Selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen on atomic oxygen precovered Au(111).
We demonstrate ammonia oxidation promoted by an atomic oxygen precovered Au(111) surface. The selectivity of the catalytic oxidation of ammonia to NO or N2 on Au(111) is tunable by the atomic oxygen coverage. We propose that N2 and NO are produced via the recombination reactions of Nad + Nad and Nad + Oad.
