- W3159367077 abstract "Infrared spectra have been widely used to study CO adsorption and reaction on Au surfaces to reveal the underlying reaction mechanism. However, the results and interpretation of IR spectra of CO adsorption on Au surfaces remain highly controversial, which prevents reliable conclusions from earlier studies. Herein, we studied CO adsorption on Au thin films and nanoparticles by in situ polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) with highly purified CO. Only a single CO adsorption feature above 2100 cm–1 is observed on Au nanoparticles and thin films with CO adsorption pressure varying from 1 × 10–6 to 100 Torr. This observation contradicts the general findings that CO adsorption on Au surfaces at elevated CO pressures shows strong adsorption bands at 2090–1900 cm–1 mostly assigned to CO bound to negatively charged Au. We rule out the contradiction is caused by the pressure gap between vacuum and elevated pressure conditions employed for CO adsorption. We provide clear evidence that the CO adsorption bands in the region of 2090–1900 cm–1, widely observed in earlier studies of high-pressure CO adsorption on Au surfaces, are actually caused by Ni-carbonyl (Ni(CO)4) contamination from incompletely purified CO gas rather than CO adsorption on negatively charged Au. Ni-carbonyl can be adsorbed and decomposed on Au surfaces, resulting in the formation of NiAu bimetallic alloys. We further investigate CO adsorption behaviors on bimetallic NiAu thin films and nanoparticles by in situ PM-IRRAS. We find that Au is enriched on the NiAu surface under vacuum conditions, while Ni is segregated on the surface under elevated CO pressure conditions. The strong CO adsorption on Ni sites on NiAu bimetallic surfaces leads to an atop CO adsorption band at 2090–2040 cm–1, while CO bound on Au sites yields an adsorption band above 2100 cm–1. Our study clearly clarifies the origin of the widely reported CO adsorption bands at 2090–1900 cm–1 and resolves the puzzle of IR spectra of CO on Au surfaces, thus providing an important paradigm that complete purification of CO gas is a prerequisite for any in situ studies associated with CO at elevated pressures." @default.
