Electrocatalytic properties of Pt(111), Pt(332), Pt(331) and Pt(110) single crystal electrodes towards ethylene glycol oxidation in sulphuric acid solutions

In the present paper four platinum single crystal electrodes, two basal planes of Pt(111) and Pt(110) and two stepped surfaces of Pt(332) and Pt(331), were prepared and used in the study of electro-oxidation of ethylene glycol (EG). All of these Pt single crystal electrodes belong to the [1 0] zone of crystallography, and exhibit on their surface (111) symmetry sites or certain combinations of terraces of (111) symmetry with steps of (111) symmetry type. It has been found that as a result of a favourable steric matching of surface sites the Pt(110) electrode manifested a higher activity both for EG dissociative adsorption and oxidation than that of the Pt(111) electrode. The stepped surfaces of Pt(332) and Pt(331) operated with certain combinations of characteristics of Pt(111) and Pt(110). The best electrocatalytic properties have been obtained with a Pt(331) electrode, and this is attributed both to the configuration of the atomic arrangement and to the stability of this surface.In summary, the above results show that the performance of a given Pt single crystal electrode in EG oxidation at a potential below 1.0 V may be evaluated by three factors.

1. (1) The ability to resist self-poisoning (AB) which describes the difficulty of EG dissociative adsorption on the electrode surface.

2. (2) The activity for EG oxidation (AC). In considering that the threshold potential for EG oxidation on all electrodes is at 0.3 V and that the self-poisoning is encountered in PGPS, the activity for EG oxidation may be reasonably characterized by the intensity of the peak current acquired in NGPS near 0.6 V, which corresponds to the maximum current of EG oxidation on an activated (non-poisoned) surface of the electrode.

3. (3) The stability of activity during potential cycling (SA) between 0.05 and 1.0 V, which describes the resistance to the decrease of intensity of the EG oxidation current during voltammetric cycling.

For the two basal planes studied, the AB and SA of Pt(111) are higher than those of Pt(110), but its AC is much lower than that of Pt(110). These differences are clearly related to the surface atomic arrangement of the two electrodes. As has been discussed above, the surface of Pt(111) is atomically smooth and stable during voltammetric cycling. The surface of Pt(110) presents, however, atomic steps and is reconstructed under experimental conditions, i.e. certain steric configurations are encountered on the Pt(110) surface. The high AC and the low AB may be assigned to a favourite stereographic matching during EG adsorption and oxidation on Pt(110).The two electrodes with stepped surfaces, Pt(332) and Pt(331), contain different densities of (110) sites, which are formed on the border between terrace and step, as shown in Fig. 8. The AB of these two electrodes has been observed at a moderate range between that of Pt(111) and the AB of Pt(110). With a majority of (111) sites on its surface, the electrode of Pt(332) operates at a relatively higher AC than Pt(111) does, and its SA is not as good as that of Pt(111) but is much better than the SA of a Pt(110) electrode. In all cases the highest AC and SA are obtained with a Pt(331) electrode. It may be seen from the profile of a (331) plane (shown by the cross-section of A-A in Fig. 8) that all atoms on the top of the surface participated in forming (110) sites, and the atom on the step has two functions — one is to form a (110) site with an atom located in the terrace of second layer and the other is to form a (111) site in the terrace of the same layer. It has been mentioned in the above discussions that the Pt(110) electrode keeps a higher AC due to favourite stereographic matching in EG adsorption and oxidation, but its SA is the worst, due to the instability of the surface. The highest AC and SA obtained with Pt(331) may be ascribed not only to the high density of (110) sites existing on the surface, but also to the stabilization of these (110) sites, and moreover, the synergy generated by the atomic arrangement of the Pt(331) surface may also contribute to the performance of the Pt(331) electrode.     

In situ FTIRS studies of kinetics of HCOOH oxidation on Pt(110) electrode modified with antimony adatoms

The electrochemical behavior of irreversibly adsorbed antimony on a Pt(110) electrode (Pt(110)/Sb) with various coverages was studied using cyclic voltammetry. The kinetics of HCOOH oxidation via reactive intermediates on Pt(110)/Sb were investigated quantitatively by employing the potential step technique and in situ FTIR spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that Sb adatoms were stable on Pt(110) when the electrode potential was below 0.45 V (SCE). It has been revealed that the dissociative adsorption of formic acid can be inhibited by the presence of Sb_ad on the Pt(110) surface. The electrocatalytic effects of Sb_ad towards HCOOH oxidation consist in a negative shift of the oxidation potential (about 350 mV) and the enhancement of the oxidation current. Based on the data processing method of integration transform developed in our previous papers, the kinetics of HCOOH oxidation on Pt(110)/Sb electrodes of different θ_Sb have been investigated quantitatively, and both the rate constant k_f and the transfer coefficient β were determined and reported.     

Adlayers of Sb irreversibly adsorbed on Pt(111): an electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy study

This work presents an electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy study of Sb irreversibly adsorbed on Pt(111) at various potentials. At an open circuit potential (0.46 V vs a Ag/AgCl electrode), well-ordered structures of SbO+ were found: four (4 x 3)-3SbO+ structures and one (2 square root(3) x 2 square root(3))R30 degrees-3SbO+ structure. In addition, several unidentifiable transient structures of SbO+ were observed, and their relations to the well-ordered structures of (4 x 3) and (2 square root(3) x 2 square root(3))R30 degrees, regarding structural evolution, were proposed. At a reducing potential (0 V), the Pt(111) surface was covered with irreversibly adsorbed Sb which consisted of three different domains: protruded domain, domain of uniaxially incommensurate (square root(3) x square root(2))-Sb, and domain of bare (1 x 1) Pt(111). During oxidation of elemental Sb at 0.30 V, the Sb domains of the (square root(3) x square root(2)) structure were oxidized, while the protruded domains were not oxidized. After underpotential deposition of additional Sb onto the Pt(111) covered with irreversibly adsorbed Sb, the whole surface was filled with the Sb domains where each Sb atoms were separated by the square root(2a) distance (a = one Pt-Pt distance, 0.277 nm). The observed electrochemical inactivity below 0.3 V was discussed in terms of the protruded domain of a presumable incommensurate (square root(2) x square root(2)) structure.     

Electrochemical behaviour of Pt(100), Pt(111) and Pt polycrystalline surfaces in hydrogencarbonate solution

It was demonstrated that adsorbed CO is obtained from the reduction of NaHCO₃ solution when Pt(100), Pt(110), disordered Pt(111) and polycrystalline electrodes are employed. Reduction of CO₂ coming from the dissociation of the hydrogencarbonate anion is proposed as the reaction that produces CO. By using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, linear and multi-bonded CO were detected on polycrystalline platinum electrodes. The shape of the band associated with linearly adsorbed CO is monopolar as a consequence of the partial overlapping, at lower wavenumbers, of the absolute bands at both potentials (0.05 and 0.35 V).

Electrocatalytic Oxidation of HCOOH on Pt(331)/Sb Electrode

Single crystal planes provide surface models of well defined atomic arrangement. Using the method of UPD and irreversibly adsorption (IRA) to modify electrode with adatoms can change the composition,the symmetry of atomic arrangement and the electronic structure of electrode surface^[1]. We have studied in this paper the electrochemical behavior of irreversibly adsorbed antimony on Pt(331) (Pt(331)/Sb) and HCOOH oxidation on R(331)/Sb. The result demonstrated that the IRD Sb adatoms on Pt (331) was stable at potentials below 0.30 V (SCE). We illustrated that various coverage of Sb_ad can be easily obtained by controlling the number of potential cycling and the upper limit of potential scan (Eu). The coadsorption of Sb with H on Pt(331) surface was characterized by relation between the coverage of Sb (θ_Sb) and that of H_ad (θ_H). Two domains were determined:(1) when θ_Sb is small than 0.10, dramatic decrease of θ_H with θ_Sb is manifested, meaning that hydrogen adsorption can be inhibited significantly by a small quantity of Sb_ad; (2) when θ_Sb is large than 0.10, θ_H maintains almost a constant value near 0.025.     

Studies of surface processes of electrocatalytic reduction of CO_2 on Pt(210), Pt(310) and Pt(510)

Surface processes of CO2 reduction on Pt(210), Pt(310), and Pt(510) electrodes were studied by cyclic voltammetry. Different surface structures of these platinum single crystal electrodes were obtained by various treatment conditions. The experimental results illustrated that the electrocatalytic activity of Pt single crystal electrodes towards CO2 reduction is decreased in an order of Pt(210)>Pt(310)>Pt(510), i.e., with the decrease of (110) step density on well-defined surfaces. When the surfaces were reconstructed due to oxygen adsorption, the catalytic activity of all the three electrodes has been enhanced to a cer- tain extent. Although the activity order remains unchanged, the electrocatalytic activity has been en- hanced more significantly as the density of (110) step sites is more intensive on the Pt single crystal surface. It has revealed that the more open the surface structure is, the more active the Pt single crystal electrode will be, and the easier for the electrode to be transformed into a surface structure that exhib- its higher activity under external inductions. However, the relatively ordered surfaces of Pt single crystal electrode are comparatively stable under the same external inductions. The present study has gained knowledge on the interaction between CO2 and Pt single crystal electrode surfaces at a micro- scopic level, and thrown new insight into understanding the surface processes of electrocatalytic re- duction of CO2.     

CO and methanol adsorption on (2 × 1)Pt(110) and ion‐eroded Pt(111) model catalysts

Methanol adsorption on ion‐sputtered Pt(111) surface exhibiting high concentration of vacancy islands and on (2 × 1)Pt(110) single crystal were investigated by means of photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and thermal desorption spectroscopy. The measurements showed that methanol adsorbed at low temperature on sputtered Pt(111) and on (2 × 1)Pt(110) surfaces decomposed upon heating. The PES data of methanol adsorption were compared to the data of CO adsorbed on the same Pt single crystal surfaces. In the case of the sputtered Pt(111) surface, the dehydrogenation of H_xCO intermediates is followed by the CO bond breakage. On the (2 × 1)Pt(110) surface, carbon monoxide, as product of methanol decomposition, desorbed molecularly without appearance of any traces of atomic carbon. By comparing both platinum surfaces we conclude that methanol decomposition occurs at higher temperature on sputtered Pt(111) than on (2 × 1)Pt(110). Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
