Understanding the complementarities of surface-enhanced infrared and Raman spectroscopies in CO adsorption and electrochemical reduction

Xiaoxia Chang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that surface enhanced infrared and Raman spectroscopies provide similar data on strongly binding surfaces, but probe different subpopulations of adsorbates on weakly adsorbing surfaces. The lack of scaling between derivatives of the dipole moment and the polarizability explains the different responses of infrared and Raman spectroscopies. The competitive adsorption of water on weak binding metals might contribute to the differences in infrared and Raman responses among metal surfaces. It is also found that only copper sites capable of adsorbing carbon monoxide in an atop configuration visible to surface enhanced infrared spectroscopy are active in the electrochemical carbon monoxide reduction reaction.
