Title: Study of cerium oxide-metal intraction with gases - carbon monoxide oxidation and methanol decomposition Author: Tatiana Kolářová Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Václav Nehasil, Dr., Department of Surface and Plasma Science Abstract: Dissertation thesis is focused on the study of two catalytic systems on the basis of cerium oxide-metal. The systems were characterized by various methods of surface analysis. The first part of the work concerns influence of the preparation parameters on the character of gold nanoparticles deposited onto the sputtered cerium oxide layers from a solution. Catalytic activity of prepared Au/CeOx/(C)/Si systems, containing particles with the mean sizes of 4- 10 nm, was tested toward CO oxidation at atmospheric pressure. The results show that with increasing amount of gold present on the samples, also the productivity of CO2 during the reactions grows. The work is further focused on the preparation of an inverse model CeOx/Pt(111) system. On this system, adsorption of methanol at low temeperatures and its decomposition during a heating was studied. It is apparent from presented results that the decomposition of methanol on the inverse CeOx/Pt(111) systems behaves in a different way than on a clean platinum sample or a thick...
