Analysis of irreversible oxidation wave of adsorbed CO at Pt(1 1 1), Pt(1 0 0) and Pt(1 1 0) electrodes

TLDR
In this paper, the sweep rate dependence of peak current and peak potential, as well as the form of the wave, were examined on the basis of the Gilman mechanism that the electron transfer from a complex consisting of CO and oxygen containing species is the rate-determining step.
Abstract
The oxidation wave of CO preadsorbed at 50 mV on Pt(1 1 1), (1 0 0) and (1 1 0) electrodes in phosphate buffer solution of pH 3 was observed as a function of the sweep rate. The sweep rate dependence of the peak current and peak potential, as well as the form of the wave, were examined on the basis of the Gilman mechanism that the electron transfer from a complex consisting of CO and oxygen containing species is the rate-determining step. An electron transfer step from CO itself was excluded. The peak current and peak potential analyses and the wave simulation gave the same value for Δf, the change in the interaction energy during the formation of the activated complex from the reactants. Δf was sweep-rate and surface-structure dependent. The nature of Δf was discussed.

Electrooxidation of CO and H2/CO Mixtures on Pt(111) in Acid Solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, the role played by two different forms of COad: weakly adsorbed and strongly adorbed states were investigated. But the results presented in this paper are limited to the preoxidation region of the CO adlayer.

Potential dependence of the saturation CO coverage of Pt electrodes: The origin of the pre-peak in CO-stripping voltammograms. Part 3: Pt(poly)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that in CO-free solutions, the maximum coverage is θCO = 0.68 and that higher coverages can only be achieved in the presence of CO in the solution.

Electrocatalysts by design: from the tailored surface to a commercial catalyst

TL;DR: In this paper, a materials-by-design approach to the development of new electrocatalysts is presented, where the knowledge is then used to create tailor-made surfaces, usually using UHV surface processing techniques, having the required microscopic structure to produce the desired catalytic properties.

Surface linear potential sweep voltammetry

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical study of the adsorption peaks appearing in linear potential sweep voltammetry is presented under the following conditions: (a) the electrochemical reaction is reversible; (b) both the oxidized and the reduced forms are strongly adsorbed; and (c) allowance is made in the isotherm for interactions between the adorbed molecules.

Kinetic theory of pseudo-capacitance and electrode reactions at appreciable surface coverage

TL;DR: In this article, the reversible potential of the nickel oxide (N^-Ni 1 1 1/1 ) electrode has been determined by the state of a surface phase, which is completely charged when the bulk oxide material in the electrode had been charged to 10% of its total charge capacity.

Computer simulation of the kinetic behaviour of surface reactions driven by a linear potential sweep

TL;DR: In this paper, the kinetic behavior of a simple 1 e surface reaction is treated theoretically, especially with regard to characteristic aspects of its behaviour when significant attractive or repulsive interactions arise in the electrodeposited film and formulation of characteristic features of its kinetic and equilibrium behaviour which can provide a reference case for distinguishing, by comparison, the behaviour of other more complex sequential reactions treated in Part II.
