Abstract
Polycrystalline Ni3Al alloy surface was investigated during CO adsorption–desorption experiments by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), low energy ion scattering (LEIS) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). It was shown that CO partially dissociates giving nickel bonded carbon and carbon monoxide species and aluminum bonded oxygen. Thermal desorption was characterized by both low temperature CO desorption peaks typical for Ni–Al alloy, and high temperature one of highly reactive sites with lower CO dissociative barrier.
