The interaction of formic acid (HCOOH) with Pd(110) was studied using TPD and XPS. At low doses, at an adsorption temperature of 140 K, HCOOH decomposed to yield CO, CO2, H-2 and H2O during TPD. CO and H-2 were evolved in desorption-limited peaks at 470 and 320 K, respectively. The CO and H2O desorptions were saturated at very low doses indicating only a small degree of formate dehydration in such a transient experiment. The CO2 and H-2 evolution continued to increase with dose and the CO2 evolved in a decomposition-limited peak at 237 K at low doses which broadened to lower temperature with increasing coverage. This dehydrogenation of HCOOH was of first order with an activation energy of 40 kJ mol-1. At doses above 0.5 L molecularly chemisorbed HCOOH was observed to desorb at 210 K and at still higher doses physisorbed multilayers were present and desorbed at 180 K. XPS confirmed the presence of CO above 250 K and formate below this temperature. When oxygen was pre-dosed the formate was significantly stabilized and its coverage increased, the CO desorption was removed and H-2 was produced at higher temperatures at the expense of the H-2 peak at 320 K.
