Cu(911) - \(0.1 \; \mathrm{M}\) \(\ce{ NaOH }\)

echemdb identifier: schouten_2013_electrochemical_6_f1_cu911
tags: BCV

A cyclic voltammogramm for Cu(911) recorded in \(0.1 \; \mathrm{M}\) \(\ce{ NaOH }\) at a scan rate of \(50 \; \mathrm{mV\,s^{-1}}\) from Figure 1 in K. J. P. Schouten et al. The electrochemical characterization of copper single-crystal electrodes in alkaline media. Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, 699:6–9, 2013

Further information

The figure shows digitized data.

The Cu(911) electrode was prepared by:

• Bead-type electrodes that were cut and polished with an accuracy down to 0.5°.
• Electropolished in 66% H3PO4 at 3 V versus a Cu counter electrode for 10 s, then rinsed with water before each experiment. Preparation reference: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelechem.2013.03.018
