摘要
The impact of the alkali metal cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+) on the catalytic activity of Pt(1 1 1) electrodes towards model reactions (oxygen reduction, oxygen evolution, hydrogen evolution and hydrogen oxidation) in sulfuric acid has been evaluated. In contrast to essentially monotonic activity trends (i.e. from Li+ to Cs+) reported in the literature for alkaline media, the nature of the cations influences the activity of the Pt electrodes largely non-monotonously in the presence of SO42- ions. This is in certain cases due to the specifically adsorbing (bi) sulfate anions which make interactions between electrolyte components and reaction intermediates very complex. Surprisingly, the activity of the Pt(1 1 1) electrodes towards all investigated electrocatalytic reactions was substantially higher in Rb+ ions containing electrolytes (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
