The kinetics of ammonia oxidation on Pt(443), Pt(533) and Pt(100), have been investigated under stationary reaction condition in the 10−4 to 10−2 mbar range with low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), ellipsomicroscopy and rate measurement. Rate hysteresis in T-cycling occurs associated with structural modification of the Pt substrate is verified by LEED measurements with Pt(533) and Pt(443). Surprisingly, the occurrence of a hysteresis depends on the total pressure. For Pt(533) and Pt(443) we found a hysteresis at 10−3 mbar, but no hysteresis at P≥ 10−2 mbar, on Pt(443) hysteresis vanishes at P ≤ 10−4 mbar. On Pt(100) we found under all conditions a very broad hysteresis due to the phase transition of substrate from (1×1) to hex. The origin of the P-dependent hysteresis on Pt(443) and Pt(533) is discussed in terms of reversible and irreversible structural changes of the Pt surfaces.
