Calculations of the pH-Dependent Onset Potential for CO Electrooxidation on Au(111)

CO electrooxidation on the Au(111) surface exhibits an onset potential that depends strongly on the pH of the electrolyte. In alkaline solution, the onset potential for CO electrooxidation is found, experimentally, to be 0.5 V lower than in acidic media on the reversible hydrogen electrode scale. Th...

520 |a CO electrooxidation on the Au(111) surface exhibits an onset potential that depends strongly on the pH of the electrolyte. In alkaline solution, the onset potential for CO electrooxidation is found, experimentally, to be 0.5 V lower than in acidic media on the reversible hydrogen electrode scale. This phenomenon is explained here with density functional theory which is used to calculate adsorbate binding energies including the electric double layer of the Au(111)/aqueous interface. Our model consists of a charged Au(111) slab and implicit solvation for the electrolyte. The double reference method is used to determine the potential-dependent CO electrooxidation reaction energetics. A microkinetic model, based upon the calculated reaction energetics, confirms the lower onset potential in alkaline media. Our results show that there are three factors contributing to the lower onset potential in base: (1) stronger CO adsorption, (2) attraction between adsorbed CO and OH-, and (3) the high concentration of OH- in base
