Field-emission microscopic study of catalytic decomposition of methanol on metal surfaces. Part 1.—Tungsten

Abstract

Field-emission microscopy (FEM) has been used to study the adsorption and thermal decomposition of CH3OH on W. At room temperature, the dosage of CH3OH has remarkable control of the shift in average work function, ϕ. Small doses cause an increase in ϕ while heavy doses cause a decrease, suggesting negatively or positively charged adsorption intermediates, respectively. In the latter case, in comparison with HCHO on W, heat treatment above ≈ 650 K causes similar changes in emission pattern and average work function. These results confirm the proposal that adsorbed HCHO is one of the reaction intermediates in the catalytic decomposition of CH3OH on W.
