摘要
The suggestion that two types of oxygen species are necessary for ethylene epoxidation is investigated using a model carbon-supported silver catalyst. It is established that the relative populations of the nucleophilic and electrophilic oxygen species are strongly dependent on silver particle size, the nucleophilic oxygen only being observed for cluster sizes greater than 300 Angstrom. The observation that the two types of oxygen only co-exist on large silver particles is consistent with reported epoxidation rates for silver catalysts. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
