Coulostatic potential transients induced by laser heating of a Pt(111) single-crystal electrode in aqueous acid solutions. Rate of hydrogen adsorption and potential of maximum entropy

Short pulses (∼10 ns) of high-power laser light produce a sudden increase in the surface temperature of a Pt(111) single-crystal electrode in acidified potassium perchlorate or sulfate solutions. The change of the electrode potential at open circuit was monitored during the relaxation of the tempera...
