A two-dimensional mathematical model of carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation is investigated for the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism on the surface of a Platinum (Pt) catalyst. The adsorbate-driven structural phase transition of catalytic surface is taken into account. The stability analysis of the model solutions is carried out. It is shown that the spatio-temporal periodic chemical oscillations of CO and oxygen (O) surface coverages and a fraction of the surface in the non-reconstructed (1 × 1)-structure occur. Conditions for Hopf and Turing bifurcation to arise are investigated.
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.
