The aim is to explore how single crystals can effectively model catalytic systems under process-like conditions.
Conducted kinetic measurements on single crystals of nickel and ruthenium under process-like conditions.
Utilized modern surface analytical techniques to dissect the methanation reaction mechanism and measure reaction kinetics.
Analyzed the effects of impurity atoms on catalytic performance in terms of electronegativity and poisoning ability.
Identical kinetic parameters for methanation were observed between single crystals and high surface area catalysts (both nickel and ruthenium).
The kinetics of the methanation reaction’s main steps were individually measured using surface probes.
A correlation was established between the electronegativity of impurity atoms and their catalytic poisoning ability, with electronic effects dominating.
