Structural effects in electrocatalysis: Oxygen and hydrogen peroxide reduction on single crystal gold electrodes and the effects of lead ad-atoms
Abstract
Structural effects in electrocatalysis have been clearly and definitely demonstrated for example in the oxidation of HCOOH, CH3OH and CH2O on platinum single crystal electrodes. In this note, we report considerable structural effects on the kinetics of the 02 and HO2 reduction on gold single crystal electrodes with (111), (110) and (100) orientations.
