Electrochemical and electrocatalytic processes are of key importance for the transition to a
sustainable energy supply as well as for a wide variety of other technologically relevant …

The irregular and random electrodeposition of zinc has emerged as a non‐negligible barrier
for deeply rechargeable aqueous zinc (Zn)‐ion batteries (AZIBs), yet traditional texture …

Platinum dissolution and restructuring due to surface oxidation are primary degradation
mechanisms that limit the lifetime of platinum-based electrocatalysts for electrochemical …

Co oxides and oxyhydroxides have been studied extensively in the past as promising
electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in neutral to alkaline media. Earlier …

Correlating the catalyst activity, selectivity, and stability with its structure and composition is
of the utmost importance in advancing the knowledge of heterogeneous electrocatalytic …

Oxide formation plays an important role in the degradation of Pt electrocatalysts. However,
the exact oxide structure and reaction mechanism are not fully understood. Here, we used in …

The surface restructuring of Pt (111) electrodes upon electrochemical oxidation/reduction in
0.1 M HClO4 was studied by in situ grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering and …

In-situ surface X-ray diffraction is used to characterize the surface oxides on a Pt (111)
surface in 0.1 M HClO 4. Detailed analysis at two potentials confirms that the surface …

In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Pt L3 edge is a useful probe for Pt–O
interactions at polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cathodes. We show that …

The first step of electrochemical surface oxidation is extraction of a metal atom from its lattice
site to a location in a growing oxide. Here we show by fast simultaneous electrochemical …
