Abstract

CO electrooxidation on Au(111), Au(100) and Au(110) electrodes in 0.1 M HClO4 and 0.1 M NaOH solutions has been studied by means of voltammetric measurements with hanging meniscus rotating bead-type electrodes. It is found that the reaction order in CO concentration is close to unity at potentials close to the onset of CO oxidation, and then it becomes higher than unity at higher potentials for all studied surfaces except for Au(111) in 0.1 M HClO4. This behavior indicates that CO oxidation on gold takes place through a self-promotion mechanism, in which the presence of CO on the gold surface enhances the adsorption of its own oxidant. Specifically, this mechanism offers a plausible explanation for the higher catalytic activity in alkaline solutions, since CO adsorption is stronger under these conditions, and thus it can lead to a higher enhancement of the adsorption of the oxidant species.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
