Kinetic explosion and bistability in adsorption and reaction of acetic acid on Pd(110)
Literature Information
Michael Bowker, Chris Morgan, Vladimir P. Zhdanov
The adsorption and reaction of acetic acid with Pd(110) have been studied using thermal molecular beam reaction measurements and temperature-programmed desorption. Acetic acid adsorption results in the formation of acetate species which decompose to produce coincident CO2 and H2 desorption from the surface. C is deposited on the surface from the dehydrogenation of the methyl group. In combination, these steps are found to exhibit unusual kinetics including (i) a “surface explosion” during heating and (ii) bistability in the reaction profile for heating and cooling curves. This is the first report of such behaviour for a complex system during in situ reaction.

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.
