Abstract

This study focuses on CO adsorption at tetrahexahedral Pt nanocrystals (THH Pt NCs) by using cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR spectroscopy. Since the electrochemically prepared THH Pt NCs in this study are enclosed by {730} facets which could be considered by a subfacet configuration of 2{210} + {310}, we have also studied CO adsorption on the interrelated Pt(310) and Pt(210) single crystal electrodes as a comparison. Cyclic voltammetry results demonstrated that CO adsorbs dominantly on the (100) sites of THH Pt NCs at low CO coverage (θCO ≤ 0.135), while on both (100) and (110) sites at higher CO coverage. On ordered Pt(310) and Pt(210), i.e. they were flame annealed and then cooled in H2 + Ar, CO adsorption also illustrates relative priority on (100) sites at low CO coverage; while at high CO coverage or on oxygen-disordered Pt(310) and Pt(210) when they were cooled in air after flame annealing, the adsorption of CO presents a weak preference on (100) sites of Pt(310) and even no preference at all on (100) sites of Pt(210). In situ FTIR spectroscopic studies illustrated that CO adsorption on THH Pt NCs yields anomalous infrared effects (AIREs), which are depicted by the Fano-like IR feature on a dense distribution (60 μm−2) and the enhancement of abnormal IR absorption on a sparse distribution (22 μm−2) of THH Pt NCs on glassy carbon substrate. Systematic investigation of CO coverage dependence of IR features revealed that, on THH Pt NCs, the IR band center (νCOL) of linearly bonded CO (COL) is rapidly shifted to higher wavenumbers along with the increase of CO coverage to 0.184, yielding a fast linear increase rate with a high slope (dνCOL/dθIRCO = 219 cm−1); when θIRCO > 0.184, the increase of νCOL with θCO slows down and deviates drastically from linearity. In contrast, the νCOL on the ordered Pt(310) electrode maintains a linear increase with θIRCO for the whole range of θIRCO variation, and gives a much smaller increase rate of slope 74.3 cm−1. The significant differences in CO adsorption behavior on THH Pt NCs and on interrelated Pt single crystal planes demonstrated clearly the unique properties of nanoparticles enclosed by high-index facets.
