A study of the growth and CO electrooxidation behaviour of PtRh alloys on Pt{100} single crystals

Controllable synthesis of reduced graphene oxide

“…6(b)), indicating the electrical conductivity of RGO(PhOH) is quite similar to that of Gr. However, it's worth noting that the electric double layer for RGO(PhOH) is broader than that for Gr due to the increased current, which might be contributed to the roughness and residual oxygenous groups on the surface of RGO [46,47]. …”

Electrochemical characterisation of gold on Pt{hkl} for ethanol electrocatalysis

“…Hence, much fundamental work has been undertaken to explore the role of defects, adatoms and various electrode materials in facilitating complete activation of ethanol [11,[13][14][15][16][17]. Recently, we have been exploring the feasibility of using Pt{h kl} electrodes as templates for the formation of well defined monometallic and bimetallic adlayers [18][19][20][21]. It is found that so long as the lattice parameter difference between the adsorbate and Pt is not too dissimilar, good pseudomorphic analogues of the bulk adsorbate Miller index plane may be reproduced using a combination of 'forced deposition' and thermal annealing under well defined conditions [18][19][20][21].…”

In addition, interesting results have been reported previously when adatoms are preferentially deposited at stepped surfaces.…”

Preparation and Electrochemical Behavior of PtRu(111) Alloy Single‐Crystal Surfaces

“…[1][2][3] Besides, alloy films have been prepared on a suitable template. [4][5][6][7] PtRu alloys have long been recognized as one of the best bimetallic catalysts for the electro-oxidation of small organic molecules. [8][9][10][11] The material is among the least sensitive for poisoning and can oxidize intermediates like CO at highly reduced overpotentials.…”
