Heterogeneously catalysed reactions using bimetallic catalysts are widespread and responsible for the production of large quantities of high value industrial chemicals. One example is the synthesis of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) from the reaction of ethylene and acetic acid over supported Pd/Au catalysts. The promoting role of Au in this reaction has been investigated by a number of research groups worldwide in recent years. It has been proposed that the VAM forming reaction is extremely sensitive to the surface composition and the local atomic arrangement at the bimetallic surface. We have established that medium energy ion scattering (MEIS), unlike most other surface analytical techniques, is capable of quantifying the surface composition even under the influence of the adsorbate. We have recently used MEIS to show that the surface composition of Pd/Au surfaces is itself influenced by the adsorption of acetic acid. This phenomenon of adsorbate induced segregation has been largely ignored in previous studies of bimetallic catalysts despite the fact that such effects are predicted on thermodynamic grounds. In this project, we will use MEIS to quantify the temperature, composition and crystal face dependence of adsorbate induced segregation at single crystal PdAu surfaces. Furthermore, we will increase the relevance of our model systems by using MEIS to characterise alloying, sintering and adsorbate induced segregation at bimetallic Pd/Au nanoparticles grown on a planar oxide surface. We will utilise scanning tunnelling microscopy, reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption to provide complementary information on the size, shape and adsorption properties of the bimetallic nanoparticles.

使用双金属催化剂的多相催化反应广泛存在，并用于生产大量高价值工业化学品。一个例子是乙烯和乙酸在负载型钯/金催化剂上反应合成醋酸乙烯单体（VAM）。近年来，世界上许多研究小组对Au在该反应中的促进作用进行了研究。研究表明，VAM形成反应对表面组成和双金属表面局部原子排列极为敏感。我们已经确定，介质能量离子散射（MEIS），不像大多数其他表面分析技术，能够定量的表面组成，即使在吸附质的影响下。我们最近使用MEIS表明，Pd/Au表面的表面组成本身受到乙酸吸附的影响。在以往的双金属催化剂研究中，这种吸附质诱导的偏析现象在很大程度上被忽略了，尽管事实上这种效应是在热力学的基础上预测的。在这个项目中，我们将使用MEIS来量化单晶PdAu表面上吸附质诱导偏析的温度、成分和晶面依赖性。此外，我们将通过使用MEIS来表征在平面氧化物表面生长的双金属Pd/Au纳米颗粒的合金化、烧结和吸附诱导偏析，从而增加我们模型系统的相关性。我们将利用扫描隧道显微镜，反射吸收红外光谱和温度程序解吸来提供关于双金属纳米颗粒的大小，形状和吸附特性的补充信息。
