The adsorption of carbon monoxide on the TiO2 (anatase) surface at room temperature was studied by infrared spectroscopy and volumetry. The experimental data obtained indicate weak adsorption of CO molecules on the exponentially heterogeneous surface. The adsorption heat decreases according to the logarithmic law in the coverage range of 0.002-0.03. The extinction coefficient of adsorbed CO for the heterogeneous CO/TiO2 system is calculated using the Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law with correction for the Lorenz field taken into account. The conditions for the applicability of the Bouguer-Lambert-Beer's law for the study of heterogeneous systems are discussed.
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.
