%0 Journal Article %T Infrared spectroscopy of bare single crystal and nano-particle covered surfaces %A --- RADOSLAV R. ADZIC %J Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society %D 2006 %I Serbian Chemical Society %X Infrared spectroelectrochemistry is the leading technique for in situ investigation of electrode ¨C solution interfaces because it can both identify the species adsorbed at the metal/solution interface, and quantitatively follow their reaction and kinetic behavior. The unique capabilities of the method have been demonstrated by selective examples, including the identification of preferentially adsorbed species on single crystal surfaces of noble metals with hexagonal symmetry, and electrochemical oxidation of CO on bare and Pt-decorated single crystal Ru surfaces. %K infrared %K spectroelectrochemistry %K single crystal surfaces %K noble metals %K CO oxidation %K bisulfate adsorption %U http://www.shd.org.yu/HtDocs/SHD/Vol71/No8-9/JSCS_V71_No8-9-11.pdf
