Rhodium in nanosize (1-3 nm) was prepared by vapor deposition of Rh on a well-ordered TiO 2 (110)1 × 2 single crystal. The morphology and the sizes of Rh had been determined by scanning tunneling microscopy in ultrahigh vacuum. The adsorption of CO at 300 K induces the disruption of Rh crystallites as indicated by a drastic decrease in the size of Rh particles. At higher temperature it leads to the re-forming of the Rh cluster.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
