Platinum on nitrogen doped graphene and tungsten carbide supports for ammonia electro-oxidation reaction

Ammonia electrooxidation reaction involving multistep electron-proton transfer is a significant reaction for fuel cells, hydrogen production and understanding nitrogen cycle. Platinum has been established as the best electrocatalyst for ammonia oxidation in aqueous alkaline media. In this study, Pt/nitrogen-doped graphene (NDG) and Pt/tungsten monocarbide (WC)/NDG are synthesized by a wet chemistry method and their ammonia oxidation activities are compared to commercial Pt/C. Pt/NDG exhibits a specific activity of 0.472 mA∙cm^–2, which is 44% higher than commercial Pt/C, thus establishing NDG as a more effective support than carbon black. Moreover, it is demonstrated that WC as a support also impacts the activity with further 30% increase in comparison to NDG. Surface modification with Ir resulted in the best electrocatalytic activity with Pt-Ir/WC/NDG having almost thrice the current density of commercial Pt/C. This work adds insights regarding the role of NDG and WC as efficient supports along with significant impact of Ir surface modification.

A new equation of state to predict S-CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> flow with real gas effects

The accuracy of the thermodynamic properties prediction from the different Equation of state (EOS) varies upon the range of temperature and pressure. Despite the variety of EOS available, there is no de facto for selecting an EOS for particular computational modeling. The EOS model recently developed by Kumar and Kim (K-K EOS) determines more accurately the thermodynamic properties of CO₂ than earlier models. In this present study, K-K EOS is successfully implemented in the computational analysis of compressible supercritical CO₂ flow (S-CO₂) in the thermodynamic region near and away from the vapour-liquid critical point. Computational results of SCO₂ flow with the real gas properties predicted with the K-K EOS is compared with Span and Wagner (SW EOS) and ideal EOS.
