Abstract Basing on quantum-mechanical calculations within cluster models, rate coefficients of elementary steps of the complete system of heterogeneous catalytic recombination of dissociated oxygen on the copper oxide surface were determined. They were used for calculation of dependence of the effective coefficient of oxygen atom heterogeneous catalytic recombination on the temperature and partial pressure in a wide range of conditions at the surface. It has been established that its value substantially varies depending on the conditions at the surface.
Highlights Recombination rate coefficients are received on the Cu2O in the dissociated oxygen. It is found two types of active centers on the copper oxide surface. It is revealed that the impact recombination prevails at Т<1000K. The impact of associative recombination increases substantially at T>850K. The obtained results are consistent with the available experimental data.
