Fig. 3: Mechanisms for C2H4 adsorption study.

Real-time C2H4 adsorption IR spectrum after Ar purge on a 10Ag/SnO2, and b Ag. c The time profile of the normalized intensity of C2H4 adsorption on 10Ag/SnO2, Ag, and SnO2. The normalization of the IR intensity was achieved by dividing the peak area of the band at 3100 cm−1 by the initial peak area of the band at 3100 cm−1. d C2H4-TPD of 10Ag/SnO2, Ag, and SnO2. The a.u. stands for arbitrary units. The powder was pre-oxidized before C2H4 adsorption IR and C2H4-TPD test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
