Lifting of Thermally-Induced Surface Reconstruction on Au(100) Electrode by Protonated Molecules of Dopamine

  • Piotr Skoluda

Abstract

A study of the current-potential and capacity curves of Au(100) electrode prepared by flame method provide evidence that not only anions or organic molecules but also cations (protonated molecules of dopamine) can lift the reconstruction. Our investigation indicate also that coumarin hinders the adsorption of these cations and thus delays lifting of the reconstruction. It was found that the deprotonated form of dopamine also lifts the reconstruction but at much more negative potentials.
