Temperature-Dependent Hydrogen Electrochemistry on Platinum Low-Index Single-Crystal Surfaces in Acid Solutions

The hydrogen evolution (HER) and the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) were studied on platinum single crystals in a sulfuric acid solution over the temperature range 274−333 K. We found, for the first time, that at a fixed temperature (274 K) the exchange current densities ( i o ) increase in th…
