Particle size and support effects in NO adsorption on model Pt and Rh catalysts

  • 1. Pittsburgh Univ., PA (United States). Dept. of Chemical Engineering

Description

The adsorption of NO on Rh particles supported on ZrO2 (100) and α-Al2O3(0001) and on Pt particles supported on CeO2, α-Al2O3(0001), and the Zn- and O-polar surfaces of ZnO(0001) has been studied using temperature programmed desorption (TPD). For Rh, the support affected the stability of the metal films and the final particle size but made no observable changes in NO adsorption properties. However, the TPD curves were found to be strongly dependent on the particle size for Rh. A low-temperature N2 feature which is observed on bulk metals and large particles was not seen with small Rh particles. For Pt, both support composition and particle size influenced the TPD results. The results for CeO2 and α-Al2O3(0001) were essentially identical, and the changes in the NO TPD curves appear to be due to particle size only. The implications of these results on particle size and support effects in NO reduction catalysis will be discussed
