The development of surface NMR-electrochemistry: A new in situ analytical probe to examine electrochemical interfaces

Electrode potential-dependent NMR measurements of a $\sp{13}$C adsorbate on platinum were conducted for the first time. The method that I have developed has the capability of becoming a viable analytical technique in surface and solid-state electrochemistry. Using this method, carbon monoxide obtained from the decomposition of methanol was found to be bonded to a polycrystalline platinum electrode through linear and bridge configurations. Spin-spin and spin-lattice relaxation measurements were conducted to confirm the identification. Work completed previously by spectroelectrochemistry and gas-derived surface NMR measurements have been used for the data interpretation.
