Abstract:SURFACE DEFECTS AND pH EFFECTS ON ADSORPTION AND CATALYSIS OF CO ELECTRO-OXIDATION ON MODEL PLATINUM SURFACES. Platinum is one of the well-known catalytic materials for which the electro-oxidation of carbon monoxide better behaves as a sensitive reaction to the catalyst surface structure. For the electro-catalytic reactions that behave like this, the rate (faradaic current density) is the result of the sum of the activity of the different active sites working with very different efficiencies or abilities.
