N2 formation during NO and NH3 reduction on Pt

The steady state reaction of NO with H2 and NH3 on Pt(l 0 0) has been studied using REMPI detection of the N2 product state distributions [134]. These reactions show very complex kinetics, with strongly coverage dependent reaction rates which lead to kinetic oscillations [135] and explosive desorption [136]. This surface also shows a phase transition between the clean surface hex reconstructed phase and
