Abstract

The interaction of water vapor and oxygen with polycrystalline Ni₃Fe has been studied by Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermal desorption. Water adsorbs molecularly on the surface at or below 150 K. Between 150 and 200 K, some adsorbed water molecules desorb in vacuum, while others dissociate into hydroxyls, atomic oxygen, and hydrogen. XPS studies suggest iron to be the active species in controlling the dissociation of water on polycrystalline Ni₃Fe surface. Water dissociation into atomic hydrogen is greatly suppressed by the presence of small concentrations of oxygen in water vapor.
