Abstract
Experimental and theoretical data accounting for the specific adsorption of halides, the ionic adsorbed charge at the potential of zero charge (pzc) or the shift in pzc, and the water-metal interactions, the surface potential of water and the modification of the surface potential of the metal at the pzc, in the absence of ionic adsorption, are analysed for the (111), (100) and (110) faces of silver and gold. It is shown that the main energy factor determining the adsorption of halides on these two metals is likely to be that corresponding to the halide-metal interactions, in contrast with sp metals for which the main energy factor is likely to be that corresponding to the water-metal interactions.
