Abstract
Bridging the materials and pressure gaps: The adsorption of CO on ZnO surfaces becomes much stronger in the presence of preadsorbed CO2 (see picture; O red, Zn gray, C green). The increased strength of the interaction between CO and polycrystalline ZnO powder originates from the formation of tridentate carbonate species on the mixed-terminated (100) surfaces, which increase the Lewis acidity of neighboring Zn2+ cations.
