Temperature Effect on Methanol and Ethanol Electrooxidation at Pt/C and Pt-Ru/C Microporous Electrodes

Ethanol Electrooxidation using Ti/(RuO2)(x) Pt(1-x) Electrodes Prepared by the Polymeric Precursor Method

Este trabalho descreve um estudo detalhado da oxidação eletroquímica de etanol sobre eletrodos de Ti/(RuO2)(x)Pt(1-x) com várias composições, preparados pelo método de precursores poliméricos. Os resultados obtidos usando voltametria cíclica e cronoamperometria mostraram que a melhor composição dos eletrodos de Ti/(RuO2)(x)Pt(1-x) para os processos de oxidação do CO e do etanol é Ti/(RuO2)(0.5)...

Methanol 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...

Synergy 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.

Ethanol electrooxidation on the Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles modified carbon-ceramic electrode in acidic and alkaline media

In this study, the electrocatalytic activity of the Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles toward the ethanol oxidation reaction has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry in acidic and alkaline media in details. The physicochemical data obtained in alkaline solution are compared to those in acidic solution. The obtained results demonstrate that while in the both media Co@Pt core...
