Structural effects on water molecules on the low index planes of Pt modified with alkyl amines and the correlation with the activity of the oxygen reduction reaction

Our previous study shows that the activity of the cathodic reaction (oxygen reduction reaction: ORR) of fuel cells is increased markedly by the adsorption of alkyl amines on a well-defined Pt(111) electrode. On Pt(100) and Pt(110) electrodes, however, the adsorption of alkyl amines deactivates the O...
