Abstract
We report herein the in situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (ECSTM) study on the synergistic effect of Mg2+ in CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) catalyzed by cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc). ECSTM measurement molecularly resolves the self-assembled CoPc monolayer on the Au(111) substrate. In the CO2 environment, high-contrast species are observed in the adlayer and assigned to the CO2 adsorption on CoPc. Furthermore, the contrast of the CO2-bound complex is higher in Mg2+-containing electrolytes than in Mg2+-free electrolytes, indicating the formation of the CoPc-CO2-Mg2+ complex. The surface coverage of adsorbed CO2 is positively correlated with the Mg2+ concentration as the additive in electrolytes up to a plateau of 30.8 ± 2.7% when c(Mg2+) > 30 mM. The potential step experiment indicates the higher CO2 adsorption dynamics in Mg2+-containing electrolytes than without Mg2+. The rate constants of CO2 adsorption and dissociation in different electrolytes are extracted from the data fitting of statistical results from in situ ECSTM experiments.

Abstract
The adsorption and electrooxidation of CO molecules at well-defined Pt(hkl) single-crystal electrode surfaces is a key step towards addressing catalyst poisoning mechanisms in fuel cells. Herein, we employed in situ electrochemical shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS) coupled with theoretical calculation to investigate CO electrooxidation on Pt(hkl) surfaces in acidic solution. We obtained the Raman signal of top- and bridge-site adsorbed CO* molecules on Pt(111) and Pt(100). In contrast, on Pt(110) surfaces only top-site adsorbed CO* was detected during the entire electrooxidation process. Direct spectroscopic evidence for OH* and COOH* species forming on Pt(100) and Pt(111) surfaces was afforded and confirmed subsequently via isotope substitution experiments and DFT calculations. In summary, the formation and adsorption of OH* and COOH* species plays a vital role in expediting the electrooxidation process, which relates with the pre-oxidation peak of CO electrooxidation. This work deepens knowledge of the CO electrooxidation process and provides new perspectives for the design of anti-poisoning and highly effective catalysts.
