Abstract

Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) under ultra-high vacuum conditions of CO and H//2 from polycrystalline nickel surfaces containing varying amounts of titania showed that the effects of titania are short-ranged. Carbon monoxide adsorption was weakened while hydrogen adsorption was strengthened with increasing concentration of surface titania. Coadsorption measurements confirmed that hydrogen and CO compete for sites on nickel. Using adsorption and desorption kinetic parameters derived from the TPD experiments, calculations indicated that shifts in heats of adsorption due to the presence of titania may result in a one to two order of magnitude higher hydrogen adatom coverage under steady-state methanation conditions relative to a clean Ni surface.
