A Polycrystalline Pd Surface Studied by Two-Dimensional Surface Optical Reflectance during CO Oxidation: Bridging the Materials Gap. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:444-453. [PMID: 38109219 PMCID: PMC10788831 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c11341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
Industrial catalysts are complex materials systems operating in harsh environments. The active parts of the catalysts are nanoparticles that expose different facets with different surface orientations at which the catalytic reactions occur. However, these facets are close to impossible to study in detail under industrially relevant operating conditions. Instead, simpler model systems, such as single crystals with a well-defined surface orientation, have been successfully used to study gas-surface interactions such as adsorption and desorption, surface oxidation, and oxidation/reduction reactions. To more closely mimic the many facets exhibited by nanoparticles and thereby close the so-called materials gap, there has also been a recent move toward using polycrystalline surfaces and curved crystals. However, these studies are limited either by the pressure or spatial resolution at realistic pressures or by the number of surfaces studied simultaneously. In this work, we demonstrate the use of reflectance microscopy to study a vast number of catalytically active surfaces simultaneously under realistic and identical reaction conditions. As a proof of concept, we have conducted an operando experiment to study CO oxidation over a Pd polycrystal, where the polycrystalline surface acts as a collection of many single-crystal surfaces. Finally, we visualized the resulting data by plotting the reflectivity as a function of surface orientation. We think the techniques and visualization methods introduced in this work will be key toward bridging the materials gap in catalysis.

Abstract
The development of new catalyst materials for energy-efficient chemical synthesis is critical as over 80% of industrial processes rely on catalysts, with many of the most energy-intensive processes specifically using heterogeneous catalysis. Catalytic performance is a complex interplay of phenomena involving temperature, pressure, gas composition, surface composition, and structure over multiple length and time scales. In response to this complexity, the integrated approach to heterogeneous dilute alloy catalysis reviewed here brings together materials synthesis, mechanistic surface chemistry, reaction kinetics, in situ and operando characterization, and theoretical calculations in a coordinated effort to develop design principles to predict and improve catalytic selectivity. Dilute alloy catalysts─in which isolated atoms or small ensembles of the minority metal on the host metal lead to enhanced reactivity while retaining selectivity─are particularly promising as selective catalysts. Several dilute alloy materials using Au, Ag, and Cu as the majority host element, including more recently introduced support-free nanoporous metals and oxide-supported nanoparticle "raspberry colloid templated (RCT)" materials, are reviewed for selective oxidation and hydrogenation reactions. Progress in understanding how such dilute alloy catalysts can be used to enhance selectivity of key synthetic reactions is reviewed, including quantitative scaling from model studies to catalytic conditions. The dynamic evolution of catalyst structure and composition studied in surface science and catalytic conditions and their relationship to catalytic function are also discussed, followed by advanced characterization and theoretical modeling that have been developed to determine the distribution of minority metal atoms at or near the surface. The integrated approach demonstrates the success of bridging the divide between fundamental knowledge and design of catalytic processes in complex catalytic systems, which can accelerate the development of new and efficient catalytic processes.

Abstract
Using grazing incidence X-rays and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy during the mass transfer limited catalytic oxidation of CO, the long-range surface structure of Pd(100) was investigated. Under the reaction conditions of 50:4 O2 to CO, 300 mbar pressure, and temperatures between 200 and 450 °C, the surface structure resulting from oxidation and the subsequent oxide reduction was elucidated. The reduction cycle was halted, and while under reaction conditions, angle-dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy close to the critical angle of Pd and modeling of the data was performed. Two proposed models for the system were compared. The suggestion with the metallic islands formed on top of the oxide island was shown to be consistent with the data.

Abstract
Catalysts are materials that accelerate the rate of a desired chemical reaction. As such, they constitute an integral part in many applications ranging from the production of fine chemicals in chemical industry to exhaust gas treatment in vehicles. Accordingly, it is of utmost economic interest to improve catalyst efficiency and performance, which requires an understanding of the interplay between the catalyst structure, the gas phase and the catalytic activity under realistic reaction conditions at ambient pressures and elevated temperatures. In recent years efforts have been made to increasingly develop techniques that allow for investigating model catalyst samples under conditions closer to those of real technical catalysts. One of these techniques is high energy surface x-ray diffraction (HESXRD), which uses x-rays with photon energies typically in the range of 70-80 keV. HESXRD allows a fast data collection of three dimensional reciprocal space for the structure determination of model catalyst samples under operando conditions and has since been used for the investigation of an increasing number of different model catalysts. In this article we will review general considerations of HESXRD including its working principle for different model catalyst samples and the experimental equipment required. An overview over HESXRD investigations performed in recent years will be given, and the advantages of HESXRD with respect to its application to different model catalyst samples will be presented. Moreover, the combination of HESXRD with other operando techniques such as in situ mass spectrometry, planar laser-induced fluorescence and surface optical reflectance will be discussed. The article will close with an outlook on future perspectives and applications of HESXRD.

Abstract
Motivated mainly by catalysis, gas-surface interaction between single crystal surfaces and molecules has been studied for decades. Most of these studies have been performed in well-controlled environments and have been instrumental for the present day understanding of catalysis, providing information on surface structures, adsorption sites, and adsorption and desorption energies relevant for catalysis. However, the approach has been criticized for being too far from a catalyst operating under industrial conditions at high temperatures and pressures. To this end, a significant amount of effort over the years has been used to develop methods to investigate catalysts at more realistic conditions under operating conditions. One result from this effort is a vivid and sometimes heated discussion concerning the active phase for the seemingly simple CO oxidation reaction over the Pt-group metals in the literature. In recent years, we have explored the possibilities to perform experiments at conditions closer to those of a technical catalyst, in particular at increased pressures and temperatures. In this contribution, results from catalytic CO oxidation over a Pd(100) single crystal surface using Near Ambient Pressure X-ray Photo emission Spectroscopy (NAPXPS), Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF), and High Energy Surface X-ray Diffraction (HESXRD) are presented, and the strengths and weaknesses of the experimental techniques are discussed. Armed with structural knowledge from ultrahigh vacuum experiments, the presence of adsorbed molecules and gas-phase induced surface structures can be identified and related to changes in the reactivity or to reaction induced gas-flow limitations. In particular, the application of PLIF to catalysis allows one to visualize how the catalyst itself changes the gas composition close to the model catalyst surface upon ignition, and relate this to the observed surface structures. The effect obscures a straightforward relation between the active phase and the activity, since in the case of CO oxidation, the gas-phase close to the model catalyst surface is shown to be significantly more oxidizing than far away from the catalyst. We show that surface structural knowledge from UHV experiments and the composition of the gas phase close to the catalyst surface are crucial to understand structure-function relationships at semirealistic conditions. In the particular case of Pd, we argue that the surface structure of the PdO(101) has a significant influence on the activity, due to the presence of Coordinatively Unsaturated Sites (CUS) Pd atoms, similar to undercoordinated Ru and Ir atoms found for RuO2(110) and IrO2(110), respectively.

Abstract
In recent years, efforts have been made in catalysis related surface science studies to explore the possibilities to perform experiments at conditions closer to those of a technical catalyst, in particular at increased pressures. Techniques such as high pressure scanning tunneling/atomic force microscopy (HPSTM/AFM), near ambient pressure x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (NAPXPS), surface x-ray diffraction (SXRD) and polarization-modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRAS) at semi-realistic conditions have been used to study the surface structure of model catalysts under reaction conditions, combined with simultaneous mass spectrometry (MS). These studies have provided an increased understanding of the surface dynamics and the structure of the active phase of surfaces and nano particles as a reaction occurs, providing novel information on the structure/activity relationship. However, the surface structure detected during the reaction is sensitive to the composition of the gas phase close to the catalyst surface. Therefore, the catalytic activity of the sample itself will act as a gas-source or gas-sink, and will affect the surface structure, which in turn may complicate the assignment of the active phase. For this reason, we have applied planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) to the gas phase in the vicinity of an active model catalysts. Our measurements demonstrate that the gas composition differs significantly close to the catalyst and at the position of the MS, which indeed should have a profound effect on the surface structure. However, PLIF applied to catalytic reactions presents several beneficial properties in addition to investigate the effect of the catalyst on the effective gas composition close to the model catalyst. The high spatial and temporal resolution of PLIF provides a unique tool to visualize the on-set of catalytic reactions and to compare different model catalysts in the same reactive environment. The technique can be applied to a large number of molecules thanks to the technical development of lasers and detectors over the last decades, and is a complementary and visual alternative to traditional MS to be used in environments difficult to asses with MS. In this article we will review general considerations when performing PLIF experiments, our experimental set-up for PLIF and discuss relevant examples of PLIF applied to catalysis.

Abstract
Abstract
One layer thick iron oxide films are attractive from both applied and fundamental science perspectives. The structural and chemical properties of these systems can be tuned by changing the substrate, making them promising materials for heterogeneous catalysis. In the present work, we investigate the structure of FeO(111) monolayer films grown on Ag(100) and Ag(111) substrates by means of microscopy and diffraction techniques and compare it with the structure of FeO(111) grown on other substrates reported in literature. We also study the NO adsorption properties of FeO(111)/Ag(100) and FeO(111)/Ag(111) systems utilizing different spectroscopic techniques. We discuss similarities and differences in the data obtained from adsorption experiments and compare it with previous results for FeO(111)/Pt(111).

Abstract
In an attempt to bridge the material and pressure gaps - two major challenges for an atomic scale understanding of heterogeneous catalysis - we employed high-energy surface X-ray diffraction as a tool to study the Pd(553) surface in situ under changing reaction conditions during CO oxidation. The diffraction patterns recorded under CO rich reaction conditions are characteristic for the metallic state of the surface. In an environment with low excess of O2 over the reaction stoichiometry, the surface seems to accommodate oxygen atoms along the steps forming one or several subsequent adsorbate structures and rapidly transforms into a combination of (332), (111) and (331) facets likely providing the room for the formation of a surface oxide. For the case of large excess of O2, the diffraction data show the presence of a multilayer PdO with the [101] crystallographic direction parallel to the [111] and the [331] directions of the substrate. The reconstructions in O2 excess are to a large extent similar to those previously reported for pure O2 exposures by Westerström et al. [R. Westerström et al., Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter Mater. Phys., 2007, 76, 155410].

Abstract
Density-functional theory is used to investigate the phase-segregation behavior of two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides, which are of current interest as beyond-graphene materials for optoelectronic and spintronic applications. Our focus is on the behavior of W1-x V x Se2 monolayers, whose end members are semiconducting WSe2 and ferromagnetic VSe2. The energetics favors phase segregation, but the spinodal decomposition temperature is rather low, about 420 K. The addition of V leads to a transition from a nonmagnetic semiconductor to a metallic ferromagnet, with a ferromagnetic moment of about 1.0 μ B per V atom. The transition is caused by a p-type doping mechanism, which shifts the Fermi level into the valence band. The finite-temperature structure and magnetism of the diselenide systems are discussed in terms of Onsager-type critical fluctuations and Bruggeman effective-medium behavior.

Abstract
Metal oxide films can form on late transition-metal catalysts under sufficiently oxygen-rich conditions, and typically cause significant changes in the catalytic performance of these materials. Several investigations using sensitive in situ surface characterization techniques reveal that the CO oxidation activity of Pd and other late transition-metal catalysts increases abruptly under conditions at which metal oxide structures begin to develop. Findings such as these provide strong motivation for developing atomic-scale descriptions of oxidation catalysis over oxide films of the late transition-metals. Surface oxygen vacancies can play a central role in mediating oxidation catalysis promoted by metal oxides. In general, adsorbed reactants abstract oxygen atoms from the lattice of the oxide surface, thereby creating oxygen vacancies, while gaseous O2 replenishes the reactive surface oxygen atoms and eliminates oxygen vacancies. Oxygen vacancies also represent a distinct type of surface site on which the binding and reactivity of adsorbed species can differ compared with sites on the pristine oxide surface. Detailed characterization of vacancy-mediated rate processes is thus essential for developing reliable mechanistic descriptions of oxidation catalysis over reducible metal oxide films. Careful measurements performed in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) using well-defined oxide surfaces in combination with molecular simulations afford the capability to isolate and characterize such reaction steps, and thus provide information that is needed for developing mechanistic models of oxidation catalysis over metal oxides. In this Account, we discuss vacancy-mediated processes that are involved in the oxidation of CO on the PdO(101) surface as determined from UHV surface science experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These studies show that CO binds strongly on Pd atoms that are located next to surface oxygen vacancies, and diffuses rapidly to these sites during reduction of the oxide surface by CO. The enhanced binding also raises the energy barriers for desorption and oxidation of CO, but the difference in these barriers remains nearly identical to that for CO adsorbed on the pristine PdO(101) surface. These recent studies also show that oxygen from the subsurface efficiently eliminates surface oxygen vacancies during CO oxidation at temperatures as low as 400 K, and thereby reveal a facile pathway by which PdO(101) surface domains can be maintained during oxide reduction.

Abstract
Optoelectronic diode based on PN heterostructure is one of the most fundamental device building blocks with extensive applications. Here we reported the fabrication and optoelectronic properties of GaTe/Sn : CdS nanoflake/nanowire PN heterojunction photodetectors. With high quality contacts between metal electrodes and Sn : CdS or GaTe, the electrical measurement of GaTe/Sn : CdS hybrid heterojunction under dark condition demonstrates an excellent diode characteristic with well-defined current rectification behavior. The photocurrent increases drastically under LED white light as well as red, green, UV illumination. The on-off ratio of current is about 100 for forward bias and 3000 for reverse bias, which clearly indicates the ultrahigh sensitivity of the heterostructure photodetector to white light. The responsivity and optical gain are determined to be 607 A W(-1) and (1.06-2.16) × 10(5)%, which is higher than previous reports of single GaTe or CdS nanostructures. Combination the Ids-Vds curves under different illumination power with energy band diagrams, we assign that both the light modulation effect under forward and reverse bias and the surface molecular oxygen adsorption/desorption mechanism are dominant to the electrical transport behavior of GaTe/Sn : CdS heterojunction. This heterostructure photodetector also shows good stability and fast response speed. Both the high photosensibility and fast response time described in the present study suggest strongly that the GaTe/Sn : CdS hybrid heterostructure is a promising candidate for photodetection, optical sensing and switching devices.
