Abstract
We present experimental evidence for the activation of water and further reaction with ethane on a Mn/Au surface to form CO2(g) and H2(g). Additionally, we observe competitive chemisorption between water and carbon monoxide that resulted in water displacing carbon monoxide from a Mn/Au surface at 77 K. This model study unveils fundamental information about the role metallic manganese could be playing in highly energy relevant processes such as, water gas shift reaction and steam reforming of small alkanes.
期刊介绍：
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
