The surface chemistry occurring during electrocatalysis is the key to understand the reaction mechanism.Electrochemical and optical methods were used to investigate the charge accumulation at amorphous and single crystals of Cu surfaces interacting with a supra pure HCl solution.
The investigation of the adsorption/desorption of Cl- ions was carried out using cyclic voltammetry, in which the integrated charge and ion - exchange is measured in a potential window where we prevent damage of the copper surface.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement on the (111) and (110) faces of copper was used to extract capacitance and resistance parameters. Equivalent circuit modeling was used to suggest the potential of zero charges (PZC).
Spectroscopy Ellipsometry for in operando characterization allows to probe the solid/liquid interface directly while applying an external potential and during chronoamperometry. The correlation of these two techniques allows to shed light on the charge accumulation on the copper surface electrodes.
