Rhodium As A Ubiquitous Substrate For Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy, Bin Ren, Xu Feng Lin, Zhong Qun Tian Feb 2001

Rhodium As A Ubiquitous Substrate For Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy, Bin Ren, Xu Feng Lin, Zhong Qun Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

Raman Spectroscopy is a powerful technique in characterizing the molecular structure at the molecular level. However, only after the discovery of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect, has it become one of the most widely used technique in surface sciences. The limitation that only Ag, Au and Cu can produce prominent SERS signal of practical significance, greatly hinders the application of this technique. Recently our group has made great progress in extending SERS to pure transition metal surfaces, such as Pt, Ni, Fe, Co etc [1] . Rh, due to its special application as catalysts in the catalytic or electrochemical …


In Situ Raman Spectroelectrochemical Characterization Of The Prussian Blue/Platinum Modified Electrode, Xiao-Wei Cao, Rong Wang, Gui Hua Wang, Zong Rang Zhang Feb 2001

In Situ Raman Spectroelectrochemical Characterization Of The Prussian Blue/Platinum Modified Electrode, Xiao-Wei Cao, Rong Wang, Gui Hua Wang, Zong Rang Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Prussian Blue is known to be deposited electrochemically on the electrode surface, producing a dense redox active layer. Since the Prussian Blue modified electrode was first reported by Neff in 1978 [1] , different in situ spectroelectrochemical techniques have been widely used to investigate its electrochemical mechanism [2~4] . But no research work related to the in situ Raman spectroscopic studies on it has been reported. In this paper we try to characterize the nature of thin Prussian Blue films on platinum substrates with in situ Raman spectroelectrochemical technique. A Super LABRAM confocal microscopic Raman spectrometer (Dilor) with a He?Ne …


The Charge Transfer Effect Of Sers Induced By The Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution Reaction, Feng-Ming Liu, Qi Han, Yan Xia Chen, Qi Ling Zhong, Bin Ren, Zhong Qun Tian Feb 2001

The Charge Transfer Effect Of Sers Induced By The Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution Reaction, Feng-Ming Liu, Qi Han, Yan Xia Chen, Qi Ling Zhong, Bin Ren, Zhong Qun Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

As one of the important mechanisms of SERS, the charge transfer (CT) enhancement requires the strong interaction of the adsorbed species with the substrate in order to permit the transition of charge between the metal Fermi level (energy state) and the molecular orbital [1] . The high enhancement needs the match of the energy gap between the Fermi level (or surface state) and the orbital energy level of the adsorbed molecules with the energy of the incident light. The electrode Fermi level is usually adjusted by the applied potential to satisfy the CT resonance. For the electrochemical reaction process, the …
