The coadsorption of potassium with water at 100 K on graphene/Pt(111) has been studied by high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. The adsorption of alkali metals induces water splitting and the formation of C-H and C-OH groups. Such finding is of great interest for tailoring graphene-Pt electro-catalysts. Furthermore, the alkali-promoted dissociation of water molecules offers the possibility to attain a partial hydrogenation of the graphene sheet even at low temperature.
采用高分辨率电子能量损失谱研究了 100 K 时钾与水在石墨烯/Pt(111)上的共吸附。碱金属的吸附诱导了水分子的分裂和 C-H 和 C-OH 基团的形成。这一发现对于定制石墨烯-Pt 电催化剂具有重要意义。此外,碱促进水分子的离解提供了在低温下实现石墨烯片部分氢化的可能性。
