Infrared spectra of methanol desorption in a He stream and under vacuum on CeO2 and ZrO2 catalyst surfaces

摘要

Infrared spectra of methanol desorption in a He stream and under vacuum on CeO2 and ZrO2 catalyst surfaces are added for the article (RSC Adv., 2014, 4, 30968) as a response to the letter of Dr F. C. Meunier (RSC Adv., 2016, 6, 17288) and to make the ascription of the bands at 1096, 1054, 1032 and 1012 cm(-1) more convincing. After putting under vacuum, the bands at 1096, 1054, 1032 and 1012 cm(-1) still exist, which indicates that these bands are ascribed to chemisorbed methoxy.
