Correlations between the structure and reactivity at solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces
Recent developments indicate that new understanding of electrode processes and chemical phenomena which take place at the solid-liquid interface will come from correlations with studies of equivalent processes at the solid-gas interface. Present views of the atomic and electronic structure of surfaces and adsorbates are reviewed, along with the surface composition of binary alloy systems as it emerges from modern studies of the solid-vacuum and solid-gas interfaces. Then some of the surface reaction studies which have been carried out recently to correlate the reactivity of the surface with its structure and composition are reviewed. Finally, certain research projects which would be of importance to begin to correlate surface phenomena at solid-liquid and solid-gas interfaces are proposed. 10 figures, 4 tables (RWR)
