Abstract :
The adsorption of CO on graphite-supported monometallic catalysts (Ni and Ru) and bimetallic catalysts (Ru–Cu and Ni–Cu) reduced at different temperatures was studied by microcalorimetry. The calorimetric profiles obtained over these two bimetallic systems provides information about the different types of interaction (bridged, linear or subcarbonyl species) that could exist in the bimetallic system when Cu was introduced in the Ru and Ni monometallic catalysts.
