The electrochemical oxidation of H2/CO mixtures (100 ppm and 2% CO) on Pt/Ru gas-diffusion electrodes (GDE) is examined using in-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The impedance spectrum of the poisoned electrode is strongly concentration, and potential dependent, showing evidence for three states of activity of the surface: a) a state in the 0−0.3 V potential range, in which the impedance is very high and increases with the bias potential; a low-frequency loop in EIS is assigned to the rate-determining step (CO adsorption or diffusion), while a high-frequency arc provides evidence for a more rapid processthe charge transfer on holes preexisting in the CO ads adlayer; (b) a state between 0.3 V and a critical potential (Vcrit), in which the impedance decreases with potential; the characteristic feature in this region is the appearance of a pseudo-inductive pattern, with a negative (inductive) loop at the lowest frequencies, assigned to the oxidation of Pt−COads by Ru−OHads. The time scale ...
