ResultsCyclic voltammograms for five" as-grown" crystals having (110),(001),(101),(111), and (100) surfaces indicate some systematic development of the peak structure, and because of this they are presented below in a preselected order9 At first are shown CV and other characteristics for (110) and (001) faces which show more developed voltammograms. The current-voltage characteristics for the (100) surface are discussed at the end because this surface shows more complicated behavior than the remaining faces.Ru02 (110) surface.--Shown in Fig. 1 are the cyclic voltammograms for the (110)" as-grown" surface of singlecrystal RuO2 in 0.5 mo]] dm 3 H2SO4 solution. Two distinct peaks are observed in cathodic scan of CV curves. We attribute these peaks to the hydrogen adsorption reactions and label them Hlc and H2c, respectively, in Fig. 1. Both reactions are quite reversible, and two anodic peaks corresponding to hydrogen desorption, labeled H2A and H, A, appear at nearly the same peak potentials as H2c and H, c, respectively. We note that the currents i,. a and ip.~ for the peaks H~ are about a factor of 2-3 smaller than those for the second pair of the reduction] oxidation peaks H2. The dependence of the peak current upon the potential scan rate, v, for all four peaks observed in the hydrogen adsorption] desorption reaction region is linear indicating surface-controlled reactions. In Fig. 1 are shown CV curves for only three values of v for purposes of clarity. Similarly, as discussed earlier (22), for the case of voltammograms not involving hydrogen adsorption region, established CV characteristics do not differ significantly from LSV~ urves and well-reproducible voltammograms can be obtained after a few cycles.
