Adsorption and ordering of methionine molecules on Ge(100) surface have been studied using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) to investigate the adsorption structure as a function of coverage. Analysis of C 1s, S 2p, N 1s, and O 1s core levels reveals quite different according to methionine coverage. We found that the relative population of the two types of thiolates induces a structural change in the ordering from $2\;{\times}\;1$ to $1\;{\times}\;1$. Such an unusual evolution of the methionine adsorption on the Ge(100) surface is discussed in relation to chemical reactions and possible molecular rearrangement on the surface.

High-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES) measurements were collected and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to track the coverage dependent variation of the absorption structure of 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde (C4H3SCHO: TPCA) on the Ge(100) surface at room temperature. In an effort to identify the most probably adsorption structures on the Ge(100) surface, we deposited TPCA molecules at a low coverage and at a high coverage and compared the differences between the electronic features measured using HRPES. The HRPES data provided three possible adsorption structures of TPCA on the Ge(100) surfaces, and DFT calculations were used to determine the plausibility of the structures. HRPES analysis, corroborated by DFT calculations, indicated that an S-dative bonded structure was the most probable adsorption structure at relatively lower coverage levels, the [4+2] cycloaddition structure was the second most probable structure, and the [2+2]-C=O cycloaddition structure was the last probable structure on the Ge(100) surfaces at relatively higher coverage levels.

Understanding adsorption behavior organic molecules at oxide surfaces is very important for the application of organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Recently, monoethanolamine (MEA) adsorbed on $TiO_2$ surface has received great interests because it can lower the work function of $TiO_2$ in photo-electronic devices such as OLED and solar cells. In this study, we investigated the role of surface defects in adsorption behaviors of MEA at the rutile $TiO_2$ (110) surface by combined study of scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations. Our results revealed that oxygen vacancy is the most stable adsorption site for MEA on $TiO_2$ (110) surface at low coverage. As coverage increases, the oxygen vacancies are occupied with the molecules and MEA molecules start to adsorb at Ti rows at higher coverages. Our results show that the defects at oxide surfaces and the intermolecular interactions are important factors for determining stable adsorption structure of MEA at $TiO_2$ (110) surfaces.

New equipment for quantitative and qualitative adsorption of volatile organic compound was set up, and using this equipment, adsorption behaviors of various carbob-based nanomaterials and $TiO_2$ thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition were compared. We could conclud that $TiO_2$ thin films can show higher adsorption capacity of toluene comparing to the carbon-based nanostructures due to higher affinity of the surface OH groups of $TiO_2$ towards toluene adsorption. We also demonstrate that our method allows to discriminate reversible and irreversible adsorptions at a given temperature.

Adsorption and desorption of toluene from bare and $TiO_2$-coated silica with a mean pore size of 15 nm was studied using breakthrough curves and temperature programmed desorption. Thicknesses of $TiO_2$ films prepared by atomic layer deposition on silica were < 2 nm, and ~ 5 nm, respectively. For toluene adsorption, both dry and humid conditions were used. $TiO_2$-thin film significantly improved toluene adsorption capacity of silica under dry condition, whereas desorption of toluene from the surface as a consequence of displacement by water vapor was more pronounced for $TiO_2$-coated samples with respect to the result of bare ones. In the TPD experiments, silica with a thinner $TiO_2$ film (thickness < 2 nm) showed the highest reactivity for toluene oxidation to $CO_2$ in the absence and presence of water. We show that the toluene adsorption and oxidation reactivity of silica can be controlled by varying thickness of $TiO_2$ thin films.
