Cu(001) - \(0.1 \; \mathrm{M}\) \(\ce{ NaOH }\)

echemdb identifier: kunze_2003_situ_113_f1a_black
tags: BCV

A cyclic voltammogramm for Cu(001) recorded in \(0.1 \; \mathrm{M}\) \(\ce{ NaOH }\) at a scan rate of \(20 \; \mathrm{mV\,s^{-1}}\) from Figure 1a in J. Kunze et al. In situ STM study of the anodic oxidation of Cu\(001\) in 0.1 M NaOH. Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, 554:113–125, 2003

Further information

The figure shows digitized data.

The Cu(001) electrode was prepared by:

• Crystals were oriented with X-ray Laue diffraction.
• Mechanically polished with diamond spray to a final 0.25 µm grading.
• Electropolished in 60% ortho-phosphoric acid for 5 min at 1.80 V.
• Subsequently annealed at 1000 K for 16 h in 6N hydrogen at normal pressure. Preparation reference: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0022-0728(03)00115-3
