Heterogeneous catalysed reactions as O2+H2 and NO+H2 on Rh(110) are known for their ability to form spatiotemporal concentration patterns on the surface. In this work the influence of coadsorbed alkali metals (AM), namely K and Cs on these reactions were studied experimentally. It turned out that under certain reaction conditions a mass transport of AM occurs. Starting with an initial homogenous distribution of the AM this effect can lead to a condensation of stationary K-O concentration patterns during the O2+H2 reaction. Other selforganized patterns were found in the NO+H2 reaction. All experiments were carried out in UHV-chambers driven as continuous flow reactors. To clarify the underlying processes the following experimental methods were applied: LEEM, XPS, SPEM and PEEM. The driving force of the occurring selforganizing processes will be discussed by presenting experimental results showing chemical, electronic and structural aspects of the substrate and the involved reacting species.
