Abstract

A unique approach of synthesizing the electric double layer at a metal-electrolyte interface under ultra-high vacuum conditions is briefly outlined. Results are presented of a study of water adsorption on clean Cu (110) using ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), as well as changes in the work function (Δ ϕ) as determined by the Kelvin method. In addition, changes in the nature of water adsorption due to the presence of coadsorbed oxygen, bromine, and sodium are also discussed.
