Abstract

A new method has been devised for detecting the heat evolved when a gas is adsorbed onto a crystal surface. The method forms the basis of an adsorption calorimeter which provides, for the first time, accurate heats of adsorption for adsorbates on metal single crystal surfaces as a detailed function of surface coverage. Coverage-dependent calorimetric heats of adsorption and sticking probabilities for CO on the 111 100 and 110 planes of nickel have been obtained, enabling comparisons to be made with literature values for isosteric heats. Data for CO adsorption onto nickel surfaces with varying amounts of predosed K have been obtained, demonstrating an unexpectedly large effect of promotion on the heat of adsorption
