In situ step-scan time-resolved microscope FTIR spectroscopy applied in irreversible electrochemical reactions

Computational screening for selective catalysts: Cleaving the C C bond during ethanol electro-oxidation reaction

“…14 In line with other experimental studies, [15][16][17]10,11,7,18,19 we found that a 5 potential improvement in the selectivity lies in the competition between two routes represented schematically in Figure 1.…”

Degradation of perfluorinated sulfonic acid films: An in-situ infrared spectro-electrochemical study

“…The products and adsorbed intermediates on the electrode, formed during the oxidation of small organic molecules can be easily examined, resulting in a good understanding of the electro-oxidation mechanism of these organic molecules [23][24][25][26]. The nature of the adsorbed poisoning species can also be analyzed by in-situ FTIR spectro-electrochemical method [27][28][29]. In this work, FTIR spectroscopy was used to determine the extent of the PFSA membrane decomposition, and more precisely the nature of the species that are ''breaking'' from the polymer chain, in order to understand the mechanism of the decomposition.…”

In situ FTIR studies of coadsorption of CN− and CO on Pt(110) electrode surface

“…Electrochemical in situ infrared spectroscopy can give information about chemical nature of adsorbates, surface bonding and orientation at molecular level [15]. In current studies, the coadsorption and oxidation of CO and CN À , as well as the individual adsorption of CO or CN À on a Pt(1 1 0) single crystal electrode were investigated by using used cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR spectroscopy.…”
