Atomic structure of Cu(111) surfaces in dilute sulfuric acid solution

The whole range of processes occurring at a single crystal Cu(111) electrode in a sulfuric acid electrolyte (5 mM H2SO4) between hydrogen evolution and copper dissoln. has been studied using a combination of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), in situ Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), and in situ Fourier Transform IR Spectroscopy (FTIR) as well as ex situ characterization by means of Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), XPS and LEED (LEED). In particular, in situ STM measurements with at. resoln., carried out under various conditions, namely in the potentiostatic, potentiodynamic and quasi-spectroscopic mode, provide very detailed and direct information about the following interfacial properties and processes: the adsorption and desorption kinetics of the sulfate anions; the structure of the sulfate adlayer and the reconstruction of the copper surface underneath including drastic morphol. changes of the electrode surface; the abs. adsorption geometry of individual SO2-4 anions; the anodic copper corrosion and redeposition as well as the formation of cationic adsorbate (probably hydronium) layers in the regime of hydrogen evolution. Altogether the results demonstrate that already a relatively simple system such as Cu(111) in sulfuric acid soln. may exhibit a surprisingly high degree of complexity. [on SciFinder(R)]     «
