The O₂ + NH₃ Reaction Over Rh(110): Steady State Kinetics and Oscillatory Behavior

The kinetics of ammonia oxidation with oxygen over a Rh(110) surface were studied in the pressure range 10⁻⁵–10⁻⁴ mbar. Nitrogen was found to be the preferred product at low partial pressures ratios p<sub>O₂</sub> : p<sub>NH₃</sub>, while the NO pathway was favored with oxyge...

Sumario:The kinetics of ammonia oxidation with oxygen over a Rh(110) surface were studied in the pressure range 10⁻⁵–10⁻⁴ mbar. Nitrogen was found to be the preferred product at low partial pressures ratios p<sub>O₂</sub> : p<sub>NH₃</sub>, while the NO pathway was favored with oxygen rich gas mixtures and at high temperature. The reactive sticking coefficient of O₂ reaches up to 0.05 under steady state conditions. Pronounced hysteresis effects in the reaction rates were found in T-cycling experiments. Sustained oscillations in the reaction rates occurred under isothermal conditions at T = 620 K at a total pressure of 4 × 10⁻⁵ mbar.
