Description:Literature Seminar:\n\nSurface stability is one driving factor 
 for choosing an electrode. This beneficial property ensures control over t
 he electrochemical processes occurring at the surface. Platinum is a commo
 n electrode due to its surface being insensitive to adsorbate interactions
 . However\, it has recently been shown1 that the platinum surface does res
 tructure during oxidation/reduction cycles in the presence of certain adso
 rbates. The restructuring of the platinum surface when exposed to 1\,4-phe
 nelyne diisocyanide was studied2 using sum frequency generation\, a surfac
 e sensitive nonlinear spectroscopic technique. Scanning tunneling microsco
 py images were also taken to support the changes in the surface topography
 . From these experiments it was concluded that prolonged exposure to adsor
 bates and solvent rinsing causes metal surface reconstruction.\n\n&nbsp\;\
