Methanol decomposition on Pd (111) at 300 and 400 K was studied in situ from 5× 10-7 to
0.1 mbar by combining vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) and X-ray photoelectron …

Density functional theory with gradient corrections has been employed to study the reaction
pathways and the reaction energetics for the transformations of CH4 to C and H on a Pd100 …

Introduction Methane is the main component of natural gas and its utilization amounts to ca.
1.7× 109 tons of oil equivalent per year [1]. Since the present reserve of methane is located …

The chemisorption of CH x (x= 0− 3) fragments on a Pd (111) surface has been studied with
density functional periodic calculations. The binding energy decreases strongly as the …

Methane activation and coupling of the CH k species formed from methane into higher
hydrocarbons over NaY, Pt/NaY, Co/NaY, Co-Pt/NaY and Co-Pt/Al 2 O 3 have been …

Ruthenium, cobalt, and ruthenium–cobalt bimetallic samples, supported on SiO2, Al2O3,
and NaY zeolite, were characterized by temperature-programmed reduction, CO …

The results obtained on thermal stability and reactions of CχHγ hydrocarbon fragments on
metal surfaces are discussed. CχHγ species are produced by thermal and photo-induced …

The adsorption and dissociation of CH2Cl2 have been investigated by means of infrared
spectroscopy combined with mass spectrometry. CH2Cl2 adsorbs molecularly on Pd/SiO2 at …

The thermal and photochemistry of methylene iodide, CH2I2, on Rh (111) surface has been
investigated by high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS), X-ray …
