Session: Reactivity at Oxide Surfaces

Metal nanoparticles supported on thin oxide films may be characterized at the atomic level. Typically it is assumed that reactions proceed on the surface of those particles. We report on results of hydrogenation and oxidation reactions where the interior as well as the metal-oxide interface participate. Several examples will be discussed on the basis of results on model systems characterized via STM, TPD, IRAS, r-NRA, molecular beam as well as high pressure studies.
