【 摘 要 】

The electrochemical behavior of ethylene electrooxidation on preferentially oriented Au surfaces is investigated in 1 M H2 SO4 aqueous solution at 25°C. A symmetric square wave periodic potential signal is applied to polycrystalline Au electrodes to obtain (111)-, (110)-, and (100)-type oriented surfaces, which are characterized by cyclic voltammograms and SEM micrographs. It is found that ethylene adsorbs at potentials just below the potential of zero charge of the Au/1 M H2 SO4 interface, and two residues are detected in an anodic stripping experiment. The adsorbed ethylene voltammetric electrooxidation, and the bulk ethylene anodic polarization curves are measured at the differently oriented Au surfaces.
