Abstract

The primary route to hydrogen production from fossil fuels involves the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction, and an improvement in the efficiency of WGS catalysts could therefore lead to a major leap forward in the realization of hydrogen economy. On the basis of a combination of high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we suggest the existence of a new thermodynamically stable Cu/Pt near-surface alloy (NSA). Temperature-programmed desorption and DFT reveal that this Cu/Pt NSA binds CO significantly more weakly than does Pt alone, thereby implying a considerable reduction in the potential for CO poisoning of the Cu/Pt NSA surface as compared to that of pure Pt. In addition, DFT calculations show that this Cu/Pt NSA is able to activate H2O easily, which is the rate-determining step for the WGS on several metal surfaces, and, at the same time, to bind the products of that reaction and formate intermediates rather weakly, thus avoiding possible poisoning of the catalyst surface. The Cu/Pt NSA is thus a promising candidate for an improved WGS catalyst.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
