An unexpected pathway for the catalytic oxidation of methylidyne on Rh{111} as a route to syngas.

This study investigates the adsorption properties of methylidyne (CH) on Rh{111}, its partial and full oxidation as well as its surface mobility, by means of plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Besides investigating known oxidation pathways on rhodium, such as decomposition of C...
