The transition alumina (γ + δ)-Al2O3 was modified by intensive dehydroxylation, potassium-alkalization and hydrogenation, and examined for possible impacts of modification on surface (i.e. accessibility, chemical composition, functional groups and acid sites) and bulk properties by N2 sorptiometry, X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine. Impacts on CO adsorption and resulting carboxy species on the surface and in the gas phase at 298–773 K, were subsequently examined by in-situ infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed CO at 298 K. Results communicated spectroscopic evidence for formation of various hydrogenocarbonate, formate, carbonate, carbonyl and end-on coordinated CO2 surface species, as well as CO2 gas phase species. Accordingly, it is concluded that: (i) surface hydroxylation of alumina (particularly the availability of basic OH-groups) enhances formation and thermal stability of hydrogenocarbonate and formate species, but hampers formation of carbonate species; (ii) surface alkalization with potassium ion additives disfavors appreciably formation of hydrogenocarbonate species, however enhances markedly formation of carbonate and formate species; and (iii) co-existence of H2 in the CO adsorptive atmosphere promotes both formation and thermal stability of surface formate species. Surface reaction pathways are proposed for the formation of the various surface and gas phase carboxy species at CO/Al2O3.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
