Main Results:

  • High temperatures favor planar surfaces, while lower temperatures stabilize nano-facets.
  • Nano-facets predicted to be stable under electrochemical conditions.
  • Characteristic current peak observed in hydrogen adsorption region due to nano-facets.

Conclusions:

  • Nano-faceting of Ir(210) is predictable under both thermal and electrochemical environments.
  • Nano-facets significantly influence the electrochemical properties, specifically hydrogen adsorption.
  • Further studies on the electrocatalytic behavior of nano-faceted iridium are warranted.
