Metal oxides have recently attracted enormous attention because of their important applications in a variety of fields such as catalysis, chemical sensors, solar cells, and electronic devices. We investigated the adsorption of N2O on rutile TiO2(110) and ZnO(10-10) single crystal surfaces by UHV-FTIR spectroscopy. The high-quality IR data demonstrates that exposing both, TiO2 and ZnO to N2O at 120 K leads to molecular adsorption in a linear configuration. However, the binding energy of N2O on ZnO(10-10) is much higher than that on TiO2(110). It was found that N2O is bound to surface Ti4+ ions on TiO2(110) via its O-end, while it prefers to adsorb via its N-end at surface Zn2+ ions on ZnO(10-10). Our results reveal that the N2O adsorption on oxide surfaces is structure-sensitive. The experimental data will be further discussed based on theoretical calculations.
