Mechanisms of the Heterogeneously Catalyzed Reaction of CO2 Hydrogenation on Transition Metal Surfaces

Kun Zhao

Renewable energy supply and energy storage in a closed materials cycle are the urgent global challenges of the 21st century. Carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation over catalysts is a method to produce synthetic fuels from renewable energy in a CO2 neutral cyc ...

Linking Isotope Exchange with Fe(II)-Catalyzed Dissolution of Iron(hydr)oxides in the Presence of the Bacterial Siderophore Desferrioxamine-B

Janet Gordon Hering

Dissolution of Fe(III) phases is a key process in making iron available to biota and in the mobilization of associated trace elements. Recently, we have demonstrated that submicromolar concentrations of Fe(II) significantly accelerate rates of ligand-contr ...

Two dimensional diffusion-controlled triplet–triplet annihilation kinetics

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Grégoire Clément Gschwend

Diffusion controlled chemical reactions are usually observed in three dimensionalmedia. In contrast, planar bimolecular reactions taking place between reagents adsorbed at a soft interface are two-dimensional and therefore cannot be studied within the same ...

Site Selective Detection of Methane Dissociation on Stepped Pt Surfaces

Rainer Beck, Ana Gutiérrez González

We report a combined experimental and theoretical study comparing methane dissociation on three di erent platinum surfaces Pt(111), Pt(211), and Pt(110)-(1 × 2). Re ection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) was used to detect chemisorbed methyl speci ...

Bond-selective and surface-site-specific dissociation of methane on platinum

Ana Gutiérrez González

I present a molecular beam study of methane dissociation on differ-ent surface sites of several platinum single crystal surfaces (Pt(111), Pt(211), Pt(210), Pt(110)-(2x1)). The experiments were performed in a molecular beam/surface-science apparatus that c ...

Adsorption of HPDX and CaHPOx (x=1, ...,4) molecules on anatase TiO2 (001) surfaces

Alfonso Baldereschi

perform DFT calculations within the COSMO framework to study the adsorption properties of the CaHPOx (x = 1,...,4) phosphate family, and of the related HPOx acids, on a paradigmatic anatase (001) surface. Of particular interest is CaHPO4, a precursor of hy ...

Scattering HCl Molecules from Au(111) and Ag(111) Surfaces

Jan Daniel Geweke

In this thesis, I present an experimental molecular beam surface scattering study of dynamical processes involved when HCl molecules are scattered from Au(111) and Ag(111) surfaces. I investigated vibrational excitation, translational inelasticity and diss ...

The Effect of Surface Reconstruction on the Oxygen Reduction Reaction Properties of LaMnO3

Vasiliki Tileli, Reinis Ignatans

Perovskites have been widely studied for electrocatalysis due to the exceptional activity they exhibit for surface-mediated redox reactions. To date, descriptors based on density functional theory calculations or experimental measurements have assumed a bu ...

New insights into the effect of nitrogen incorporation in Mo: catalytic hydrogenation vs. hydrogenolysis

Lioubov Kiwi, Daniel André Samuel Lamey

The catalytic effect of nitrogen incorporation into Mo on hydrogenation (of -NO2 to -NH2 in nitrobenzene to aniline) and hydrogenolysis (of -C?O in benzaldehyde to toluene) processes has been assessed. Bulk Mo was prepared by temperature programmed reducti ...

Efficient Base-Metal NiMn/TiO2 Catalyst for CO2 Methanation

Andreas Züttel, Wei Chen, Emanuele Moioli

Energy storage solutions are a vital component of the global transition toward renewable energy sources. The power-to-gas (PtG) concept, which stores surplus renewable energy in the form of methane, has therefore become increasingly relevant in recent year ...

An In-Situ Neutron Diffraction and DFT Study of Hydrogen Adsorption in a Sodalite-Type Metal-Organic Framework, Cu-BTTri

Michele Ceriotti, Wendy Lee Queen, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Mehrdad Asgari, Shuliang Yang, Olga Trukhina, Ilia Kochetygov, Safak Bulut, Rocio Semino Barbaresi

Herein we present a detailed study of the hydrogen adsorption properties of Cu‐BTTri, a robust crystalline metal–organic framework containing open metal‐coordination sites. Diffraction techniques, carried out on the activated framework, reveal a structure ...
