In an attempt to bridge the pressure gap in ammonia oxidation on platinum, in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to follow the adsorbate coverage on Pt(533) in the 10⁻⁴ mbar range and at about 1 mbar. The N 1s regimes show that at 100 - 300 ^∘ C NH_x species are presented; at high temperature atomic nitrogen is dominant, adsorbed NO decompose already below T = 80 ^∘ C. The results are compared with the simulations of a realistic mathematical model. For bridging the material gap kinetic studies of N₂ and NO formation on Pt(533) are compared with measurements on a polycrystalline Pt foil. The overall kinetics are very similar, but pronounced differences exist with respect to the hysteretic behavior.
