Catalytic etching of polycrystalline rhodium during high-temperature oxidation of ammonia with air at 1133 K

https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0387-2026-2-43-64

Abstract

X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to reveal the role of Rh2O3 oxides and reaction of NH3 molecules with rhodium oxide oxygen in the formation of etching layer on Rh during NH3 oxidation with air over polycrystalline rhodium (Rh(poly)) at 1133 K. The oxidation of NH3 on Rh(poly) is accompanied simultaneously by the intense oxidation of rhodium and the reaction of NH3 molecules with Rh oxide oxygen. According to XPS, NH3 oxidation on Rh(poly) leads to the formation of oxide layers with the composition Rh2O3. XRD data give close values for FCC lattice parameter a of metallic rhodium (3.802−3.803 Å) and coherent scattering region (CSR) D (39−55 nm) for all the samples. These data indicate oxide layers on metallic Rh, which contains subgrains with the size of 39−55 nm. In the initial step of NH3 oxidation (t ≤ 1 h), porous oxide agglomerates ca. 0.7 µm in size are formed and crystal Rh2O3 fibers 50−100 nm in diameter grow. A long-term oxidation of NH3 (t ≥ 10 h) results in the formation of plate-like 0.5−1.0 µm oxide agglomerates, on which crystal  Rh2O3 pyramids 1−2 µm in height grow. The formation of these etching structures during NH3 oxidation can occur via the gas phase according to the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism.
