摘要
We present an STM study of methanol oxidation to formate by co-dosing of oxygen and methanol onto Cu(110) at room temperature. Formate results from the reaction of adsorbed methoxy and isolated oxygen adatoms generated during dosing. Methanol-rich gas-phase mixtures have the highest efficiency for formate production generating characteristic alternating formate c(2x2) and O-(2x1) islands in the [001] direction. An oxygen-rich gas-phase composition does not produce formate due to preferential growth of O-(2x1) islands. Formate production at 300 K during co-dosing experiments contrasts with the case of sequential dosing as oxygen (2x1)-reconstructed Cu(110) surfaces are seen to have negligible activity toward formate production when subsequently dosed with methanol at 300 K.
