The reactive chemisorptions of CO2 and H2O vapour coadsorbed on a Mg surface leads to the formation of CH bond. Increasing the temperature to 400 K shows the peaks in the C(1s) region of the spectrum disappears suggesting the CH containing species are not stable at 400K. %U https://ijcce.ac.ir/article_10389_67e700ab14273dded519af390942c9bf.pdf
