Continuing our efforts to elucidate the working principle of Au/ZnO catalysts for the synthesis of green methanol from CO2 and H2, we present a systematic X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study on the interaction of bimetallic Zn/Au(111) surfaces with O2 and NO2 (O*), on the oxidation of Zn atoms in these bimetallic model systems and on the formation ZnOx species or thin films on these surfaces. At room temperature, we find little adsorption and essentially no oxidation of Zn atoms alloyed into the Au(111) near-surface region upon exposure to O2 or NO2, and accordingly no Zn de-alloying. LT interaction of O2 or NO2 with Zn submonolayer structures leads to higher oxygen and / or NO2 coverages. Formation of oxidic ZnOx species / structures occurs, however, only after annealing above RT, both after O2 and NO2 exposure. This involves partial conversion of adsorbed species into ZnOx. ZnO/Au(111) thin films, especially thicker ones, can be efficiently prepared by reactive deposition of Zn in O2 or NO2, followed by annealing. RT deposition in NO2 gives a higher fraction of (incompletely) oxidized ZnOx compared to O2, Fully oxidized ZnO is formed after subsequent annealing, upon thermally activated conversion of adsorbed Oad/OH species into oxidic oxygen and dissolution of remaining metallic Zn atoms into the Au bulk. Overall, the study provides detailed insights into the formation of ZnOx thin films on Au(111).

双金属Zn / Au(111)表面与O 2或NO 2的相互作用以及ZnO x / Au(111)的形成

继续努力阐明Au / ZnO催化剂从CO 2和H 2合成绿色甲醇的工作原理,我们对双金属Zn / Au(111)的相互作用进行了系统的X射线光电子能谱(XPS)研究。这些双金属模型系统中Zn原子的氧化作用以及在这些表面上形成的ZnO x物质或薄膜上具有O 2和NO 2(O *)的表面。在室温下,我们发现几乎没有吸附,而暴露于O 2或NO 2时,合金化成Au(111)近表面区域的Zn原子基本上没有氧化因此没有Zn脱合金。O 2或NO的LT相互作用具有Zn亚单层结构的2导致较高的氧和/或NO 2覆盖率。然而,仅在RT以上退火之后,才在O 2和NO 2暴露下发生氧化ZnO x物种/结构的形成。这涉及将吸附物质部分转化为ZnO x。通过在O 2或NO 2中反应性沉积Zn ,然后进行退火,可以有效地制备ZnO / Au(111)薄膜,尤其是较厚的薄膜。与O 2相比,NO 2中的RT沉积产生了更高比例的(不完全)氧化的ZnO x在随后的退火之后,将吸附的O ad / OH物质热活化转化为氧化性氧并将剩余的金属Zn原子溶解到Au块中后,会形成完全氧化的ZnO 。总体而言,该研究为在Au(111)上形成ZnO x薄膜提供了详细的见识。
