Vibrational Spectroscopy at Metal-Solution Interfaces: Some Perspectives and Prospects for Electrochemical Surface Science

Abstract

Some recent applications of surface vibrational spectroscopies to electrochemical and related interfacial systems are illustrated by means of studies undertaken in the authors' laboratory. The utility of infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) for linking the structural behavior of absorbates on ordered metal surfaces in electrochemical and vacuum environments is discussed with reference to a vacuum-based study of CO/D2O coadsorption on Pt(111). The use of atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy in tandem with in-situ IRAS for electrochemical adlayer structural elucidation is noted. Some virtues of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERs) for examining metal- adsorbate vibrations on transition metals in both electrochemical and high- pressure gas-phase systems are also briefly illustrated, specifically for rhodium surface oxidation.
