Abstract
Surface Chemistry Metal nanoparticles used in heterogeneous catalysis can bear different facets with different reaction kinetics. Suchorski et al. used field electron microscopy with high spatial (∼2 nanometers) and time (∼2 milliseconds) resolution to study hydrogen oxidation on a curved rhodium crystal that displayed individual nanofacets. They also performed field ion microscopy of the water products. Periodic formation and depletion of subsurface oxygen blocked or allowed hydrogen adsorption, respectively, and led to oscillatory kinetics that could frequency lock between facets but at different frequencies. Surface reconstructions could also induce collapse of spatial coupling of oscillations. Science , abf8107, this issue p. [1314][1] [1]: /lookup/doi/10.1126/science.abf8107
