   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adsorption; hydrocarbon; core-level; spectroscopy; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in combination with density functional theory (DFT) the changes in electronic and geometric structure of hydrocarbons upon adsorption are determined. The chemical bonding is analyzed and the results provide new insights in the mechanisms responsible for dehydrogenation in heterogeneous catalysis. READ MORE
