摘要: Abstract Recent studies suggest that surface oxides on transition metal nanoparticles play an important role in determining the catalytic activity of CO oxidation. In this work, we investigated influence modification Rh and Ru oxidation using UV-ozone treatment. Monodisperse were synthesized by polyol reduction poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as a capping agent. The size was controlled varying concentration precursors or seeded-growth method. changes occurred during treatment characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which showed state increased after activation energy nanoparticle arrays measured before chemical modification. Our reaction indicate turnover rate increases factor three due to formation catalytically active oxide. contrast, decreases treatment, suggesting bulk oxide formed is inactive. results intriguing way tune via engineering nanoscale
