Abstract: Adsorption of molecular oxygen on the Ag(111) surface at room temperature has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), Auger-electron spectroscopy (AES), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and density functional theory (DFT). In the early stage of adsorption, the STM images show formation of a disordered phase in the form of dark spots (local oxide (Ag6O6) rings. Further O2 dosing leads to the formation of a set of bright objects 5–8 Å in size, which were associated with CO2 molecules stabilized on the surface due to the presence of H2O molecules. Heating of the system to temperatures above 423 K led to partial desorption of silver dioxide molecules and formation of ordered striped () and hexagonal (3 × 3) phases. According to the DFT calculations, the (3 × 3) phase can be interpreted as surface high-temperature silver carbonate (Ag2CO3), adsorbed on Ag(111). Small areas with the (3 × 3) phase can be seen in STM images even after heating to 540 K, which indicates higher temperature stability of surface carbonates on Ag(111) than it was believed previously.
