Adsorption and decomposition of methanol on molybdenum(100): effects of surface oxidation

摘要: The adsorption and decomposition of methanol on the clean Mo(100) surface two distinct oxygen-modified surfaces were investigated by high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy thermal desorption spectroscopy. Methanol decomposes via a stable methoxy intermediate partially oxidized surface. desorbs without fully capacity for chemisorption three was found to decrease with extent oxidation.
