Understanding the pH Dependence of Underpotential Deposited Hydrogen on Platinum
Abstract
Abstract Understanding the pH dependent shift of the oxidation peak of the underpotential deposited hydrogen (H upd ) in cyclic voltammograms on the Pt surface is of significance in terms of both the fundamentals of electrochemistry and the rational design of catalysts for the hydrogen oxidation/evolution reactions (HOR/HER). In this work, we provide compelling evidence that the pH dependent shift in the H upd peak on Pt surfaces is driven by the structure of interfacial water rather than the specific adsorption of cations on the electrode surface. Combined cyclic voltammetric and surface enhanced spectroscopic investigations using an organic cation and crown‐ether chelated alkali metal cations show that specific adsorption of metal and organic cations on the Pt surface at the conditions relevant to the HOR/HER is unlikely. The vibrational band corresponding to strongly bound water is monitored when the electrode potential is varied in the H upd range in both acid and base.
