摘要	ZnO-based catalysts have been intensively studied because of their extraordinary performance in lower olefin synthesis, methanol synthesis and water-gas shift reactions. However, how ZnO catalyzes these reactions are still not well understood. Herein, we investigate the activations of CO2, O-2 and CO on single crystalline ZnO polar surfaces at room temperature, through in-situ near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS). It is revealed that O-2 and CO2 can undergo chemisorption on ZnO polar surfaces at elevated pressures. On the ZnO (0001) surface, molecular CO2 (O-2) can chemically interact with the top layer Zn atoms, leading to the formation of CO2 delta- (O-2(delta-)) or partially dissociative atomic oxygen (O-) and hence the electron depletion layer in ZnO. Therefore, an apparent upward band-bending in ZnO (0001) is observed under the CO2 and O-2 exposure. On the ZnO (000 (1) over bar) surface, the molecular chemisorbed CO2 (O-2) mainly bond to the surface oxygen vacancies, which also results in an upward band-bending in ZnO (0001). In contrast, no band-bending is observed for both ZnO polar surfaces upon CO exposure. The electron-acceptor nature of the surface bounded molecules/atoms is responsible for the reversible binding energy shift of Zn 2p(3/2) and O 1s in ZnO. Our findings can shed light on the fundamental understandings of CO2 and O-2 activation on ZnO surfaces, especially the role of ZnO in heterogeneous catalytic reactions.
