Characterization of Pt/SiO2 Model Catalysts at UHV and Near Atmospheric Press…

Abstract Pt/SiO2 model catalyst samples, prepared under UHV conditions in a contiguous high pressure reactor cell surface analysis chamber, have been characterized via CO oxidation reaction kinetics under elevated pressure conditions (approaching 1 atm). Reaction kinetics are studied as a function of Pt coverage (hPt = 1–10 mL), along with measurements on a Pt(110) single crystal for direc…
