Tracing the transient reaction kinetics of adsorbed species by in situ/operando infrared spectroscopy

The dynamic reaction behavior (i.e., transient responses) of IR-observable adsorbed species and gaseous products obtained from transient kinetic studies provide valuable kinetic and mechanistic information, namely: the abundance of active intermediates and their reactivity distribution, the chemical...

description The dynamic reaction behavior (i.e., transient responses) of IR-observable adsorbed species and gaseous products obtained from transient kinetic studies provide valuable kinetic and mechanistic information, namely: the abundance of active intermediates and their reactivity distribution, the chemical structure of IR-observable active and spectator species, the sequence of their formation, and the kinetically significant and rate-determining step under reaction conditions of practical catalysis. We discuss the use of transient response data to elucidate the reaction mechanisms of several gas-solid reactions: CO/H2, CO/H2/C2H4, photocatalytic oxidation of ethanol, and the CO2-amine reaction. The IR coupled with transient kinetic techniques is especially useful for investigating the mechanisms of photocatalytic reactions because both photogenerated electrons and many adsorbed species are IR-active (exhibiting measurable IR bands), and their evolution occurs on a time scale of seconds at ambient temperature. We highlight the key features and limitations of in situ IR with transient kinetics, as well as their significance in catalyst design.
