Times Cited Count:21 Percentile:52.63(Chemistry, Physical)The structure of the perfluorosulfonated ionomer (PFSI)/Pt(111) interface in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA)-like configuration of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell, that is, a vacuum evaporated Pt layer/PEM(Nafion membrane)/PFSI(adhesion Nafion layer)/Pt(111) single crystal, and its bias-induced change were investigated by surface X-ray scattering measurement at an atomic level. Crystal truncation rod measurement shows that PFSI adsorbed on the Pt(111)-(11) surface without bias. When the Pt(111) electrode was positively biased to form Pt oxide, the PFSI layer was detached from the Pt surface and oxygen atoms penetrated into the Pt lattice.

Times Cited Count:124 Percentile:93.64(Chemistry, Physical)In situ electrochemical X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements were performed at the Pt L and Ce L
edges of the Pt-CeO
/C catalyst, which was prepared by a combined process of precipitation and coimpregnation methods, as well as at the Pt L
edge of the conventional Pt/C catalyst in oxygen-saturated H
SO
solution to clarify the role of CeO
in the reduction of the overpotential for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the Pt-CeO
nanocomposite compared with the conventional Pt/C catalyst. XAFS measurements clearly show that the enhancement of ORR activity is attributed to the inhibition of Pt oxide formation by the CeO
layer, of which Ce
was oxidized to Ce
instead of Pt at the Pt oxide formation potential.

Times Cited Count:13 Percentile:39.16(Chemistry, Physical)Ag/AgCl reaction at the Ag bilayer, which was underpotentially prepared on a Au(111) surface, was investigated using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), surface X-ray scattering (SXS), and electrochemical techniques. When the potential was scanned positively from -200 mV, the Cl ion was adsorbed on the Au(111) electrode surface around 0 mV, and then the phase transition of the adsorbed Cl
ion layer from random orientation to (
) structure took place at around +130 mV. The Ag bilayer and Cl
ions were oxidatively reacted to form the AgCl monolayer with (

13.9
structure around +200 mV, accompanied with the formation of AgCl monocrystalline clusters on the AgCl monolayer surface. The structure of the AgCl monolayer on the Au(111) surface was changed from (
)R13.9
structure to (4
4) structure around +500 mV.

While no structural change was observed after oxidative formation of C
SH SAM on the Ag/Au(111) in an ethanol solution containing 20 mM KOH and 0.1 mM C
SH, some of the Ag atoms in the bilayer were stripped when the SAM was reductively desorbed.

Times Cited Count:86 Percentile:89.21(Chemistry, Physical)Potential-dependent surface structures of Au(111) and Au(100) single-crystal electrodes in a 50 mM HSO
solution were investigated at an atomic level using in situ surface X-ray scattering (SXS) techniques. It was confirmed that both the Au(111) and Au(100) surfaces were reconstructed with an attached submonolayer of an oxygen species, most probably water, at 0 V (vs Ag/AgCl). Results at +0.95 V supported a previously suggested model for both the Au(111) and the Au(100) electrodes that, based on infrared and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements, the surfaces were a (1
1) structure with the coadsorbed sulfate anion and hydronium cation (H
O
). At +1.05 V, where a small amount of an anodic current flowed, adsorption of a monolayer of oxygen species was observed on both surfaces.

Electrochemical characteristics of a specific face of a single crystal electrode can be investigated in the meniscus mode, adn SXS measurement can be easily carried out using the spectroelectrochemical cell. The usefulness of the present cell was demonstrated by studying the electrochemical deposition of Pd thin layers on Au(111) and Au(001) that require precise amounts of Pd deposits.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:21.44(Electrochemistry)The structure of a Te layer formed on a Au(111) substrate by underpotential deposition (UPD) in an electrolytic solution has been studied using in-situ surface X-ray diffraction technique. The measurements were carried out for a series of samples which were kept at UPD potential for 4 to 59 hours. The results revealed that the Te UPD layer is unstable. The top layer is analyzed to consist of the UPD Te atoms and Au atoms which diffuse from the Au(111) substrate. Also, the Te UPD layer does not have the structure with periodicity reported in previous works, such as () R30
after ample time elapses. Stripping voltammetry for the Te UPD layer shows that the interaction between Te and Au increases with time, supporting the finding that the top layer is a mixture of Te and Au.
