Importance of acid-base equilibrium in electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid on platinum.
TL;DR: Through systematic examination of the reaction over a wide pH range by cyclic voltammetry and surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy, it is shown that the formate ion is the major reactant over the whole pH range examined, even in strong acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Bridge‐Bonded Adsorbed Formate in the Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Formic Acid on Platinum

TL;DR: It is suggested that adsorbed formate (HCOOads) is a reactive intermediate in the main pathway and its decomposition to CO2 is the rate-determining step (rds).
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of pH on the electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid/formate on platinum: A mechanistic study by surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy coupled with cyclic voltammetry
TL;DR: In this paper, the electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid and formate (HCOOH) to CO2 on platinum has been studied over a wide range of pH (0-12) by SEIRAS coupled with cyclic voltammetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
SEIRAS studies of water structure at the gold electrode surface in the presence of supported lipid bilayer
TL;DR: In this article, surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) was employed to study structure of water in a phospholipid bilayer deposited at a gold electrode surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speciation of Adsorbed Phosphate at Gold Electrodes: A Combined Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy and DFT Study
TL;DR: The present study reveals that pKa for adsorbed phosphate species at the interface is much lower than that for phosphate species in the bulk solution; the dominant phosphate anion, H2PO4(-) at 2 < pH < 7 or HPO4(2-) at 7 < pH< 12, undergoes deprotonation upon adsorption and transforms into the advertisersorbed HPO 4 or PO4, respectively.
