Effects of Trace Anions on the Voltammetry of Single Crystal Gold Surfaces

摘要

The development of a new technique for mounting single crystals as a HangingMeniscus Rotating Disk (HMRD) electrode has facilitated the study of the effect of traces of anionic impurities on the voltammetry of gold single crystals. It is shown that the cause for most of the differences between voltammetry curves reported in the literature for the same crystal face is the presence in the
