説明

The crystal habit of fcc metal particles formed on an amorphous carbon film electrode in solution at different electrode potentials is discussed. The fcc metal particles have different crystallographic habits depending on applied electrode potential; that is, icosahedral and/or decahedral particles are formed at lower potentials, and fcc single-crystalline or polycrystalline particles at higher potentials. It was found that decahedra and icosahedra of Cu-Au alloy particles are formed in the potential region of underpotential deposition (UPD) of Cu at which only fcc Au single-crystalline particles and Au polycrystalline particles appear. This is attributed to the charge transfer from the UPD Cu ions to the Au overlayer of Cu-Au alloy particles. The formation of decahedral and icosahedral Cu-Au alloy particles depends on the composition of the Cu-Au alloy. On the basis of these results it was deduced that the contraction of the surface lattice of the growing particles is responsible for the formation of icosahedral and decahedral particles.
