In an attempt to bridge the material and pressure gaps – two major challenges for an atomic scale understanding of heterogeneous catalysis – we employed high-energy surface X-ray diffraction as a tool to study the Pd(553) surface in situ under changing reaction conditions during CO oxidation. The diffraction patterns recorded under CO rich reaction conditions are characteristic for the metallic state of the surface. In an environment with low excess of O2 over the reaction stoichiometry, the surface seems to accommodate oxygen atoms along the steps forming one or several subsequent adsorbate structures and rapidly transforms into a combination of (332), (111) and (331) facets likely providing the room for the formation of a surface oxide. For the case of large excess of O2, the diffraction data show the presence of a multilayer PdO with the [101] crystallographic direction parallel to the [111] and the [331] directions of the substrate. The reconstructions in O2 excess are to a large extent similar to those previously reported for pure O2 exposures by Westerström et al. [R. Westerström et al., Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter Mater. Phys., 2007, 76, 155410].

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.
