Abstract

The oxidation of copper is essential for several fields, such as corrosion, catalytic methanol synthesis, and CO₂ electroreduction. However, the understanding of the oxidation of copper under various conditions is not complete. Here, we study the oxidation of the vicinal Cu(911) surface by O₂ with in-situ Surface X-ray Diffraction. It was found that the surface facets to (410), (401), and (100) which are stable in the parameter range of T = 25–400 °C and p = 10⁻¹⁰–10⁻⁵ mbar O₂. The (410) and (401) facets are present until the surface is further oxidized to Cu₂O, at 10⁻⁵ mbar and above. These results further the knowledge on the oxidation of copper and its surfaces, which may be of importance for a wide range of applications.
