Abstract
A direct observation of the “working state of the catalyst” by Auger Electron Spectroscopy during the reaction between segregated sulfur and gaseous oxygen on molybdenum revealed that the reaction takes place through the direct interaction between the ambient oxygen molecules and the surface sulfur at lower temperatures, whereas it proceeds predominantly between the sulfur and the chemisorbed oxygen at higher temperatures.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
