The reactivities of surface hydroxyls were tested through the reaction of CO. Surface formate species are formed on CeO2 and Pr6O11 under CO atmosphere at 200℃ . and the reaction becomcs more prevailing at higher temperatures especially for partially reduced samples. The surface formate species are produced via the reaction of CO with surface hydroxyls which was confirmed by the reaction of CO with D2-treated CeO2 and Pr6O11. The Surface formate can be oxidized to carbonate at temperatures exceeding 300 ℃, and the surface hydroxyls could be recovered as the formate species decompose or are oxidized to carbonate species. The roles played by the surface hydroxyls and surface active sites in the CO oxidation are discussed.展开更多
