Direct observation of the oxygenated species during oxygen reduction on a platinum fuel cell cathode

Understanding the oxygen reduction reaction at fuel cell cathodes requires information on adsorbed oxygenated species. Sanchez Casalongue et al. report in situ identification of oxygenated intermediates at cathodes and establish a correlation between the cathode potential and the surface speciation.
