title: In situ real-time diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) study of hydrogen adsorption and desorption on Ir/SiO2 catalyst.
abstract: The adsorption and desorption of hydrogen on Ir/SiO(2) catalyst were studied by using in situ diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) combined with curve-fitting analysis. The results indicate that there are three different surface species formed  on the catalyst that correspond to the peaks at 1950, 2010, and 2035 cm(-1), respectively, when exposed in H(2) flow at 130 °C. These surface species display different adsorption and desorption trends. Surface hydride forms after the catalyst is cooled to 80 °C  and it disappears after the catalyst is heated to 130 °C again. This study may help us understand the interaction between hydrogen and noble metals and thus give more insights to heterogeneous catalytic mechanism involving hydrogen and hydrogen storage using metal materials.
