  2. 1. The effect of surface steps and oxides on the catalytic activity on model Pd and Rh catalysts

    Author : Chu Zhang; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface X-ray diffraction SXRD ; X-ray photonelectron spectroscopy; Catalytic activity; Oxide; Single Crystal surface; surface structure; vicinal surface; CO oxidation; stepped surface; Fysicumarkivet A:2018:Zhang;

    Abstract : A catalyst is a substance that can speed up the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. Catalysts are crucial for chemical production industries, where about 90% of all chemicals are produced using catalysts. READ MORE

  4. 2. Interaction of some molecules with complex surfaces

    Author : Andrea Resta; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Catalysis; Ethylene; CO.; Surface Science; Vicinal surface; Ethanol; Rh;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the adsorption, decomposition and reactions of small molecules on flat, oxidised and vicinal surfaces of late transition metals. The main technique for these studies is high resolution core level spectroscopy (HRCLS). All the studies presented in the thesis are performed in Ultra High Vacuum (UHV). READ MORE

  5. 3. Dissociative Adsorption of CO2 on Copper: The Role of Steps

    Author : Benjamin Hagman; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; koppar; CO2; Copper surface; Carbon Dioxide : chemistry; Dissociative adsorption; Surface oxidation; Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy APXPS ; Surface X-ray diffraction SXRD ;

    Abstract : CO2 chemistry has received significant interest in recent time, due to the greenhouse effects of CO2 emissions and the resulting climate change. CO2 reduction reactions, such as methanol synthesis and reverse water-gas shift, is providing a route for recycling of CO2 and thus limiting the CO2 emissions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Synchrotron-based In Situ Electron Spectroscopy Applied to Oxide Formation and Catalysis

    Author : Niclas Johansson; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Keywords : CO oxidation; Sonogashira cross-coupling; trilayer FeO; vicinal FeO; Mn III -salen; APXPS; XAS; Fysicumarkivet A:2017:Johansson;

    Abstract : In this thesis, in situ ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to address chemical reactions on surfaces. The presented work aims at the investigation of the relation between pressure and adsorbate surface structures during catalytic reactions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Oxidation of some Late Transition Metal Surfaces: Structural Studies from UHV to Atmospheric Pressure

    Author : Johan Gustafson; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Kondenserade materiens egenskaper:struktur; phase equilibria; crystallography; thermal and mechanical properties; Condensed matter:stucture; density functional theory; scanning tunneling microscopy; surface x-ray diffraction; high resolution core level spectroscopy; low energy electron diffraction; metal surfaces; oxidation; catalysis; egenskaper termiska och mekaniska ; kristallografi; fasjämvikt;

    Abstract : The oxidation of Rh, Pd and Pt is studied under conditions ranging from ultra high vacuum to ambient pressures, with emphasis on a complete understanding of the geometry of the various oxide structures found. The investigations use a combination of various experimental methods, including high resolution core level spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, surface x-ray diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy, as well as density functional theory calculations.
