Stabilization and acidic dissolution mechanism of single-crystalline ZnO(0001) surfaces in electrolytes studied by in-situ AFM imaging and ex-situ LEED

A combined approach of pH-dependent in-situ AFM topography and ex-situ LEED studies of the stability and dissolution of single-crystalline ZnO(0001)-Zn surfaces in aqueous media is presented. Hydroxide-stabilized and single-crystalline ZnO(0001)-Zn surfaces turned out to be stable within a wide pH r...

520 |a A combined approach of pH-dependent in-situ AFM topography and ex-situ LEED studies of the stability and dissolution of single-crystalline ZnO(0001)-Zn surfaces in aqueous media is presented. Hydroxide-stabilized and single-crystalline ZnO(0001)-Zn surfaces turned out to be stable within a wide pH range between 11 and 4 around the point of zero charge of pH PZC = 8.7 +/- 0.2. Hydroxide stabilization turned out to be a very effective stabilization mechanism for polar oxide surfaces in electrolyte solutions. The dissolution of the oxide surface started at an acidic pH level of 5.5 and occurred selectively at the pre-existing step edges, which consist of nonpolar surfaces. In comparison, the oxide dissolution along the ZnO(0001) direction proved to be effectively inhibited above a pH value of 3.8. On the basis of these microscopic observations, the mechanistic understanding of the acidic dissolution process of ZnO could be supported. Moreover, both the in-situ AFM and the ex-situ LEED studies showed that the stabilization mechanism of the ZnO(0001) surfaces changes in acidic electrolytes. At pH values below 3.8, the hydroxide-stabilized surface is destabilized by dissolution of the well-ordered radical3. radical3. R30 hydroxide ad-layer as proven by LEED. Restabilization occurs and leads to the formation of triangular nanoterraces with a specific edge termination. However, below pH 4 the surface structure of the crystal itself is ill-defined on the macroscopic scale because preferable etching along crystal defects as dislocations into the bulk oxide results in very deep hexagonal etching pits
