Abstract
As part of an extensive study of the performance of structurally well-defined AgxPt1–x/Pt(111) monolayer surface alloys in the O2 electroreduction we have systematically investigated the electrochemical properties and the stability of these electrodes in 0.5 M H2SO4 under mass controlled conditions in a flow cell setup, varying the surface Ag content over a wide range. The surface alloys were prepared and structurally characterized on an atomic scale by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) under UHV conditions, and a transfer system allowed electrochemical measurements without intermediate contact to air. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements showed distinct changes in the hydrogen and (bi)sulfate sorption behavior of the surface alloys with increasing Ag surface content. The electrochemical stability of the electrode surfaces was tested by CV in 0.5 M sulfuric acid supporting electrolyte with a stepwise increase of the potential limit up to 0.95 V (vs RHE). CVs as well as STM measurements revealed that sur...
