It shows that the top site of Cu(110) surface is preferable for Et-O adsorption and the orientation of C-C bond of Et-O is parallel to the [110] direction of the substratc. The distance of an oxygen of Et-O to the Cu atom is approximately 1.5817(?). It is different from the supposition of C. Benndorf et al., in which the oxygen was proposed on the short bridge site with C-C bond orientating to [110] direction of Cu(110)展开更多

Particularly, the structures of CO on Pt(111) have been extensively investigated, owing to its importance to both fundamental and applied catalysis. Yet, much less is known regarding CO adsorption on a Pt(111) surface modulated by supported oxide nanostructures,which is of more relevance to technical catalysis. We thus investigated the coverage-dependent adsorption of CO on a Pt(111) surface partially covered by Fe Oxnanostructures, which has been demonstrated as a remarkable catalyst for low-temperature CO oxidation. We found that, due to its strong chemisorption, the coverage-dependent structure of CO on bare Pt is not influenced by the presence of Fe Ox. But,oxygen-terminated Fe Oxnanostructures could modulate the diffusivity of CO at their vicinity, and thus affect the formation of ordered CO superstructures at low temperatures. Using scanning tunneling microscopy(STM), we inspected the diffusivity of CO, followed the phase transitions of CO domains, and resolved the molecular details of the coverage-dependent CO structures. Our results provide a full picture for CO adsorption on a Pt(111) surface modulated by oxide nanostructures and shed lights on the inter-adsorbate interaction on metal surfaces.展开更多

It was found that the ZnO nanorods with a diameter of 0.5 μm and the length of 10 μm were firmly grown on the struts of the open-cell aluminum foams, and the 3D hierarchical structured adsorbent Zn O nanorods/Al foam（r-ZnO/AF） exhibits a higher adsorption capacity for Brilliant Blue R（BBR） in aqueous solutions, more stable sorption regenerable behavior and solid–liquid separability in contrast to the corresponding n-ZnO powder sample. The kinetics of the adsorption process was also discussed.展开更多
