Methanol electrooxidation on Pt particles dispersed into PANI/SWNT composite films
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conducting polymer composite films comprised of polyaniline (PANI) and single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) was prepared by electrochemical codeposition during the electropolymerization in an aniline solution with suspending SWNT. The fabricated composite films are assessed with respect to their potential application as support materials in Pt electrocatalyst for electrochemical oxidation of methanol. The P fi a p m a ©

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 کاملA cheap and an efficient electrode for electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol with nickel particles dispersed into sodium dodecyl sulfate modified carbon paste electrode
A sodium dodecyl sulfate modified carbon paste electrode (SDS/CPE) was developed in this work based on the surface modification method. The modified electrode was prepared by immersing SDS/CPE in a nickel nitrate solution. This electrode showed a strong accumulation ability toward nickel ions. Then modified electrode was conditioned by potential recycling in a potential range of 0.2–0.8 V (vs. ...
متن کاملCopolymers Based on Indole-6-Carboxylic Acid and 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene as Platinum Catalyst Support for Methanol Oxidation
Indole-6-carboxylic acid (ICA) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) are copolymerized electrochemically on a stainless steel (SS) electrode to obtain poly(indole-6-carboxylic acid-co-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)s (P(ICA-co-EDOT))s. The morphology of P(ICA-co-EDOT)s is checked using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the SEM images reveal that these films are composed of highly porous fiber...
متن کاملNanocatalysts Impregnated Polythiophene Electrodes for the Electrooxidation of Formic Acid
Conductive and porous polythiophene (PTh) films, which are used as host matrices for Pt and Pt/Pd nanoparticles, are synthesized electrochemically. PTh films containing nanometre-sized Pt and Pt/Pd bimetallic particles are electro synthesized on an indium tin oxide (ITO) glass plate by voltammetric cycling between –0.1 to +1V (Vs Ag/AgCl / 2M NaCl). The ensuing PTh electrode, modified with nano...
