Influence of surface defects on activity and selectivity: a quantitative study of structure sensitivity of Pd catalysts for acetylene hydrogenation
Wenbo Xie, P. Hu
Abstract
The structure sensitivity of Pd catalysed acetylene hydrogenation is quantitatively examined using a coverage-dependent microkinetic model. Pd(211) was found to be more active than Pd(111), but present a poorer selectivity toward ethylene.
