Electrode degradation under oxidizing conditions is a major drawback for large-scale applications of platinum electrocatalysts. Subjecting Pt(111) to oxidation-reduction cycles is known to lead to the growth of nanoislands. We study this phenomenon using a combination of simultaneous in situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the formed islands, deriving the (evolution of the) average island growth shape. From the island shapes, we determine the densities of atomic-scale defect sites, e.g., steps and facets, which show an excellent correlation with the different voltammetric hydrogen adsorption peaks. Based on this combination of electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM) and CV data, we derive a detailed atomistic picture of the nanoisland evolution during potential cycling, delivering new insights into the initial stages of platinum electrode degradation.

在氧化条件下电极降解是铂电催化剂大规模应用的主要缺点。已知使Pt(111)经历氧化还原循环会导致纳米岛的生长。我们结合原位电化学扫描隧道显微镜和循环伏安法研究了这种现象。在这里,我们对形成的岛屿进行详细分析,得出平均岛屿生长形状(的演变)。从岛的形状,我们确定原子级缺陷位点(例如台阶和刻面)的密度,这些缺陷位点与不同的伏安氢吸附峰之间显示出极好的相关性。基于电化学扫描隧道显微镜(EC-STM)和CV数据的结合,
