In situ, real-time monitoring of electrode surfaces by scanning tunneling microscopy. III. Surface structure of Pt and Pd electrodes
Abstract
Pt and Pd electrodes were monitored by STM in situ in real time. In the case of Cu deposition on Pd, small domains of Cu were first formed and they gradually merged to form terraces. The surface finally became relatively smooth. Surface structure change of Pt electrode during oxide formation/reduction was also investigated. Growth of parallel ridge and domelike structures was observed.
