperatures (

  • Author : Andrew Zangwill
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 1988-03-24
  • ISBN : 1316583260
  • Pages : 470 pages

Download or read book Physics at Surfaces written by Andrew Zangwill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-03-24 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics at Surfaces is a unique graduate-level introduction to the physics and chemical physics of solid surfaces, and atoms and molecules that interact with solid surfaces. A subject of keen scientific inquiry since the last century, surface physics emerged as an independent discipline only in the late 1960s as a result of the development of ultra-high vacuum technology and high speed digital computers. With these tools, reliable experimental measurements and theoretical calculations could at last be compared. Progress in the last decade has been truly striking. This volume provides a synthesis of the entire field of surface physics from the perspective of a modern condensed matter physicist with a healthy interest in chemical physics. The exposition intertwines experiment and theory whenever possible, although there is little detailed discussion of technique. This much-needed text will be invaluable to graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics, physical chemistry and materials science working in, or taking graduate courses in, surface science.
