echemdb identifier: wang_2001_situ_2809_f2a_black
tags: BCV

A cyclic voltammogramm for Ru(0001) recorded in \(1 \; \mathrm{M}\) \(\ce{ HClO4 }\) at a scan rate of \(10 \; \mathrm{mV\,s^{-1}}\) from Figure 2a in J. Wang et al. In situ X-ray reflectivity and voltammetry study of Ru\(0001\) surface oxidation in electrolyte solutions. The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 105\(14\):2809–2814, 2001

Further information

The figure shows digitized data.

The Ru(0001) electrode was prepared by:

• Preparation was performed in UHV.
• Sputtering at room temperature with 1 keV Ar ions, followed by five cycles of oxygen adsorption/desorption.
• Flash annealed in UHV at 1400 °C. Preparation reference: https://doi.org/10.1016/0039-6028(75)90409-4
