CO as a Probe Molecule to Study Surface Adsorbates during Electrochemical Oxidation of Propene

Abstract A major challenge in the electrochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons is understanding the formation of intermediate species, some of which continue to react, while others are non‐reactive or poisonous species that block adsorption of further reactants. Herein we investigate the identity and behavior of adsorbates formed during partial oxidation of propene. We employ two techniques: Electrochemistry‐Mass Spectrometry (EC‐MS) and …
