Abstract

In this work, we used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to perform a comparative study of the interaction of NO2 with two samples of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), on the surfaces of which rhodium was preliminarily deposited by evaporation in a vacuum, at room temperature and a pressure of 10–5 mbar. Before metal deposition, one of the HOPG samples was annealed in a vacuum at 600°C, and the other was bombarded with argon ions followed by exposure to air at room temperature for 1 h in order to introduce strongly bound oxygen atoms into the surface composition. After the deposition of rhodium onto the two HOPG samples, two model catalysts designated as Rh/C and Rh/C(A)–O were prepared. It was found that the interaction of NO2 with Rh/C led to the oxidation of graphite with the destruction of the surface layer. The Rh particles remained in a metallic state, but they were introduced into the near-surface layer of the carbon support. On the contrary, when the Rh/C(A)–O sample was treated with NO2, the deposited rhodium was partially converted into Rh2O3, while the graphite was oxidized to an insignificant degree and retained its original structure. The role of surface oxygen in the stabilization of graphite with respect to oxidation in NO2 was discussed.
