The nature of H-atoms adsorbed on M -nanoparticles is of major importance in many catalyzed reduction processes. Using isotope labeling, we determined that hydrogen evolution from transient {(M -NP)-H } proceeds mainly via the Heyrovsky mechanism when n is large (i.e., the hydrogens behave as hydrides) but mainly via the Tafel mechanism when n is small (i.e., the hydrogens behave as atoms). Additionally, the relative contributions of the two mechanisms differ considerably for M=Au and Ag. The results are analogous to those recently reported for the M -NP-catalyzed de-halogenation processes.
吸附在M纳米颗粒上的氢原子的性质在许多催化还原过程中至关重要。通过同位素标记,我们确定当n较大时(即氢表现为氢化物),瞬态{(M-NP)-H}的析氢主要通过海洛夫斯基机制进行,而当n较小时(即氢表现为原子),则主要通过塔菲尔机制进行。此外,对于M = Au和Ag,这两种机制的相对贡献有很大差异。这些结果与最近报道的M-NP催化的脱卤过程的结果相似。
