Identification of the surface species responsible for N2O formation from the chemisorption of NO on Rh/alumina.
Energy dispersive EXAFS (EDE) and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS) are combined synchronously at high time resolution (17 Hz) to probe how NO(g) reacts with gamma-Al(2)O(3) supported, metallic Rh nanoparticles of an average 11 A diameter; a bent nitrosyl species is considered to be the key to the formation of N(2)O.
