TPD is used to compare the dissociation of NO on Pt(210) and Pt(410). Flash of a NO-saturated Pt(210) sample produces a single N2peak at 500 °K and two NO Peaks at 440 and 485 °K, with about 70% of the NO dissociating. By comparison, flash of an NO-saturated Pt(410) sample yields a single N2peak at 440 °K and negligible NO. These results show that Pt(410) is considerably more active than Pt(210) for NO dissociation even though the step geometry is identical on the two surfaces and the step density is higher on Pt(210). Thus it appears that the active site for NO decomposition on platinum consists of a specific arrangement of atoms and is not just a step on the surface.
