Abstract

An in-situ XPS and voltammetry investigation of the redox properties of LaCrj1-xNixO3(x = 0.4, 1) was carried out by incorporating the materials as one electrode in an electrochemical cell (LaCr1xNixO3|YSZ|Pd:PdO), which was directly mounted on a heated sample stage in an ultra high vacuum (UHV) chamber. Under a 0.7V cathodic bias, the perovskites reduce from formal oxidation state of Ni3+ to Ni2+. This reduction is accompanied by wholesale shifts of the Cr and O core level binding energies, in keeping with the delocalized electronic states in the material. The adsorption properties of the surfaces are affected by the redox state of the surfaces; increased CO2adsorption is observed on the reduced (and therefore more basic) surface.
