[PMID: 38680361 PMCID: PMC11044226 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
A nickel film electroplated onto a metal substrate can be used as a catalyst for water splitting and a magnetic material for spin valves. Although the nucleation and growth of Ni on Au(111) have already been examined with in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), the current study provides new insights of the structure of the first layer of Ni on an ordered Au(111) electrode in 0.1 M KSO4 + 1 mM H2SO4 + 10 mM NiSO4 (pH 3). Prolonged STM scanning of the Ni monolayer on a Au(111) electrode revealed interfacial mixing to produce a surface alloy, initially assuming segregated Ni domains and later transforming them to a homogeneous Ni/Au phase. The formation of the Ni/Au(111) surface alloy affected the structure of the subsequent bulk Ni deposition. The inclusion of 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI) in the deposition bath incurred Ni deposition at a less negative potential and a faster rate, resulting in an overall 5.3 times more Ni deposited on the Au electrode in potentiodynamic experiments. MMI molecules were adsorbed on the Ni deposit to prevent Ni dissolution in the Au(111) electrode. MMI could catalyze the presumed rate-determining step from Ni2+ to Ni+ en route to the metallic Ni. The resultant Ni film with MMI had a 3D texture without a preferred crystal orientation on the Au electrode, as opposed to a layer type growth of Ni on Au(111) without MMI.

Abstract
ABSTRACTAn in-situ STM study of the initial stages of Ni electrodeposition on Au and Cu single-crystals is presented. On reconstructed Au(111) a complex, potential-dependent nucleation and growth process is found, involving selective Ni island formation at specific surface sites and growth of two types (compact and needle-like) of Ni monolayer islands. At higher coverages (1 ML ≤ θ ≤ 5 ML) an almost perfect layer-by-layer growth of a metallic Ni(111)-film was observed. Considerably rougher films were found on Au(100) and Cu(100).

Abstract
By studying the electrochemical growth and dissolution of a Ni monolayer on a PdAu bimetallic surface with in situ STM, we demonstrate that Ni grows preferentially on Au(111) in a wide potential range. In contrast, a Ni monolayer covering the entire bimetallic surface can be selectively dissolved from Pd islands. We show that the Ni-substrate interactions play a key role in this selectivity, and we estimate the binding energy of Ni to Pd to be 80 meV smaller than that of Ni to Au.

Abstract
Nanophysics at electrochemical interfaces, probing the physical properties of nanostructures, requires laterally resolved in-situ spectroscopy, in particular voltage tunneling spectroscopy (VTS), which is at present not yet established. In-situ spectroscopy is required to achieve reliable and reproducible measurements of the intrinsic properties of nanostructures in an electrochemical environment, which are mainly determined in small nanostructures by surface atoms rather than bulk atoms. In contrast to tunneling spectroscopy in ultrahigh vacuum, tip and substrate double-layer capacitances as well as Faradaic currents play an important role in voltage tunneling spectroscopy at electrochemical interfaces. Deoxygenation of the electrolyte, fast measurements using appropriate instrumentation, and minimization of the unisolated tip apex and substrate surface areas exposed to the electrolyte are the key parameters to achieve reliable in-situ voltage tunneling spectroscopy data at electrochemical interfaces. The presented data show that bias voltage intervals of more than 1000 mV can be utilized for spectroscopic investigations in aqueous electrolytes, which allow the in-situ study of discrete electronic levels in nanostructures.
