Published in Russian in Elektrokhimiya, 2016, Vol. 52, No. 9, pp. 999–1010 ; The processes of adsorption/desorption of copper adatoms on the basal Pt(100) face and stepped Pt(610), Pt(410) surfaces have been studied in perchloric acid solution by cyclic voltammetry. It has been shown that the positions of the Cu stripping peaks are determined by perfection of the adlayer. The “island” model is suggested to describe electrochemical behavior of the Pt(hkl)+Cuad system. Obtained results are important for target modification of shape-controlled nanoparticles that are used in electrocatalysis. ; Financial support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (project no. 14-03-00530), MINECO (CTQ2013-44083-P) and Generalitat Valenciana (PrometeoII/2014/013) (Feder, Spain) is gratefully acknowledged.
