The surface crystal structure of the Co3O4(1 1 0) spinel was characterized by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Well-defined LEED diffraction patterns showed an unreconstructed Co3O4(1 1 0) surface in Type A termination, and XPS and Auger indicated the surface to be stoichiometric with octahedral and tetrahedral cation sites occupied by 3+ and 2+ cations, respectively. The experimental lattice parameters of 8.22 Å ± 0.2 Å and 5.50 Å ± 0.2 Å in the (0 0 1) and (1¯ 1 0) directions, respectively, …


Cobalt Oxide Surface Chemistry: The Interaction Of Coo(1 0 0), Co3O4(1 1 0), And Co3O4(1 1 1) With Oxygen And Water, Sarah C. Petitto, Erin M. Marsh, Gregory A. Carson, Marjorie Langell Feb 2004

Cobalt oxides comprise two readily accessible cation oxidation states: Co2+ and Co3+, which are thermodynamically competitive under common ambient conditions, and redox mechanisms connecting the two states are largely responsible for their success in partial oxidation catalysis. In our studies, CoO(1 0 0), Co3O4(1 1 0), and Co3O4(1 1 1) single crystal substrates have been investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS), and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) for their surface reactivity toward O3 and H2O and for their stability under …
