Abstract
The reactions of CO, NO, and oxygen on platinum surfaces have received
a great deal of research attention, because of both their industrial
importance in the three-way automobile catalytic converter and the
academic interest surrounding the kinetic oscillations observed under
some conditions. Crucial parameters in many of the kinetic models
of these systems are the coverage-dependent heats of adsorption of
the reacting species, which, with the exception of isosteric data
for CO, have not previously been determined experimentally. Here
the results of microcalorimetric measurements of the heats of adsorption
of CO, NO, and O2 as a function of coverage on Pt110 are presented.
The initial adsorption heats are 183, 160, and 335 kJ mol-1, respectively.
