Single-potential alteration IR spectroscopy

Itmumerable mechanistic studies of alcohol oxidation on Pt-based electrocatalysts in acidic media have been published over the last few years. Methanol, " ethanol ° and ethylene glycol have been the most studied substrates and their oxidation paths on Pt or Pt alloys have been substantiated using a variety of in situ, extra situ and operando techniques as well as quantum mechanical calculations. The experimental techniques include reflection IR spectroscopy (IR), surface enhanced IR asbsorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS), " attemrated total reflection-IR absorption spectroscopy (ATR-IRAS), differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy (DEMS), single potential alteration IR spectroscopy...
