The coadsorption of carbon monoxide and oxygen on polycrystalline nickel surface has been studied using XPS at the room temperaure. The adsorption of CO on the nickel surface precovered partially with oxygen is found to take place by the following steps: The CO molecules react with the preadsorbed oxygen atoms to liberate $CO_2$ gas at the initial stage of low CO exposures, and they are coadsorbed gradually with the increasing CO exposures. The extent of coadsorption at the higher CO exposures is found to decrease with the increasing degree of oxygen preadsorption. This finding is explained in terms of the reduced adsorption site for CO as a consequence of oxygen preadsorption. The CO molecules preadsorbed on the nickel surface inhibited the adsorption of $O_2$ molecules. The increase of oxygen exposure led to the dissociation of preadsorbed CO, and the NiO layers were formed concurrently. The dissociation was rendered to arise from an oxygen-to-CO energy transfer.

We have studied the chemisorption of oxygen at room temperature on Fe layers deposited on Pt(111) substrates by using core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the oxygen atoms are chemisorbed when the thickness of the Fe layers is not larger than 6 monolayers. Upon post-annealing, it was found that part of the chemisorbed atoms are desorbed at a temperature range 600 - 700 K, after which the intermixing between Fe and Pt atoms occurs. The overall trend of this intermixing was very similar to the Fe/Pt(111) surface without oxygen exposure. The remaining oxygen adatoms, the amount of which is about a half of the total, were found to be eventually desorbed from the surface upon post-annealing at 1000 K. The binding energy of this phase was higher than that of the oxygen atoms desorbed at lower temperatures by 1.3 eV.

The adsorption equilibria of oxygen, nitrogen and argon on carbonaceous adsorbent with slit-shaped and randomly etched graphite (REG) pores were calculated by molecular simulation method. Reliable models of adsorbents and adsorbates for adsorption equilibria are important for the correct design of industrial adsorptive separation processes. At the smallest physical pore of $5.6{\AA}$, only oxygen molecules were accommodated at the center of the slit-shaped pore, and from $5.9{\AA}$ nitrogen and argon molecules could be accommodated in the pores. Slit pores showed higher adsorption capacity compared with REG pores with same averaged reenterance pore size due to dead volume and inaccessible volume in defected pores. And it was shown the adsorption capacities of oxygen and argon was same in larger pore size. From calculated adsorption isotherms at 298 K it showed that the adsorption capacity ratio of oxygen to nitrogen is increased as pressure is increased.

The adsorptive behaviors of carbon monoxide and methanol over $V_2O_5$catalyst were studied by means of thermal desorptlon spectroscopy (TDS) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Carbon monoxide adsorbed on oxygen-deficient V sites as well as on V=O groups of the $V_2O_5$ surface. CO adsorbed on the V sites desorbed at 380 K while CO adsorbed on the V=O groups formed carbonate species with surface oxygen of $V_2O_5$ and desorbed as $CO_2$ resulting in the reduction of the surface of she $V_2O_5$catalyst. The amount of CO adsorbed in the form of carbonate species increased by both the pre- and post-adsorbed oxygen. The adsorptive behavior of methanol over the catalyst was studied by thermal desorption experiments of $CH_3OH$, HCHO, CO, and $H_2$ upon methanol adsorption at 298 K. The results showed that methanol was adsorbed dissociatively on the $V_2O_5$catalyst as methoxy and hydroxyl groups at 298K.

공기중의 산소농축 PSA 기술로 RPSA(Rapid Pressure swing adsorption)이 적용되므로 1979년 이후 소형의 의료용 장치로 상업화되기 시작하였다. 산소발생기(산소농축기)의 경우에도 개량형 RPSA방식을 적용한 기술로써 최근 우리나라도 고령화 사회가 되므로써 의료용으로 사용이 확대되고 있으며, 기타 작업장이나 특수 시설 등에서 사용이 증대되고 있다. 이러한 산소농축기의 핵심부품 중의 하나인 흡착탑의 경우 흡착제 구성 및 흡착탑의 구조에 의하여 성능이 좌우되고 있다. 현재 상용화된 제올라이트의 각 흡착제의 흡착특성을 도출하기 위하여 압력, 온도, 수분함유량에 따른 파과곡선을 측정하여 흡착탑의 단수에 따른 최적 단수를 도출하였다.

본 연구에서는 코코넛 껍질로부터 제조한 활성탄을 열 및 산소-암모니아의 혼합가스로 전처리하여 표면의 특성 변화와 이산화황 흡착능에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 전처리한 활성탄으로 이산화황 흡착실험을 수행한 결과, 전처리한 활성탄은 기본 활성탄 시료보다 높은 흡착능력을 보였다. 본 연구의 전처리 실험에서는 산소와 암모니아를 주입하여 활성점을 제공하는 산소와 환원성 분위기를 조성하는 질소관능기를 도입하였다. 전처리 조건은 0∼25%의 암모니아와 473∼1273K의 온도이며 처리조건을 변화시킴으로써 표면 기능의 척도가 되는 세공구조와 원소조성 및 표면 관능기 등에 직접적인 영향을 주었다. 흡착능력은 고정층 반응기에서 전자 비틀림 저울로 이산화황 흡착량을 측정하여 비교하였고, 이 과정 중의 활성탄 표면의 특성변화를 원소분석, 승온탈착법, 산-염기 적정법, 주사현미경법 등의 분석 방법을 통해서 알아보았다. 그 결과, 이산화황의 최대 흡착 능력은 온도조건 973∼1173K에서 나타났다. 또한, 암모니아로 처리하지 않은 활성탄에 비하여 암모니아로 처리한 활성탄은 그 주입농도에 관계없이 이산화황의 흡착제거율을 약 48% 정도 향상시켰다.

Oxygen chemisorption on single crystal ZrC(111) surface was studied by high-resolution electron energy loss and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. At a low amount of oxygen exposure, adsorbed oxygen atoms construct $(\sqrt{3}{\times}\sqrt{3})R30^{\circ}$ structure. On the other hand, oxygen adsorption changes into $1{\times}1$ structure as the amount of oxygen exposure increases. The adsorbed oxygen atoms show smaller vertical distance from the Zr topmost layer in the $1{\times}1$ structure than in the $(\sqrt{3}{\times}\sqrt{3})R30^{\circ}$ structure and approach to the bridge site rather than 3-fold hollow site. The two different oxygen adsorption behavior comes from the two different surface stales of the clean ZrC(111) surface.

Si 산화는 반도체 공정상 필요한 과정으로 산업적으로나 학문적으로 중요하고 많이 연구되었다. 이중에서 Si(1110-7x7표면에서 초기 흡착된 산소는 준안정적 상태로 존재하며 표면온도, 산소의 노출량 그리고 진공도에 따라 그 수명이 제한된다. 이러한 준안정적 상태의 산소의 화학적 성질은 여러 표면분석장비가 동원되어 연구되었으나 아직까지 논쟁이 되고 있다. 이 경우 산소가 어떤 상태로 존재하는가는 표면화학종을 검출함으로서 해결될 수 있다. 저에너지 Cs+ 이온 반응성 산란은 이러한 요구를 충족시킬수 있는 가장 적합한 실험 방법중의 하나이다. 저에너지 Cs+ 이온 산란의 특징 중의 하나는 입사된 Cs+ 이온이 표면에 흡착된 화학종과 충돌후 탈착되면서 반응을 하여 송이 이온을 형성한다는 것이다. 이 송이 이온을 관측함으로서 표면에 존재하는 화학종을 알아 낼 수 있다. 이에 산소가 흡착된 Si(111)-7x7 표면에서의 산소의 준안정적 상태가 저에너지 Cs+ 이온 산란 실험을 통하여 연구되었다. 실험은 0.2-2L(1Langmuir = 10-6 Torr x 1 sec) 산소 노출량과 -15$0^{\circ}C$ - $25^{\circ}C$의 표면온도 그리고 5eV - 20eV의 Cs+ 이온 충돌에너지에서 CsSiO+ 이온이 유일한 생산물로서 검출되었다. CsSiO+ 이온은 입사된 Cs+ 이온과 표면에 존재하는 SiO 분자가 충돌 후 반응하여 탈착된 것으로 생각된다. 이것은 낮은 산소 노출량 즉, 초기 산화 단계에서 SiO가 표면에 존재한다는 것을 의미한다. 즉, 산소 분자는 산화단계의 초기에 해리되어 표면에 흡착되고 선구물질인 SiO를 형성함을 제시한다. 최근의 이론적 계산인 density functional calculation에서도 산소분자가 Si(111)-7$\times$7 표면의 준안정적 산화상태의 선구물질일 가능성을 배제한다. 이는 본 저에너지 Cs+ 이온 반응성 산란실험을 뒷받침하는 계산 결과이다. 높은 Cs+ 이온 충돌에너지에서 CsSi+, Si+, SiO+, Si2+, Si2O+ 등이 추가로 검출되었다. 이는 CsSi 이온을 제외하고 수 keV의 충돌에너지를 사용하는 이차 이온 질량 분석법과 비슷한 결과이다.

The overall reaction rate of fuel cell is governed by oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the cathode due to its slowest reaction compared to the oxidation of hydrogen in the anode. The ORR efficiency can be readily evaluated by examining the adsorption strength of atomic oxygen on the surface of catalysts (i.e., known as a descriptor) and the adsorption energy can be controlled by transforming the surface geometry of catalysts. In the current study, the effect of the surface geometry of catalysts (i.e., strain effect) on the adsorption strength of atomic oxygen on platinum catalysts was analyzed by using density functional theory (DFT). The optimized lattice constant of Pt ($3.977{\AA}$) was increased and decreased by 1% to apply tensile and compressive strain to the Pt surface. Then the oxygen adsorption strengths on the modified Pt surfaces were compared and the electron charge density of the O-adsorbed Pt surfaces was analyzed. As the interatomic distance increased, the oxygen adsorption strength became stronger and the d-band center of the Pt surface atoms was shifted toward the Fermi level, implying that anti-bonding orbitals were shifted to the conduction band from the valence band (i.e., the anti-bonding between O and Pt was less likely formed). Consequently, enhanced ORR efficiency may be expected if the surface Pt-Pt distance can be reduced by approximately 2~4% compared to the pure Pt owing to the moderately controlled oxygen binding strength for improved ORR.

Partial oxidation of ethylene over 10wt% $Ag/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst was studied with a pulse reactor which was connected directly to a G. C. When ethylene was injected after oxygen injection at the temperature where molecular adsorption of oxygen is difficult ethylene oxide was evolved. From the results, it is suggested that adsorbed atomic oxygen is related with the evolution of ethylene oxide. The selectivity to ethylene oxide decreased with the decrease of the amounts of adsorbed oxygen and bulk oxygen. Ethylene oxide was either decomposed to ethylene and adsorbed oxygen or isomerized to acetaldehyde. However, the isomerization of ethylene oxide to acetaldehyde was strongly suppressed by the preadsorbed oxygen.
