Abstract

The progressive oxidation of small Rh metal particles supported on model SiO₂ and TiO₂ supports has been quantified using high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) and volumetric oxygen uptake. Volumetric O₂ uptakes show that Rh particles, with diameters of 5-10 nm, oxidize faster when supported on TiO₂ than on SiO₂. HREM reveals the existence of a rhodium oxide phase with a lattice spacing of 0.29 nm that grows parallel to the Rh (111) planes on the silica-supported catalysts. The stoichiometry of the oxide formed at lower temperatures suggest that this intermediate phase may correspond to RhO. Oxidation at higher temperatures transforms the Rh oxide particles to polycrystalline Rh₂O₃.
