Determination of O and OH adsorption sites and coverage in situ on Pt electrodes from Pt L(sub 23) X-ray absorption spectroscopy
Article Abstract:
The adsorption of atomic oxygen and hydroxide on a platinum electrode in 0.1 M HClO(sub 4) or H(sub 2)SO(sub 4) electrolytes was studied in situ with Pt L(sub 23) X-ray absorption spectroscopy. At low coverages, OH adsorbs primarily in 1-fold coordinated atop sites, but as the coverage increases, O binds in the bridge/fcc sites, and at a still higher coverage, O adsorbs into a higher coordinated n-fold or substrate site.

Determination of H adsorption sites on Pt/C electrodes in HCIO4 from Pt L23 X-ray absorption spectroscopy
Article Abstract:
A different procedure utilizing L3 spectra at different applied voltages was used to isolate H adsorption on the Pt electrode in the XAS spectra. The interpretation of electrochemically modulated IR spectra suggests that the delocalized H exists at low coverage and has a profound affect on water double layer.
