摘要
The effects of submonolayer deposits of titania on the hydrogenation of ethylene and the hydrogenolysis of ethane on a Rh foil have been investigated. Titania has been found to suppress the activity of Rh for both reactions, and the rate of each reaction is proportional to the exposed Rh area. Titania induces no change in the activation energy of either reaction. Furthermore, high temperature reduction in H-2 does not change the activation energy for ethane hydrogenolysis on a titania-covered Rh foil. It appears that the titania overlayer has no effect on the activation of H-2, ethylene, or ethane, and that the suppression of activity for these reactions is purely the result of titania blocking active sites.
