The electro-oxidation of CO on Pt surface is not only fundamentally important in electrochemistry, but also practically important in residential fuel cells for avoiding the poisoning of Pt catalysts by CO. We carried out cyclic voltammetry on Pt(111), (110), (100), (10 10 9), (10 9 8), (10 2 1), (432), and (431) single-crystal surfaces using a three compartment cell to understand the activity and durability towards the electro-oxidation of CO saturated in 0.1 M HClO4. During the potential cycles between 0.07 and 0.95 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode, the current for the electro-oxidation of CO at potentials lower than 0.5 V disappeared, accompanied by surface reconstruction. Among the electrodes, the Pt(100) electrode showed the lowest onset potential of 0.29 V, but the activity abruptly disappeared after one potential cycle; the active sites were extremely unstable. In order to investigate the processes of the deactivation, potential-step measurements were also conducted on Pt(111) in a CO-saturated solution. Repeated cycles of the formations of Pt oxides at a high potential and Pt carbonyl species at a low potential on the surface were proposed as the deactivation process.

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are ubiquitous in many fields, from nanotechnology to heterogeneous catalysis, with properties differing from those of single-crystal surfaces and bulks. A key aspect is the size-dependent evolution of NP properties toward the bulk limit, including the adoption of different NP shapes, which may bias the NP stability based on the NP size. Herein, the stability of different Pdn NPs (n = 10–1504 atoms) considering a myriad of shapes is investigated by first-principles energy optimisation, leading to the determination that icosahedron shapes are the most stable up to a size of ca. 4 nm. In NPs larger than that size, truncated octahedron shapes become more stable, yet a presence of larger {001} facets than the Wulff construction is forecasted due to their increased stability, compared with (001) single-crystal surfaces, and the lower stability of {111} facets, compared with (111) single-crystal surfaces. The NP cohesive energy breakdown in terms of coordination numbers is found to be an excellent quantitative tool of the stability assessment, with mean absolute errors of solely 0.01 eV·atom−1, while a geometry breakdown allows only for a qualitative stability screening.
