The process of Cu underpotential deposition (UPD) on polycrystalline Pt (pc Pt) has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques using (bi)sulfate and perchlorate (with/without the addition of a small amount of NaCl) as supporting electrolytes, respectively. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of the anions influences both the reversibility and charge transfer resistance ( R  ct ) of Cu UPD reactions on pc Pt. With a negative shift of the applied potential, R  ct of the (bi)sulfate system decreases monotonously, whereas R  ct of the perchlorate system (with/without Cl - ions) decreases at first and then increases. Cu UPD on pc Pt follows Langmuir-type adsorption and two-dimensional nucleation/growth mechanisms. The specific adsorption anions ((bi)sulfate and chloride ions) can not only enhance the Cu UPD process by decreasing R  ct , but also favor instantaneous 2D nucleation and subsequent grain growth. Finally, the possible deposition mechanisms of the Cu UPD process in the presence of specific adsorption anions were proposed.
