Design of an Active Site towards Optimal Electrocatalysis: Overlayers, Surface Alloys and Near‐Surface Alloys of Cu/Pt(111)

Abstract

I could never be without Cu: An active site has been designed for the catalysis of CO electroxidation. This was achieved by incorporating submonolayer amounts of Cu (orange spheres) into a single crystal of Pt (gray spheres). The electrochemical reactivity of this surface was highly sensitive to the exact position of Cu (see scheme).
