Heterogeneous electrocatalysis of formic acid oxidation on platinum single crystal electrodes

The oxidation of formic acid on single crystal platinum electrodes modified by a constant coverage of irreversibly adsorbed adatoms is described in this review. This subject has been studied for a wide period and the available information is huge. In consequence, we have selected the self-consistent set of results, which try to explain the nature of the electrocatalytic behavior of the adatoms and to point out the research details that should be...
