The present study was aimed at investigating the reduction by hydrogen of an oxygen‐predosed nickel surface at high temperature (530 K) using metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES) and UPS (with He(I)) experimental techniques. Both techniques have allowed us to follow the evolution of the electronic structure of the valence band during H2 deposition. The work function variation seems to be related directly to the oxygen coverage of the surface and exhibits two stages: an induction period during which no reduction reaction occurs; a rapid reaction period corresponding to the reduction of oxygen. The reaction mechanism entails the formation of hydroxyl compounds but, owing to their thermal desorption at lower temperature in the form of water, no evident OH features have been observed in the MIES and UPS spectra.
