Abstract
Oxide solid solutions NiO–MgO of high surface area were studied by XPS. The surface Ni2+ concentration was found to be equal, within experimental errors, to the bulk concentration. The result is analogous to that found previously for the low surface area NiO–MgO system and for both the high and low surface area systems of CoO–MgO. The catalytic oxidation of CO by O2, on high and low surface area NiO–MgO and CoO–MgO materials, was investigated with the aim of relating the catalytic activity with transition metal ion nature and concentration. Turnover frequency data (CO2 molecules produced per second per surface atom) show that the activity is due primarily to the transition metal ions and is not subject to the ions being in special configurations (dimers or trimers) or in special positions (edges, corners). The activity of CoO–MgO is higher than that of NiO–MgO solid solution.
