“…This observation, which certainly complicates the interpretation of the diagrams, is not, however, unexpected in view of the effect of the temperature of evacuation on the magnetic susceptibility of different M/Ce0 2 catalysts on which hydrogen has been preadsorbed (71,204,217,218). All these results clearly show that, in the presence of a dispersed noble metal, the hydrogen desorption from ceria starts at fairly low temperatures, being significant at 373 K. Since the TPD peaks due to H 2 desorption from supported noble metal phases typically occur below 473 K (63,141,381), some overlapping between both, the direct desorption reaction from the metal and the backspillover process, seems to be unavoidable. A remarkable difference between the trace A 2 (T^j,,: 473 K) and traces B 2 and B 3 (Tram: 773 K) in Figure 4.7 is the position of the main peak.…”
