| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Molecular behaviors of several molecules, e.g., energy carrier molecules, organic hydrides, alcohol, carbon dioxide on electrode surfaces are important subjects for future energy systems and, therefore, developments of effective electro-catalysts with suitable surface atomic arrangements and compositions are required. In this study, well-defined model catalysts (X/M(hkl)) are fabricated through molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of alloying elements X on the low-index single crystal surfaces of Pt and Au (M(hkl); M=Pt, Au)). Then, surface structural analysis, electrochemical measurements are performed for the prepared X/M(hkl) model catalysts and discussed the relation between surface atomic arrangements, alloy compositions and catalytic properties.
