Abstract

A three-dimensional model consisting of a fluid in contact with a planar wall containing a lattice of adsorption sites is useful for studying phase transitions at the solid-fluid interface. Results have been obtained both for adsorption from a fluid of hard spheres and for deposition of a metal from a dilute solution of metal ions. The latter case is used to model the underpotential deposition of a metal onto a single-crystal electrode. The model explains the qualitative features of the voltammogram of the underpotential deposition of copper on the (111) surface of a gold electrode in the presence of bisulfate.
