Two different stages for silver deposition on platinum can be described one at 1.1 V vs. RHE responding to a silver-platinum alloy electrodissolution (overlapped with the oxygen electroadsorption at free platinum sites) and the other at 0.65 V due to the silver oxidation (from the onset of the bulk deposition process) deposited on the former surface alloy [88,89]. The former process splits into two peaks when the potentiostatic ageing is performed. The spectroscopic techniques such as XPS and ARXPS (angle resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) were used to determine the chemical composition of the silver films on the platinum in an acid solution [92], The technique was not able to discern between the presence of silver oxides and sulfates, only an energy shift of the clean silver 3d5/2 band at a upd level of —0.5 eV was detected.

UHV analysis can also be applied. Angle resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS) also allows the determination of the film thickness. The method uses the fact that the ratio between the aluminum oxide peak and the peak of the metalKc aluminum changes with angle of incidence since the length of path in the oxide increases for a grazing incidence [70, 71]. 

Equation (22) is particularly useful when a concentration gradient in depth exists. In this case, several spectra at different values of 9 are taken and the analysis is called angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. However, for a maximum efficiency, a flat surface (at an atomic level) is needed to avoid shade effects as shown by Fadley in his early works in the 1970s [44]. An additional problem exists the extraction of concentration profiles, cg(x), from Eq. (22) is an inverse problem the intensity as a function of the analysis angle is the Laplace transform of the composition depth profile of the sample [43] and does not have a unique solution. Several algorithms to solve the inversion problem were developed and tested [46]. They are all very unstable and sensitive to small statistical...
