Superoxide ion (O2•–) is of great significance as a radical species implicated in diverse
chemical and biological systems. However, the chemistry knowledge of O2•–is rather …

The activation of O2 on metal surfaces is a critical process for heterogeneous catalysis and
materials oxidation. Fundamental studies of well-defined metal surfaces using a variety of …

The purpose of this book is the development of the principles and experimental techniques
underlying near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and the …

Owing to their unique physical and chemical properties, transition metal compounds,
especially transition metal oxides, nitrides, carbides and sulfides, have been the subject of …

The catalytic activity of activated carbons in oxidation reactions with O 2 is enhanced after
treatment with NH 3 or HCN at elevated temperatures (600–900° C). The oxidation of dilute …

of available information. Even more importantly, some authors who have contributed
substantially to an area may have been overlooked. For this I apologize. I have, however …

The tunneling current from a scanning tunneling microscope was used to image and
dissociate single O 2 molecules on the Pt (111) surface in the temperature range of 40 to …

A model is presented which allows the determination of molecular orientations on surfaces
from analysis of the angle-dependent resonance intensities in K-shell near-edge x-ray …

A review is given of our present understanding of the chemisorption of oxygen on metal
surfaces such as Cu, Ni, and Ag. We will survey the experimental results with special …

We identified the superoxide anion as the intermediate in the oxygen (O2) reduction reaction
on a platinum (Pt) electrode in alkaline solution (pH= 11) using a surface-enhanced infrared …
