Abstract: | Electrochemical oxygen adsorption/desorption below monolayer level leads to a disordering of platinum single-crystal surfaces vicinal to the (1 1 1) plane. The kinetics can be described by means of a consecutive reaction from (1 1 1)-terrace sites to (1 1 0)-defect sites, in which (1 0 0)-defects act as intermediates. The first oxidation of the electrode reflects independent contributions from terrace and step sites, the latter being structure sensitive. Oxygen adsorption charges amount to a mean value of one electron per step site. |
