On the oxidation mechanism of C1-C2 organic molecules on platinum. A comparative analysis

The rational design of better electrocatalysts for the oxidation C1–C2 organic molecules requires detailed knowledge their mechanism. Pt single crystals are powerful tools to study, in a simple way, surface structure effect on different reaction pathways. Here, mechanism these is compared so that gained with simpler transferred analysis more complex ones. goal strategies platinum electrodes improve performance by appropriate modification other elements attacking bottlenecks
