In this study, the morphological changes of a model Rh catalyst supported on Fe3O4(001) were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Various Rh sites were identified, and the properties of these sites were characterized using adsorbates such as CO and CO2. The high-temperature CO desorption and CO oxidation mechanisms were demonstrated for adatoms and nanoparticles.
The atomic-level characterization of active sites is essential to understanding the mechanisms behind catalytic reactions. In this study, using scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we follow the morphological changes of a model Rh catalyst supported on Fe3O4(001) as a function of temperature and Rh coverage. We identify the preparation conditions leading to model catalysts containing homotopic or nearly homotopic Rh species bound as adatoms, substitutional octahedral sites within the Fe3O4(001), and nanoparticles. Adsorbates such as CO and CO2 are subsequently used to characterize the properties of different Rh sites. Using temperature-programmed desorption, we demonstrate that adatoms and nanoparticles exhibit high-temperature CO desorption (250-600 K). Strong binding on such sites further allows for CO oxidation to CO2 via the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism. In contrast, CO2 was found to interact weakly with all Rh sites. Differences in desorption temperature enable the use of CO and CO2 as titration methods for nanoparticles and Fe3O4(001), respectively. A small quantity of CO2 was found to be reduced to CO on Rh adatoms and small nanoparticles.
