Abstract
The adsorption of oxygen(O2) and the effect of oxygen on the chemisorption of water(D2O) and hydrogen(D2) on polycrystalline silver surface have been studied using the technique of thermal desorption spectroscopy(TDS) under ultra-high vacuum(UHV) condition. Three different states of adsorbed oxygen are observed on the surface. The adsorptions and reactions of water and hydrogen on the oxygendosed surface are strongly affected by the pre-adsorbed oxygen. Water on the oxygen-dosed surface shows a maximum desorption at 430K. During the adsorption of hydrogen on the oxygen-dosed surface, hydrogen is rapidly oxidized by a stepwise reaction in which hydrogen reacts first with O(a) to yield hydroxyl intermediate[OD(a)] and then this intermediate reacts to form water. The rate-determining step in this reaction is desorption of water.
