Adlayer formation of water and (co-)adsorbed CO on Ru(0001) and Ptn ML/Ru(0001) – A low temperature STM model study — •Martin Schilling, Sylvain Brimaud, and R. Jürgen Behm — Ulm University, Institute of Surface Chemistry and Catalysis, D-89069 Ulm

Understanding the processes occurring at the electrode | electrolyte interface is of fundamental interest to understand the electrochemical/-catalytic processes on a catalyst surface in an aqueous environment. The adsorption of water on monometallic single crystal surfaces can be considered as model system for the solid | electrolyte interface, and accordingly this has been studied intensely, including STM studies [1,2]. Here it is important to note, that for water adsorption adsorbate–adsorbate interactions play a pronounced, if not dominant role for the structure formation process. Here we report results of a low temperature STM study, where we investigated the adlayer formation of (co-)adsorbed water and CO on Ptn ML/Ru(0001) [3,4] and Ru(0001) surfaces under UHV conditions. We discuss first the observed structures, and the role of adsorbate–metal and adsorbate–adsorbate interactions. Next, we propose a kinetic model describing the adlayer formation, and finally we discuss the role of competing of different adsorbed species (H2O, OH, CO, H) in the structure formation process.
