STM patterns demonstrated that the prepared thin films are composed of layered crystallites in elliptic form. Electrochemical in situ FTIRS studies explored the abnormal infrared effects (AIREs) of nm-PtPd/GC for CO adsorption, which are (i) the remarkable enhancement of IR absorption, (ii) the inversion of COad band direction, and (iii) notable increase in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of COad bands. The results demonstrated also that the enhancement factor of IR absorption varies with the thickness of PtPd alloy film and has reached a maximum value of 38.3 under the experimental conditions.展开更多

Abnormal infrared effects (AIREs) that consist of the enhancement of IR absorption by adsorbed CO on different surface sites and the inversion of IR band direction have been observed on the thin-layer prepared. The results also demonstrate the considerable significance of Pt-Ru and Pt-Pd surface alloys in electrocatalysis applications.展开更多

The properties of nm-Ni/GC were studied by electrochemical in situ FTIR reflection spectroscopy using CO adsorption as probe reaction. It has revealed that the nm-Ni/GC exhibits almormal infrared effects (AIREs). The study has extended the inves-tigation of the AIREs that we have discovered initially on nanostructured film materials of platinum group metals and alloys to nanostructured film materials of iron group metals.展开更多
