Abstract: A technique for preparing metal single crytal electrode is developed and the set-up associated to this technique has been also established.The results of underpotential deposition (UPD) of Cu2+ on Pt(100), Pt(111) and Pt(110) electrodes prepared by the present technique demonstrate that the use of single crystal electrodes can deepen the knowledge of electrochemical processes of surface at an atomic level.

Key words: Single crystal electrode, Underpotential deposition, Cyclic voltammetry
