Abstract

We present the first in situ surface Raman spectra of hydrogen on rhodium under electrochemical conditions using gold-core rhodium-shell (Au@Rh) nanoparticles for SERS or gold-core silica-shell (Au@SiO(2)) nanoparticles for SHINERS. The advantage of SHINERS lies in the versatility to study single crystal surfaces such as the H-Rh(111) system.
