supporting electrolytes were purged with argon or nitrogen to remove oxygen.
The Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) experiments were performed using
polycrystalline metal electrodes polished and cleaned according to the
procedure described in the preparation of electrode part. The electrode was
washed by nitride acid before each experiment. The measurements were
conducted in a glass-Teflon cell equipped with a Pt CE and an Ag/AgCI
reference electrode ([CI-] =3M). Millipore water was used for solution
preparation. All electrochemical measurements were conducted at room
temperature (25C).
1.5.2 Equipment
The electrochemical experiments were performed using a CH instrument
model 400 potentiostat and controlled by a PIII computer. Custom software
was used to record cyclic voltammograms (CVs) and to perform the
chronocoulometric experiments.
1.6 How to oxidize the ruthenium electrode
From the introduction part of ruthenium properties, the ruthenium can be
oxidized in a certain conditions, which is critical for the further experiments of
this thesis. The main reason is that the ruthenium oxide is conductive, which
has interesting properties to compare with the ruthenium electrode, and it's
behavior is progressive as the polycrystalline ruthenium electrode. Now, it is no
literature to report the copper electrodeposition on oxidized ruthenium.13
