I present a molecular beam study of methane dissociation on differ-ent surface sites of several platinum single crystal surfaces (Pt(111), Pt(211), Pt(210), Pt(110)-(2x1)). The experiments were performed in a molecular beam/surface-science apparatus that c ...

Investigation of the heterogeneously catalysed gas phase CO2 hydrogenation reaction: Development of analysis methods and reaction analysis on pristine metal catalysts

Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the development of analysis methods that enable an improved investigation of the CO2 hydrogenation reaction such as quantitative mass spectrometry and infrared thermography. Furthermore, the contribution is in the ...

Equilibria and Speciation of Chloramines, Bromamines, and Bromochloramines in Water

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Daniela Trogolo

The stabilities and speciation of the halamines in water are difficult to characterize experimentally. We provide theoretical estimates of aqueous standard free energies of formation for inorganic chloramines, bromamines, and bromochloramines, based on hig ...

Delineating the Mechanism of Ionic Liquids in the Synthesis of Quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione from 2-Aminobenzonitrile and CO2

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Martin Hulla, Shoubhik Das, Sami Manoubi Armand Chamam

Ionic liquids (ILs) are versatile solvents and catalysts for the synthesis of quinazoline-2,4-dione from 2-aminobenzonitrile and CO2. However, the role of the IL in this reaction is poorly understood. Consequently, we investigated this reaction and showed ...

In this work we seek to examine the nature of collisional energy transfer between HCl and Au(111) for nonreactive scattering events that sample geometries near the transition state for dissociative adsorption by varying both the vibrational and translation ...

Amer Inst Physics2016

We report zero-coverage reaction probabilities (S-0) for HCl dissociative adsorption on Au(111) obtained by the seeded molecular beam hot-nozzle method. For measurements at normal incidence with mean translational energies ranging from 0.94 to 2.56 eV (noz ...

Solid oxide fuel cell anode degradation by the effect of hydrogen chloride in stack and single cell environments

Jan Van Herle, Christian Ludwig, Stefan Diethelm, Hossein Madi, Davide Papurello

The poisoning effect by hydrogen chloride (HCl) on state-of-the-art Ni anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) at 750 degrees C is evaluated in either hydrogen or syngas fuel. Experiments are performed on single cells and short stacks and HCl concen ...

Toward the correspondence between Q-clouds and sphalerons

Andrey Shkerin

Non-linear classical equations of motion may admit degenerate solutions at fixed charges. Whereas the solutions with lower energies are classically stable, those with larger energies are unstable and are referred to as Q-clouds. We consider a theory in whi ...

Vibrationally Promoted Dissociation of Water on Ni(111)

Rainer Beck, Phil Morten Hundt

Water dissociation on transition-metal catalysts is an important step in steam reforming and the water-gas shift reaction. To probe the effect of translational and vibrational activation on this important heterogeneous reaction, we performed state-resolved ...
