Abstract

The stretching mode of hydroxyl ions (OH and OD), which are located at the Ag electrode-electrolyte interface, has been observed. Two distinct peaks in the surface enhanced Raman spectra of interfacial hydroxyl ions were observed. The assignment of Raman peaks to hydroxyl ions was confirmed by adding KOH or HCl to the electrolyte or by electrochemically generating hydroxyl ions and hydrogen gas at the electrode interface.
