Interfacial solvation pre-organizes the transition state of the oxygen evolution reaction Open
The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction are an energetic bottleneck for green hydrogen production via water electrolysis. The reaction proceeds over a surface that undergoes (frustrated) phase transitions to accommodate bias…

In-situ probing of the Fischer-Tropsch reaction on Co single crystal surfaces up to 1 bar Open
The surface chemistry of the Fischer-Tropsch catalytic reaction over Co has still several unknows. Here, we report an in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of Co $$\left(0001\right)$$ and Co( $$10\bar{1}4$$ ), and in-si…

Dynamics of lifting the Au(111) reconstruction in perchloric acid electrolyte Open
The striped p × √3 reconstruction of Au(111) is a textbook example of how electrode surfaces reorganise in response to an applied potential.

Alloying and oxidation of PdAu thin films Open
The relation between catalytic activity and the presence of oxides on the catalyst's surface has proven very complex, especially in the case of methane oxidation over Pd. While the metallic Pd surface and a thin, but at least two atomic la…

Understanding the Voltammetry of Bulk CO Electrooxidation in Neutral Media through Combined SECM Measurements Open
Recently, the bulk electrooxidation of CO on gold or platinum has been usedto detect CO produced during CO2reduction in neutral media. The CO bulk oxidationvoltammetry may show two distinct peaks depending on the reaction conditions, which…

Mediator-Free SECM for Probing the Diffusion Layer pH with Functionalized Gold Ultramicroelectrodes Open
Probing pH gradients during electrochemical reactions is important to better understand reaction mechanisms and to separate the influence of pH and pH gradients from intrinsic electrolyte effects. Here, we develop a pH sensor to measure pH…

Coverage-dependent adsorption and desorption of oxygen on Pd(100) Open
We have studied the adsorption and desorption of O2 on Pd(100) by supersonic molecular beam techniques and thermal desorption spectroscopy. Adsorption measurements on the bare surface confirm that O2 initially dissociates for all kinetic e…

The reactivity of platinum microelectrodes Open
Platinum ultramicroelectrodes exhibit lower reactivity towards surface sensitive reactions than macroelectrodes, typically due to (trace) contamination, making electrochemical characterization very important for a proper comparison.
