Abstract: In-situ time resolved Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the coadsorption of thiourea (TU) and ClO_4~- at Ag electrodes. The time resolved SERS intensities were monitored following electrode potential steps. As the electrode potential was stepped from -0.3 V to -0.9 V, the SERS intensities of TU were able to follow the potential change immediately. However, pro-longed time was needed for the intensities to follow the step from -0.9 V to -0.3 V. Significant difference of the rate of intensity change for different SERS bands of TU was observed even in such a potential step, which may be related to the changes in orientation of TU or its configuration with the coadsorbed ClO_4~-.
