Dynamics of O2 Chemisorption on a Flat Platinum Surface Probed by an Alignment-Controlled O2 Beam.

O2 adsorption on Pt surfaces is of great technological importance owing to its relevance to reactions for the purification of car exhaust gas and the oxygen reduction on fuel-cell electrodes. Although the O2 /Pt(111) system has been investigated intensively, questions still remain concerning the origin of the low O2 sticking probability and its unusual energy dependence. We herein clarify the alignment dependence of the initial sticking probability (S0 ) using the single spin-rotational state-selected [(J,M)=(2,2)] O2 beam. The results indicate that, at low translational energy (E0 ) conditions, direct activated chemisorption occurs only when the O2 axis is nearly parallel to the surface. At high energy conditions (E0 >0.5 eV), however, S0 for the parallel O2 decreases with increasing E0 while that of the perpendicular O2 increases, accounting for the nearly energy-independent O2 sticking probability determined previously by a non-state-resolved experiment.
