However, their catalytic application is limited by a lack of understanding of the factors influencing the ORR performance. To improve this understanding, we examine the activity of monolayer Au<sub>x</sub>Pt<sub>1−x</sub> surface alloys supported on Pt(111) using density functional theory. We found that the catalytic activity of Au<sub>x</sub>Pt<sub>1−x</sub>/Pt(111) alloys varies significantly with the surface atomic arrangements, where phase−segregated surfaces show higher activity than those with random atomic arrangements. A key factor is a competitive strain influencing the Pt adsorption site activity. Distant Au atoms induce a long−range compressive strain that enhances Pt site activity, while adjacent Au atoms generate tensile strain that slightly reduces the Pt site activity. These findings suggest that surface alloys of elements with dissimilar lattice constants can generate competitive strain effects that modulate the activity of different adsorption sites. Our findings underscore the importance of understanding and controlling atomic arrangements in alloys to ensure good catalytic performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Catalysis","volume":"443 ","pages":"Article 115988"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This redox process is also important for other applications of ceria-based materials, such as their biomedical use. Therefore, in situ determination of the oxidation state of cerium cations located on different ceria planes is important. One of the most commonly used and informative techniques in this regard is IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO. However, there is still strong disagreement in the interpretation of the carbonyl bands on ceria. In this work, we report the results of CO adsorption on reduced ceria nanoshapes (cubes, polyhedra and rods having different proportions of exposed {100}, {110} and {111} facets) and compare them with the results obtained with non-reduced samples. The reduction degree was monitored by the <sup>2</sup>F<sub>5/2</sub> → <sup>2</sup>F<sub>7/2</sub> spin–orbit electronic transition of Ce<sup>3+</sup> at 2133–2095 cm<sup>−1</sup>. In addition to the experiments, DFT simulations were performed. The ν(CO) frequency of adsorbed CO was found to undergo various shifts after reduction of cerium cations on different planes. Thus, for an intermediate coverage, ν(CO) on stoichiometric ceria {100}, {110} and {111} facets is ca. 2162, 2171 and 2152 cm<sup>−1</sup>, respectively, while for reduced surfaces, at 2151, 2146 and 2160 cm<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. The reasons for the different shift values and directions are discussed. Adsorption of CO on reduced samples also causes a red shift of some components of the Ce<sup>3+</sup> 4f electronic band which could be misinterpreted to formation of carbonyl species. In conclusion, CO as an IR probe molecule can provide information about the existence of Ce<sup>4+</sup> and Ce<sup>3+</sup> sites on the surface.
