Methane is a well-established fuel molecule whose production from CO 2 through methanation garners increasing interest as an energy storage solution. While often produced with Ni based catalysts, other metals are of interest thanks to higher robustness and activity-selectivity numbers. The Rh/CeO 2 catalyst has shown appreciable properties for CO 2 methanation and its structural dynamics has been studied in situ. However, the reaction pathway is unknown. Here, we present infrared modulation excitation spectroscopy measurements with phase sensitive detection of a Rh/CeO 2 catalyst adsorbate composition during H 2 pulsing (0–2 vol.%) to a constant CO 2 (0.5 vol.%) feed. Various carbonyl (CO) and carbonate (b-CO 3 /p-CO 3 ) ad-species clearly respond to the hydrogen stimulus, making them potential reaction intermediates. The different CO ad-species are likely intermediates for product CO and CH 4 but their individual contributions to the respective formations are not unambiguously ascertained. As for the carbonate dynamics, it might be linked to the reduction/oxidation of the CeO 2 surface upon H 2 pulsing. Formate (HCOO) ad-species are clearly visible but appear to be, if not spectators, linked to slow side reactions possibly also affected by CeO 2 redox processes.
