Heterogeneous study using molecular beam

The catalytic oxidation of CO on a Pt snrface has been extensively studied in view of its relevance to automotive gas pollution. Moreover, its relative simplicity motivated its extensive use as a model systan for heterogeneous catalysis. Molecular beam studies of the catal3dic oxidation of CO on the plane (111) on platinum indicate that the reaction follows a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism [2],...
