Popis: | Silver (II) oxide layers (AgO) were prepared by anodic oxidation of pre-oxidized, Ag2O-covered silver electrodes in 1 M NaOH (pH 13.8). The oxidized electrodes were investigated using a combination of electrochemical techniques, ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and in situ surface-sensitive grazing incidence X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS) under full potential control. The application of these different techniques leads to a detailed, consistent picture of the anodic silver (II) oxide layer formation. The experiments have shown that the chemical composition of the AgO layer varies significantly with oxidation potential, revealing a decreasing oxygen deficiency with increasing anodization potential and oxidation time. XPS as well as EXAFS experiments support the interpretation of the oxide as a mixed valence Ag+Ag3+O2 with different contributions of Ag+ and Ag3+ species, depending on potential and anodization time.
