Abstract

Over the last twenty years, special attention was directed to the electrochemical promotion of catalysis (EPOC). Electrochemical polarisation of catalytically active materials offers the unique possibility of in situ control of their reactivity. Nevertheless, the underlying processes at the three phase boundary between metal, solid electrolyte and the gas phase as well as the microscopic mechanism of the promotion are not yet unambiguously resolved. The scanning photoelectron microscope (SPEM) at the ESCA microscopy beamline provides the possibility to image morphological and chemical changes of surfaces during catalytic processes as can be seen in the examples below.
