Abstract

In-situ studies of CO adsorption by surface x-ray scattering (SXS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy techniques are used to create the link between the macroscopic kinetic rates of CO oxidation and the microscopic level of understanding the structure/site occupancy of CO on Pt(111). A remarkable difference in activity was observed between alkaline and acid solutions. In alkaline solution the oxidation of CO proceeds at low overpotential (<0.2 V) by the surface reaction between the adsorbed CO and OH, the latter forming selectively in the hydrogen underpotential potential region at defect sites. In acid solution these sites are blocked by specific adsorption of anions, and consequently in a solution containing Br{sup -} the ignition potential is shifted positively by 0.6 V. Anions of supporting electrolytes also have dramatic effects on both the potential range of stability and the domain size of the p(2x2)-3CO structure which is formed at 0.05 V. The stability/domain size of this structure increases from KOH (ca. 30 {angstrom} between 0.05 < E < 0.3V), to HClO{sub 4} (ca. 140 {angstrom} between 0.05 < E < 0.6V) to HClO{sub 4} + Br{sup -} (ca 350 {angstrom} between 0.05 < E < 0.8V).

CO adsorption and kinetics on well-characterized Pd films on Pt(111) in alkaline solutions

Journal Article Arenz, M ; Stamenkovic, V ; Wandelt, K ; ... - Surface Science

The electrochemistry of CO on a bare Pt(111) electrode as well as a Pt(111) electrode modified with pseudomorphic thin palladium films has been studied in alkaline solution by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. First Pd films were prepared and well characterized in UHV and subsequently transferred into the electrochemical cell for the registration of the voltammetric profiles. The charge corresponding to the formation of underpotentially deposited hydrogen (H{sub upd}) on these Pt(111)-xPd surfaces was established in sulfuric acid solution as a function of x (0 {le} x {le} 1 Pd monolayer (ML)). All subsequent measurements were then performedmore »« less

Surface structures and phase transitions at the Au(100)-Br interface: pH and CO effects

Journal Article Blizanac, Berislav B ; Lucas, Chris A ; Gallagher, Mark E ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry B: Materials, Surfaces, Interfaces, amp Biophysical

The surface reconstruction of Au(100) and the formation of an ordered commensurate c(sqrt 2 x 22 sqrt 2)R45o adlayer of Br (Brad) have been studied by a combination of electrochemical (EC) and surface X-ray scattering (SXS) measurements. Emphasis is placed on linking the microscopic structural information concerning the Brad adlayer to the voltammetric and other macroscopic electrochemical responses, including using the rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) measurements for determining the surface coverage by Brad. It is found that the potential-induced hexagonal (''hex'') to (1 x 1) transition of the Au surface coincides with Br- adsorption and occurs faster in solutionsmore »« less

Anion adsorption, CO oxidation, and oxygen reduction reaction on a Au(100) surface: The pH effect

Journal Article Blizanac, Berislav B ; Lucas, Chris A ; Gallagher, Mark E ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry B: Materials, Surfaces, Interfaces, amp Biophysical

The effects of pH on the surface reconstruction of Au(100), on CO oxidation, and on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have been studied by a combination of surface X-ray scattering (SXS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) measurements. In harmony with previous SXS and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) results, the potential-induced hexagonal (''hex'') to (1 x 1) transition occurs faster in an alkaline electrolyte than in acidic media. In alkaline solution, CO adsorption facilitates the formation of a ''hex'' phase; in acid solution, however, CO has negligible effect on the potential range of thermodynamic stability ofmore »« less

Pitting corrosion of titanium. The relationship between pitting potential and competitive anion adsorption at the oxide film/electrolyte interface

Journal Article Basame, S B ; White, H S - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

The potential-dependent breakdown of the native oxide film ({approximately}20 {angstrom} thick) on titanium has been investigated in aqueous Br{sup {minus}} solutions and in solutions that contain a mixture of Br{sup {minus}} and anions that inhibit oxide breakdown (i.e., Cl{sup {minus}}, I{sup {minus}}, SO{sub 4}{sup 2{minus}}, Fe(CN){sub 6}{sup 4{minus}}, and Fe(CN){sub 6}{sup 3{minus}}). The oxide film is unstable in neutral pH solutions containing only Br{sup {minus}}, resulting in the formation of stable corrosion pits at relatively low potentials ({approximately}1.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The pitting potential, E{sub p}, is strongly dependent upon the concentration of Br{sup {minus}}, and can be modeled usingmore »« less

The effect of specific chloride adsorption on the electrochemicalbehavior of ultrathin Pd films deposited on Pt(111) in acidsolution

Journal Article de, arenz@thch uni-bonn - Surface Science

The electrochemical behavior of thin Pd films supported on a Pt(111) electrode is investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and in-situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It is demonstrated that in perchloric acid solution underpotential deposition of hydrogen (H{sub upd}) and hydroxyl adsorption (OH{sub ad}) is in strong competition with the adsorption of Cl- anions, the latter being present as a trace impurity in HClO{sub 4}. The interaction of Cl- with Pd is rather strong, controlling the adsorption of H{sub upd} and OH{sub ad} as well as the kinetic rate of CO oxidation. The microscopic insight (the binding sites) of themore »« less
