prepared by flame-annealing and cooling in different atmospheres (air, N2, H2+ N2 and
CO+ N2) is presented. The electrodes were characterised by cyclic voltammetry and in-situ
STM in 0.1 M H2SO4. Preliminary voltammetric results for Pt (110) are also shown. In this
case, Cu upd served as a structure sensitive probe. It was observed that the presence of
oxygen during cooling induces surface defects and leads to rough surfaces. Cooling in pure …
