Zusammenfassung:
The oxidation and reduction of a bimetallic Ni/Rh model catalyst during the water forming O2+H2 reaction is studied with low-energy electron microscopy, microspot-low-energy electron diffraction, and x-ray photoemission electron microscopy. Oxidation of a submonolayer Ni film results in the formation of three-dimensional (3D) NiO nanoparticles. Reduction of 3D-NiO in H2 produces a dispersed two-dimensional film of metallic Ni. Chemical waves during the O2+H2 reaction involve a cyclic transformation between 3D-NiO and 2D-NiO.
