The desorption of bismuth from a platinum electrode in acid solution is studied. It is shown that, as found for some other metals, bismuth can form a monolayer on the surface of the platinum at potentials which are somewhat more positive than the expected plating-out potential. In contrast to the ad

β¦ Synopsis
Copper is shown to deposit as a monolayer on to platinum at controlled potentials more positive than the potential at which it will deposit in bulk. An explanation is advanced in terms of the dflerences in free energy of the copper-platinum bond and the copper-copper bond. The chemisorption appears to take place about two main potentials and it is postulated that the difference between these may be associated with the difference in surface energy of two crystal faces of the platinum.
The results are correlated with the previous work on thallium and provide further evidence that the surface coverage can approach 100%.

Formation and properties of UPD Cu deposits on polycrystalline Pt electrodes have been studied in sulfuric acid with various additions of chloride, thiourea (TU), acetonitrile (ACN) and polyethylenglycole (PEG). The experimental set-up combines coulometry, in situ microgravimetry and in situ differe
The electrodeposition of Cu from diluted CuSO, in 0.5 M H,SO, on columnar structured Pt electrodes was studied through voltammetry. For a constant set of experimental conditions, as the Pt electrode roughness is increased, bulk Cu electrodeposition tends to disappear, the amount of electroadsorbed H
