Bridging the material and pressure gaps in catalysis studies by Au/TiO2/Ru model catalysts and UHV attached high pressure cell

Abstract

For bridging the pressure gap in catalysis studies, a high pressure cell for the measurement of reaction kinetics of model catalysts and in situ PM-FTIR spectroscopy was designed and manufactured. For bridging the material gap in catalysis studies, Au/TiO2 model catalysts were prepared and characterized in UHV. Reaction rate of CO oxidation in high pressure cell showed that the material and pressure gaps have been bridged.
