Studying the Pt-Rh system and its behavior in gas atmospheres is useful for the understanding of catalytic reactions. In this master project, preparation and characterization of Pt-Rh surfaces in UHV and oxidizing conditions was performed. This was done in order to get a better understandingof the nucleation, growth and alloying behavior of Pt-Rh surfaces, and to see how the variationsin nanostructured surfaces alter theiroxidation behavior. Preparation of Pt/Rh(111) surfaces was performed in our Reactor STM instrument, and surfaces werecharacterized by means of LEED and STM at UHV. Varying preparation conditions like deposition temperature (300 –700 K), coverage (0.14 –2.3 ML), post-annealing time and temperature, was shown to dictate morphology, growth and degree of alloying. From these results, a synthesis strategy roadmap for preparation of nanostructured Pt/Rh(111) surfaces was made. The Pt/Rh(111) roadmap was compared to a similar roadmap for the inverse system (Rh/Pt(111)). The results indicated that choice of substrate, Pt(111) or Rh(111), leads to significant differences in the nanostructure composition. To expand on the results from the Rh/Pt(111) roadmap, Rh/Pt(111) surfaces with coverages in the range 0.4 –1.2 ML were prepared and characterized by means of XPS in UHV. The XPS results indicated that PA to higher temperatures (700-770 K) led to more subsurface diffusion of Rh and alloying compared to lower PA temperatures (600 K), confirming results obtained in theinitialRh/Pt(111) roadmap. To establish how different nanostructured alloys behave in oxidizing conditions, a selection of surfaces (from bare Rh(111) to 2.3 ML Pt/Rh(111)) were exposed to low oxygen pressures (pO2= 1 ×10-3mbar)at 700 K. The surfaces were characterized by means of LEED and STM at UHV. For bare Rh(111) and low Pt enrichement(0.14 ML), a Rh surface oxide was formed displaying acharacteristicmoiré pattern over the entire surface. Increase inthe Pt content led toa gradual loss of moiré pattern. For the 2.3 ML Pt/Rh(111) surface, no surface oxide formed. In addition, NAP-XPS measurements on Rh/Pt(111) surfaces were performed at 1 mbar O2and 600 K. Thesurfaces had previously been post-annealedto different temperatures (600-770 K). XP spectra revealed thatformation of Rh surface oxide correlated withthe degree of alloying with Pt(111), where more alloying prevented oxidation. These results were in line with what had been observed in STM and LEED for Pt/Rh(111) surfaces in low oxygen pressures. This led to the conclusion that amount of Rh on the surface is what governs the degree of surface oxide formation. Depending on the choice of substrate (Pt(111) or Rh(111)), the Rh content on the surface can be modified by either changing the PA/deposition temperature, or by tuning the Pt coverage.
