The adsorption and dissociation of acetaldehyde were investigated on clean and carbon-
covered Rh (111) single crystal surfaces by electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS),
temperature programmed desorption (TPD), high-resolution electron energy loss
spectroscopy (HREELS) and work function (∆ φ) measurements. Acetaldehyde is a starting
material for the catalytic production of many important chemicals and investigation of its
reactions motivated by environmental purposes too. The adsorption of acetaldehyde on …
