This project is in the area of the Materials Chemistry                          Initiative.  The diffusion of gases adsorbed on oxide surfaces                  plays a pivotal role in supported metal catalysis.  Diffusion                   rates on oxide surfaces dramatically affect surface reactions                   on supported metals .  More effective and chemically specific                   catalysts could be designed by utilizing particular surface and                 interface geometries with favorable surface diffusion                           properties.  However, no direct measurements of surface                         diffusion on well characterized oxide surfaces have ever been                   performed.  This research focuses on two model oxidation                        reactions: carbon monoxide + oxygen --&gt; carbon dioxide on                       palladium/alpha-alumina, and carbon dioxide + nitric oxide --&gt;                  carbon dioxide + nitrogen on rhodium/alpha-alumina.  Concurrent                 reaction kinetic studies and surface diffusion experiments will                 explore, characterize, and demonstrate how to exploit the role                  of surface diffusion in catalytically important reactions.                      Additional opportunities include a measurement of hydrogen                      spillover on well-characterized palladium/alpha-alumina and                     comparison studies of surface diffusion on various                              alpha-alumina and silicon dioxide single crystal faces.
