Effect Of Adsorption Potential On Co Oxidation At Au@Pt Nanoparticles Electrodes, A Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopic Study, Pu Zhang, Yi Wei, Yong-Li Zheng, Yan-Xia Chen, Zhong-Qun Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

The adsorption/oxidation of CO on the 55 nm Au@0.7 nm Pt nanoparticles electrode in both potentiodynamic and potentiostatic modes were investigated by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy in a thin layer electrochemical flow cell under controlled mass transport, with the aim of clarifying the origin CO oxidation at lower electrode potentials (in current pre-wave region of corresponding cyclic voltammograms). Our results demonstrated that the CO oxidation kinetics differed significantly from the three kinds of different CO adsorption history, with almost no CO oxidation current in the pre-peak potential region after 0.35 VRHE CO adsorption with or without subsequent holding the …
