Title

Fundamental studies on the influence of defects and coadsorbates on adsorption of H2O and H2 on platinum

Abstract

Defects have been known to alter the chemical reactivity of surfaces [1, 2]. While theoretical studies predict trends [3], systematic experimental studies for nanostructured surfaces are sparse.

To start, I review our results on the influence of surface structure on the adsorption of H2O on platinum obtained using a series of Pt single crystals. I discuss how the two most common step types influence the adsorption of water and address how Hads and Oads alter the interaction.

Subsequently, I discuss how curved single crystal surfaces allow for probing the influence of different types of defects with a continuous variation of defect density. We use STM and LEED, AES, TPD, RAIRS, and SMB techniques to study them with varying degrees of spatial resolution[4]. I show how it allows us to unravel fundamental problems in catalysis using H2 dissociation on platinum [5-6] as an example.
