Polyaniline-carbon composite films as supports of Pt and PtRu particles for methanol electrooxidation
Vulcan XC-72 carbon black particles (average size: ca. 50 nm) was incorporated into polyaniline (PANI) matrix by an electrochemical codeposition technique during the electropolymerization process. The doping by carbon particles leads to a higher polymeric degree and a lower defect density in the PANI structure. Furthermore, the incorporation of carbon particles not only increases the electroche...
متن کاملEffect of electrochemical polarization of PtRu/C catalysts on methanol electrooxidation
To determine the influence of electrochemical polarization of PtRu/C catalysts on methanol electrooxidation, this work investigated methanol electrooxidation on as received and different electrochemically polarized PtRu/C catalysts. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the redox state of PtRu/C after different electrochemical polarization. The m...
متن کاملMethanol and CO electrooxidation
The methanol oxidation reaction has been the subject of a large number of studies in the past.[1, 2] Early work revealed a complex reaction mechanism,[3–6] indicating the electrocatalysis of methanol oxidation as the most difficult task in the realization of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). Several metal catalysts were proposed for the reaction, most of them based on modifications of Pt with...
متن کاملSynergy effect of nanostructure electrodes supported by tungsten carbide and oxide for methanol electrooxidation.
We report nanostructure electrodes for methanol electrooxidation by means of the co-sputtering deposition method. The Pt-WC-WO(3) three-phase electrode has higher I(f)/I(b) and oxidation current density i.e. improved electrocatalytic activity in comparison with those of pure Pt and two-phase electrodes because of both catalysis of tungsten carbide and size-control by tungsten oxide.
متن کاملCobalt/copper-decorated carbon nanofibers as novel non-precious electrocatalyst for methanol electrooxidation
In this study, Co/Cu-decorated carbon nanofibers are introduced as novel electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation. The introduced nanofibers have been prepared based on graphitization of poly(vinyl alcohol) which has high carbon content compared to many polymer precursors for carbon nanofiber synthesis. Typically, calcination in argon atmosphere of electrospun nanofibers composed of cobalt acetat...
