H adsorption on Au catalysts is weak and reversible, making it difficult to quantitatively study. We demonstrate H adsorption on Au/TiO catalysts results in electron transfer to the support, inducing shifts in the FTIR background. This broad background absorbance (BBA) signal is used to quantify H adsorption; adsorption equilibrium constants are comparable to volumetric adsorption measurements. H adsorption kinetics measured with the BBA show a lower E value (23 kJ mol ) for H adsorption than previously reported from proxy H/D exchange (33 kJ mol ). We also identify a previously unreported H-O-H bending vibration associated with proton adsorption on electronically distinct Ti-OH metal-support interface sites, providing new insight into the nature and dynamics of H adsorption at the Au/TiO interface.
氢在金催化剂上的吸附较弱且可逆,难以进行定量研究。我们证明氢在金/二氧化钛催化剂上的吸附会导致电子转移至载体,从而引起傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)背景的位移。这种宽背景吸收(BBA)信号用于量化氢吸附;吸附平衡常数与体积吸附测量结果相当。用BBA测量的氢吸附动力学表明,氢吸附的活化能值(E值)较低(23 kJ·mol⁻¹),低于先前通过氢/氘交换间接测量得到的值(33 kJ·mol⁻¹)。我们还识别出一种先前未报道的与质子吸附在电子性质不同的Ti-OH金属-载体界面位点上相关的H-O-H弯曲振动,这为金/二氧化钛界面处氢吸附的本质和动力学提供了新的见解。
