Cerium (Ce) thin films were prepared under an ultra high vacuum condition, and the reactivity of H2O gas with the Ce surface was quantitatively measured for the reaction probability rH2Oand the gas amount NH2Oreacted at 298 K. The H2O adsorption proceeded at the highest reaction rate even at 298 K on a clean Ce surface. As the H2O reactivity drops, a marked desorption of H2gas from the surface was observed. From the measurement of the partial pressure of the desorbed H2gas, the reaction probability r2H/H2Oof the H atoms from H2O molecules were obtained. From the pressure dependence of the H2O adsorption rate, the rate controlling step was estimated. The rate controlling step was found to be the dissociation of H2O molecules on the Ce surface from the start to the end of the reaction. The activation energy for the H2O adsorption was almost zero at rH2O=1, and then increased at rH2O<1. The activation energy for the surface reactions (hydride and/or hydroxide formations) of the H atoms from H2O was almost zero at r2H/H2O=1, and then sharply increased at r2H/H2O<1 with increasing NH2O. The surface reactions of the H atoms from H2O become strongly inhibited, and the recombination of the H atoms become active. Based on these data, complicated mechanisms of the H2O adsorption on the Ce surface are discussed.
