The performance of mixture of methanol and ethylene glycol (EG) oxidation has been studied on both Pt and Pd electrodes in alkaline medium. The activity of EG oxidation is better than that of methanol oxidation and the stability of EG oxidation is better than that of methanol and ethanol oxidation on the Pd electrode. The onset potential for ethanol oxidation is more negative 200 mV than that of EG, however the stability of EG oxidation on the Pd electrode is better than that of ethanol oxidation. The performance of methanol oxidation improves pronouncedly by adding a small amount of EG on both Pt and Pd electrodes. The onset potential and peak potential of mixture of methanol and EG oxidation are close to or more negative than that of sole methanol and EG oxidation on the Pd electrode. The mixture of methanol and EG is more easily to be electrochemically oxidized and gives a better performance than sole methanol and EG on the Pd electrode. The results show that the mixture of methanol and EG is a promising candidate as fuel in direct alcohol fuel cells. 相似文献

Pt‐SnOx nanoparticles were synthesized by the ethylene glycol (EG) method in solution of H2PtCl6 and SnCl2, with the same concentrations of Pt and Sn, but different pH values. The pH value after the end of platinum reduction reaction was not changed any more, except that a certain amount of water was added to deposit the Pt‐SnOx nanoparticles on the carbon support. The pre‐nanocatalysts were characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to investigate the contents of Pt and Sn, and their catalytic activities for ethanol electrooxidation were tested by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The result was that the Sn contents were increasing as the Pt/Sn atomic ratios of 2.2, 2.6, 5.1, 7.4, 8.7, with the decreasing end pH values of 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, and the Pt contents became less than the addition in the preparation solution while the end pH values were <5.5, but the catalytic activities for ethanol electrooxidation were not so much regularly changed. Besides, from the end pH value of 5.5 to the increasing 9.0, all the platinum nanoparticles could be completely deposited on the carbon support, under the condition that only a certain amount of water was added. 相似文献

Electrooxidation of ethanol on a polycrystalline Pd disk electrode in alkaline media was studied by in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) reflection spectroscopy. The emphasis was put on the quantitative determination of intermediates and products involved in the oxidation. It has revealed that most of ethanol was incompletely oxidized to acetate. The selectivity for ethanol oxidation to CO2 (existing as CO32− in alkaline media) was determined as low as 2.5% in the potential region where Pd electrode exhibited considerable electrocatalytic activity (−0.60 to 0.0 V vs. SCE). Nevertheless, the ability of Pd for breaking C-C bond in ethanol is still slightly better than that of Pt under the same conditions. Besides, a very weak band of adsorbed intermediate, bridge-bonded CO (COB) was identified on the Pd electrode for the first time, suggesting that CO2 and CO32− species may also be generated through CO pathway (i.e., indirect pathway). 相似文献

The electrochemical oxidation of 2,3- 2,4- and 2,5-diaminophenol, on platinum electrode, in acid medium was studied using cyclic voltammetry, in situ UV-vis and in situ FTIR spectroscopies. The spectroscopic data indicates that 2,4-diaminophenol suffers hydrolysis giving the formation of 2-amino-hydroquinone/2-amino-p-benzoquinone in solution. The oxidation mechanism of 2,5-diaminophenol is similar to the p-phenylenediamine giving 2-hydroxy-p-benzoquinoneimine and its hydrolysis product, 2-hydroxy-p-benzoquinone. The electrochemical results suggest that 2,3-diaminophenol generates a non-electroactive polymeric material on the electrode surface. 相似文献

A study of O2 reduction in 1 M NaOH solution at gas diffusion electrodes made from carbon supported Pt and Pt/Ru catalysts is reported. Two Tafel regions were observed for both the Pt and Pt/Ru electrodes. Although the same mechanism was suggested for oxygen reduction on both Pt and Pt/Ru catalysts, the O2 reduction activity was lower on Ru. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) analysis was carried out at different potentials and showed the significant contribution of diffusion on the reaction process and kinetics. The effect of methanol on O2 reduction was investigated in solutions containing various concentrations of methanol. The electrode performance deteriorated with increasing methanol concentration because of a mixed cathode potential. The methanol tolerance, i. e., the methanol concentration which polarises the O2 reduction reaction for O2 reduction, at the Pt/C electrode with a Pt loading of 1.2 mg cm–2 is 0.2 M methanol in 1 M NaOH. 相似文献
