Abstract

The working site providing reactive oxygen was examined from the angular and velocity distributions of the desorbing product, CO2, on Pd(100), Pd(110), and Pt(113) by means of cross-correlation time-of-flight techniques. Around a critical CO pressure where the rate-determining step of CO oxidation shifted from CO adsorption to O2 dissociation, site switching was confirmed for CO2 formation on Pt(113) and Pd(110). On the other hand, no site switching was found on Pd(100) although clear changes were observed in the chemical kinetics for CO2 formation.
