Response of a catalytic reaction to periodic variation of the CO pressure: IncreasedCO2production and dynamic phase transition

Abstract: We present a kinetic Monte Carlo study of the dynamical response of a Ziff-Gulari-Barshad model for CO oxidation with CO desorption to periodic variation of the CO pressure. We use a square-wave periodic pressure variation with parameters that can be tuned to enhance the catalytic activity. We produce evidence that, below a critical value of the desorption rate, the driven system undergoes a dynamic phase transition between a CO 2 productive phase and a nonproductive one at a critical value of the period and w… Show more

“…(Experimental evidence indicates that the desorption rate of oxygen is negligible [29].) Hysteresis is then observed as y varies close to y 2 , which now becomes a function of the desorption rate [40][41][42]. In the present paper we study the effects of this CO desorption process on our previous model for CO oxidation with inert impurities in the gas phase and next-nearest-neighbor adsorption of oxygen atoms [12].…”

“…The introduction of an asymmetrically oscillating reactant pressure makes the transition second-order. Fourth order cumulants and finite size scaling evidence suggests that this far from equilibrium phase transition belongs to the equilibrium Ising universality class [24].…”

“…These include mean-field studies of domainwall motion in an anisotropic XY model in one dimension [12,13,14], KMC simulations of a three-dimensional Ising system [15], and KMC simulations of a uniaxially anisotropic Heisenberg system in an off-axial field [16], an elliptically polarized applied field [17], and with the effect of a thin-film surface energy [18,19,20]. The phenomenon has also been observed in simulations of CO oxidation under oscillating CO pressure [21,22]. Further simulation studies of the DPT in the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model have appeared [23,24,25,26,27], as well as analytical studies of the DPT [28,29,30,31].…”
