TLDR
In this article, the authors compare the qualitative results given by EMIRS to the quantitative determination of the adsorbed layer, as obtained by conventional electrochemistry, and show that the so-called CO species, which are detected by EqS during the chemisorption of formic acid on a Pt electrode, are the dominant species over a large potential range during which the coverage reaches a maximum and constant value.

Using a one-electron shuttle for the multielectron reduction of CO2 to methanol: kinetic, mechanistic, and structural insights.

TL;DR: Evidence for the mechanism of the reduction proceeding through various coordinative interactions between the pyridinium radical and carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and related species is shown, which suggests an inner-sphere-type electron transfer from the pyrsid inium radical to the substrate for various mechanistic steps where the p Pyridinia radical covalently binds to intermediates and radical species.

Formic Acid Oxidation on Ultrathin Pd Films on Au(hkl) and Pt(hkl) Electrodes

TL;DR: In this article, the oxidation of formic acid on thin, epitaxially grown Pd overlayers on Au and Pt single crystal electrodes was studied as a function of overlayer thickness ranging from submonolayer coverages up to the equivalent of 10 monolayers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrocatalysis by ad-atoms

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface composition of Au-Pt and Au-pd alloy electrodes has been investigated for methanol oxidation and the results indicate that surface composition plays predominant roles in the methenol oxidation.

The oxidation of formic acid at noble metal electrodes Part III. Intermediates and mechanism on platinum electrodes

TL;DR: In this paper, the charge required to oxidize the strongly bound intermediate on Pt electrodes in 1 M H2SO4 is determined from sweep measurements extrapolated to infinite speed, and from the oxidation of the intermediate in the absence of bulk reaction using a dipping technique.
