摘要

NO dissociation and subsequent N-2 production in the presence of co-adsorbed (SO2)-O-18 and D-2 on the surface of stepped Pt(332) were studied using Fourier transform infra red reflection-absorption spectroscopy (FTIR-RAS) combined with thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). Reduction of NO by D (D-2 is adsorbed dissociatively on Pt surfaces) proceeds to a limited extent, because this reaction is rate-controlled by NO dissociation and the supply of D atoms at the higher surface temperatures at which NO dissociation becomes significant (350 K and higher). NO-D reaction is suppressed in the presence Of (SO2)-O-18, depending significantly on the (SO2)-O-18 coverage and the competition between the reactions NO-D and (SO2)-O-18-D. When the supply of D-2 is limited, e.g., 0.1 L in this study, the presence Of (SO2)-O-18 suppresses the NO-D reaction. With a sufficient supply of D-2, e.g., 0.4 L and higher, D-atom competing reactions do not play a role any more because the reactions of both NO and (SO2)-O-18 with D proceed only to a very limited extent. As such, generation of O atoms from (SO2)-O-18 dissociation is the main reaction that leads to the suppression in NO dissociation and consequently, N-2 production. It is also concluded that the presence of (SO2)-O-18 does not seriously poison the active sites on the Pt surface, providing that there is a sufficient D supply to remove O atoms from both NO dissociation and (SO2)-O-18 dissociation.
