Reply to “Comment on ‘Using Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Quantum Mechanics to Determine d-Band Energies of Metals for Catalytic Applications’”
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C(2013)
摘要
We wholeheartedly agree with the majority of statements
made in the comment-that an understanding of the
electronic structure of catalyst surfaces to understand their
catalytic activity is one of the most important subjects within
the field of catalysis research, that a simplified approach to
correlating electronic structure and activity would be desirable,
that our study testing, among other things, such a correlation is
therefore of “significant importance”, that, however, such a
simplified correlation is not at all straightforward, and hence an
oversimplified “d-band center model” is not really adequate to
describe the complicated processes involved in catalytic activity.
The comment also gives a nice example of final state effects in
photoemission spectra (a satellite structure 6 eV below the
Fermi energy of Fe, Co, and Ni), which obscure an
experimental determination of the ground state d-band center
(as described in our paper). Finally, the comment gives a good
summary of the bibliography of the comment’s authors in this
research field.
