Abstract

The Chevrel type chalcogenide with the stoichiometry Mo6-xMxX8 (M=transition metal, e.g., Mx=Ru2; X=Chalcogene atom, e.g., S, Se) containing octahedral mixed-metal clusters of transition-metal atoms was investigated with respect to the oxygen reduction process in an in situ electrochemical enviroment via the EXAFS technique. The spectra analysis on Ru and Mo edges as a function of applied electrode potential revealed that ruthenium centers were preferentially modified by the presence of oxygen in the electrolyte. The variation in distance between Ru-(Ru, Mo) was more sensitive in oxygen saturated solution as compared to Mo-(Ru, Mo) and Ru-Se.
