Susceptibility of a heterogeneous catalyst, Rh/gamma-alumina, to rapid structural change by exposure to NO.
Metal particles in a Rh/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst of differing particle size are oxidised by NO/He within 5 seconds at 313 K; rapid, highly exothermic dissociative chemisorption of NO is the initial step.
