Abstract

We have investigated the formation of CHx species by the reaction of p4g carbide with hydrogen on the Ni(100) surface. The CHx species were directly detected using high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). After hydrogenation of the surface carbide with 1 × 10-7 Torr of H2 at 313 K, two loss peaks at 2970 and 1380 cm-1 were observed which indicates the formation of CHx on the surface. The CHx species undergoes decomposition at 330-370 K in UHV and in 1 × 10-7 Torr H2. Isotope exchange of the CHx with D2 is slower than the formation of CHx from carbide by at least one order of magnitude.
