Radiotracers and NMR as in situ probes at the electrochemical interface
The design and construction of a radiotracer instrument which allows the quantitative measurement of a radiolabeled adsorbate on atomically smooth electrodes for the first time is described. Using this instrument, the surface mobilities of three organic molecules (pyridine, formic acid, and acetic acid) adsorbed on polycrystalline Pt electrodes were found to be inversely proportional to their strength of adsorption.
