Title: Low temperature CO oxidation on bimetallic structures Author: Petr Hanyš Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Václav Nehasil, Dr., Department of Surface and Plasma Science Abstract: Bimetallic system Sn-Rh in the form of the model Sn/Rh(111) system, supported Rh+Sn/Al2O3 and Rh/SnO2 clusters and Rh/SnO2 and Rh+Sn/Al2O3 powder samples was studied using synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy (SRPES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), molecular beams (MB), transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM, SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high pressure reactor within the framework of the study. It was found that formation of Sn-Rh alloy influences catalytic properties of Rh by lowering CO adsorption energy and capacity. It was also found that presence of Rh in this bimetallic system mediates reversible oxidation/reduction of Sn/SnO2, whereas Sn oxide acts as an oxygen reservoir for low temperature CO oxidation.
