Defluorination and adsorption of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) on TiO2(110) and Cr2O3(0001)

Abstract Here, we show that metal oxide surfaces catalyze the formation of intermediate defluorinated tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) radicals, resulting in enhanced binding on the corresponding metal oxide surfaces. We attribute the preferential adsorption and radical formation of TFE on Cr2O3(0001) rela...

Sumario:Abstract Here, we show that metal oxide surfaces catalyze the formation of intermediate defluorinated tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) radicals, resulting in enhanced binding on the corresponding metal oxide surfaces. We attribute the preferential adsorption and radical formation of TFE on Cr2O3(0001) relative to TiO2(110) to the low oxygen coordination of Cr surface atoms. This hints at a possible dependence of the TFE binding strength to the surface stoichiometry of metal-oxide surfaces.
