Stabilization by Configurational Entropy of the Cu(II) Active Site during CO Oxidation on Mg0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2O

Abstract: The mechanisms of CO oxidation on the Mg 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 Cu 0.2 Zn 0.2 O high-entropy oxide were studied by means of operando soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy. We found that Cu is the active metal and that Cu(II) can be rapidly reduced to Cu(I) by CO when the temperature is higher than 130 °C. Co and Ni do not have any role in this respect. The Cu(II) oxidation state can be easily but slowly r… Show more

“…E1 shows a considerable broadening of all the reflections, except for the 111 family. This broadening is consistent with a tetragonal distortion of the rock-salt structure [6,7]. The broadening decreases significantly by decreasing the number of components, and therefore the configurational entropy.…”

“…1F ). Identifying the catalytic active sites in HEMs can also be realized by monitoring the change of the oxidation states of different elements with operando XAS measurements ( 48 ). On the other hand, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyzes the chemical environment including elemental composition and oxidation states on the surface and subsurface regions.…”

“…Experimental methods have drastically improved in their resolution and capabilities, with the possibility to follow in real-time surface chemical reactions using both microscopic 43,44 and spectroscopic 45,46 tools. Similarly, the advent of operando techniques [47][48][49][50][51] is abating the long-standing hurdle related to the ''pressure gap'' 52 between in situ experiments in an ultrahigh vacuum and industrial catalytic processes. 53 Correspondingly, theoretical models accomplished a huge leap with the unceasing upgrading of computational capabilities, [54][55][56][57][58] including corrections for taking into account weak forces, 59,60 now enabling the prediction of chemical properties of surfaces and interfaces.…”
