Vibrationally excited CO2 formed in CO plus NO reaction on Pd(110) surface in high surface temperature range
The infrared chemiluminescence spectra of CO2 formed during steady-state CO+NO reaction over Pd(110) indicated that the temperature of the bending vibrational mode was much higher than that of the antisymmetric one at higher surface temperatures such as 800-850 K. Especially, in the high temperature range, more vibrationally excited CO2 was formed from CO+NO reaction than CO+O-2 reaction. On the basis of the result, we propose the model structure of reaction intermediates for CO2 formation in CO+NO reaction, which is different from that in CO+O-2 reaction.
