Abstract

Adsorption of CO on a clean Ti surface is partly associative at 80 K with a 1\pi-4\sigma separation of 4.2 eV, becoming dissociative at 130 K. On Ni- covered Ti surfaces, however, associative adsorption (4\sigma-1\pi, 3.3 eV) occurs at 80 K and partial dissociation, around 200 K. $TiO_2$ is reduced more effectively on annealing, when it is covered with Ni. On the surfaces of Ni deposited on $TiO_2$, there is only dissociative adsorption, unlike on $Ni/Al_20_3$ and $Ni/TiO_2$ (non-annealed) surfaces.
