Electrochemical behaviour of adsorbed NO molecules on Pt(100) electrode has been studied in perchloric acid solutions by means of cyclic voltammetry. According to literature data, saturated NO adlayer with coverage of ca. 0.5 ML is formed at open circuit conditions in nitrite solution as a result of disproportion reaction. The adlayer is stable in the range of 0.4-0.9 V, NO molecules are oxidized at 0.9-1.1 V and can be reduced to ammonia at potentials less than 0.4 V. Stability of the adlayer depends on surface coverage and extent of the ordering. Unsaturated NO adlayer demonstrates redox transformations NO↔NH 3 at 0.5-0.8 V.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
