Ap Signatures

It is also possible to identify the neighbour atoms to the OH adsorption sites. It has been observed in previous work that the signature curves are significantly affected when OH is adsorbed atop of a Pt atom near another foreign metal atom such as Ni, Co or Ru. The fingerprint is found to be shifted downward in energy 

The latter feature renders the Ap XANES a suitable technique to unravel complex reaction mechanisms and synergetic actions, as they are often active in bimetalhc catalysts. One example might be the bifunctional mechanism in CO poisoning of Pt-Ru fuel cell anodes, which will be discussed in detail below. 

The accuracy of the A a method depends on the availability of a good reference spectrum, most favourably a spectrum obtained from the blank, adsorbate free metallic snrface. Unfortunately, for in-situ measurements in a working fuel cell the situation is not so straightforward, as it is difficult to find an appropriate reference spectram where no species, or at least a controlled amount, are adsorbed on the surface. The specific measmes taken for methanol and reformate operation in a working fuel cell, i.e., when there is CO, H and 0[H] co-adsorption, are described below. More specifically, we illustrate the Ap XANES technique to follow the coverage of specific adsorbates on carbon snpported Pt and different Pt/Rn bimetallic systems in pnre H2, in simulated reformate (150 ppm CO in H2) and in direct methanol operation as a function of current in an operating PEM fuel cell. 

In fuel cell operation, the different H adsorbates should also be present on the Pt and Pt/Ru surface, although it is expected that the reaction kinetics (Volmer-Tafel and Volmer-Heyrovski kinet-

A. You may cancel an AP grade permanently only if the request is received by June 15 of the year in which the exam was taken. There is no fee for this service, but a signature is required to process the cancellation. Once a grade is cancelled, it is permanently deleted from the records. 

Large anion size was also found to favor A1 stabilization, since the 1710 cm signature did not appear till a potential higher than 5.0 V was reached for the new, asymmetric imide. Unlike the interpretation of Krause et al., Kanamura et al. attributed its inertness to the well-distributed negative charge and the lower probability of these anions forming an ion pair with AP+. ... 

Although AP is the most widely used oxidizer for composite propellants, it is not environmentally friendly, and results in acid rain and the hazard of ozone depletion. Also its exhaust signature leads to problems of detection and tracking... 

This feature has been interpreted as a signature of the transition between regimes II and III. So, once B(1) (r p0 + Ap) is known in the dense-fluid regime III, it is easy to calculate Btl,(r p0 — Ap) in the intermediate-density regime E. Unfortunately, since the highest liquid density is 0.95 (Aplnax 0.35), the authors could not provide further information for densities <0.25. Therefore, Eq. (109) is of course useable for these diluted states.

The recognition that the CD bands corresponding to the AP and IP forms have different phases, allowing us to observe both bands simultaneously notwithstanding their proximity, made the CD method particularly useful for such studies. The signature for this IP species is a positive CD band centered near 300—314 nm and is well illustrated on Elh, where both the IP and AP tautomeric forms can be seen simultaneously (Figure 3). To the author s knowledge, no electronic absorption characteristic of the APH form or the YL has yet been proposed.

Experimental data are compared with theoretical signatures from FEFF 8.0 (scaled as indicated) obtained as illustrated in Fig. 3 for CO adsorbed in an atop site, and for atop and fee H. Shaded area indicates energy regions utilized to determine relative CO and Uupd Ap magnitudes or coverages. Only fee Hupd is seen experimentally here.
