abstract = {The technical application of bimetallic core-shell
particles, which are highly attractive because of their high
electrocatalytic activity, depends crucially on their
long-term stability under operating conditions. In the
present multi-method study, we explored the stability of
structurally well-defined Ru-core Pt-shell model systems
during the CO oxidation (COOR) and methanol oxidation (MOR)
reactions. These electrodes consist of a single-crystalline
Ru(0001) substrate covered by epitaxial Pt films of one to
three atomic layers. The reaction-induced modifications in
the surface morphology were identified by scanning tunneling
microscopy (STM) measurements performed before and after the
electrocatalytic measurement, which reveal a higher
stability for electrodes with around three layers of Pt (up
to 1.4 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode) than for
those with fewer layers. Differential electrochemical mass
spectrometry (DEMS) measurements carried out during the COOR
allow separation of the COOR currents from surface redox
processes, providing insight into the role of surface
oxidation / reduction processes during the COOR. Operando
surface X-ray diffraction (SXRD) measurements performed
during electro-oxidation of methanol confirm the much higher
stability of the electrodes with three Pt layers. The main
conclusion of this work is that during the electro-oxidation
of organic molecules, the stability of the electrodes is, in
general, improved due to the reactive removal of OH/O
species from the surface.},
