 Abstract: In this study, near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) is applied to investigate an electrochemical cell consisting of a rhodium thin film catalyst supported on an yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) solid electrolyte under various ethylene-oxygen reaction mixtures. The aim of the study is twofold: first to show how the surface oxidation state of the Rh catalyst is correlated with the reactants feed composition and the temperature, and second, to reveal the effect of the anodic polarization on the stability of Rh oxides and the implications on the electrochemical promotion of catalysis. It is clearly shown that even under reducing conditions part of the Rh electrode remains oxidized at temperatures up to 250 °C. <br>Reduction of the oxide can take place by increasing the temperature under <br>C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub> excess, something which is not happening under oxidizing reaction mixtures. Moreover, anodic polarization, i.e. oxygen ion supply to the surface, facilitates reduction of oxidized Rh electrodes over a broad range of ethylene–oxygen reaction mixtures. Remarkably, under mildly reducing <br>conditions a stable ultrathin Rh surface oxide film forms over metallic Rh. This surface Rh oxide film (RhO<sub>x<sub>) is associated <br>to higher cell currents, counterintuitive to the case of bulk Rh oxides (Rh<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>).
