On the mechanism for the reduction of nitrogen monoxide on Rh(111) single-crystal surfaces
Abstract
Isothermal kinetic experiments were carried out with isotopically-labeled molecular beams in order to characterize the surface reactions involved in the reduction of nitrogen monoxide with carbon monoxide on Rh(111) single-crystal surfaces. The new data reported here offers support for the basic model advanced previously where N2 production takes place via the formation of N–NO intermediates at the periphery of atomic
