At 105 K, HCOOH molecularly adsorbs on clean Au（997） and interacts more strongly with low‐coordinated Au atoms at （111） step sites than with those at （111） terrace sites. On an atomic oxygen‐covered Au（997） surface, HCOOH reacts with oxygen at‐oms to form HCOO and OH at 105 K. Upon subsequent heating, surface reactions occur among ad‐sorbed HCOO, OH, and atomic oxygen and produce CO2, H2O, and HCOOH between 250 and 400 K. The Au（111） steps bind surface adsorbates more strongly than the Au（111） terraces and exhibit larger barriers for HCOO（a） oxidation reactions. The surface reactions also depend on the relative coverages of co‐existing surface species. Our results elucidate the elementary surface reactions between formic acid and oxygen adatoms on Au surfaces and highlight the effects of the coordina‐tion number of the Au atoms on the Au catalysis.展开更多
