The Dynamic Role of Gold d-Orbitals During CO Oxidation Under Aerobic Conditions

Résumé

High Energy Resolution Fluorescence Detection X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (HERFD-XANES) at the Au L3 edge was used to study gold catalysts supported on ceria in order to unravel the role of gold 5d orbital modifications during the activation of molecular oxygen. The variations in the HERFD-XANES resonance peak, which are directly correlated with d-band occupancy, were monitored in situ during the redox process of the CO oxidation at room temperature both in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Interestingly, upon the oxidation treatment and also during the aerobic CO oxidation treatment, the gold d band fluctuate around an average value proving that the gold clusters are partially charged. A dynamism of the gold electronic configuration was evidenced by a temporary variation of gold d-orbitals population during the oxidation reaction. The interpretation of X-ray spectroscopy data is supported by ab initio simulations performed using the FDMNES code.
