Abstract

We have explored and developed laser ablation as a tool to synthesize realistic planar models of high surface area catalysts as well as novel materials, not accessible with wet chemical methods. The process is illustrated by data for dispersion and electron structure modifications following thermal treatments of alumina supported copper oxide. Planar models of different wet and dry carrier/overlayer combinations were prepared and exposed to oxidizing and reducing atmosphere at 500°C. Characterization was made by XPS/ESCA. The data reveal the importance of surface hydroxyl groups in the two initial components to control coalescence and interdiffusion. The ablation route is part of our ongoing DENOX project and comparisons are made with other materials, tested for their materials properties and catalytic behavior in HC/NO reactions.
