Water’s interaction with platinum demands closer examination, Sandia researchers find
October 13, 2010 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.— Basic assumptions about water’s adsorption to platinum do not hold true, Sandia researchers have found. “The way that water molecules prefer to arrange themselves on platinum has always been largely a matter of speculation,” Sandia researcher Peter Feibelman said. Accurate knowledge is important because the first layer of water...
