Resumen
The nature of reduced CO<sub>2</sub> adsorbates, as well as the mechanisms for their electro-oxidation on platinum, have been reviewed through the light of new experimental data obtained by cyclic voltammetry and by Fourier transform infrared reflectance spectroscopy. Three different “reduced” CO<sub>2</sub> adsorbates are described as “‘ensembles”. It is suggested that they involve different extents of adsorbed entities, among which weakly bound and strongly bound hydrogen atoms play the most important role.
