Z. Jusys et al., A new approach for simultaneous DEMS and EQCM: Electro-oxidation of adsorbed CO on Pt and Pt-Ru, J ELCHEM SO, 146(3), 1999, pp. 1093-1098
The combination of differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) an
d electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) is possible by means o
f a new dual thin layer cell. Thus, simultaneous real-time measurements of
volatile products and deposited (or dissolved) species can be performed, wh
ich is demonstrated for CO-adsorption and desorption processes on Pt and a
Pt-Ru alloy in sulfuric acid. In particular, it is shown that on a Pt-Ru al
loy, electrode anions are adsorbed even at 0 mV vs. reversible hydrogen ele
ctrode. (C) 1999 The Electrochemical Society. S0013-4651(98)01-054-4. All r
