Oxidation Mechanism of Formic Acid on the Bi-adatom Modified Pt(111) Surface
In order to improve catalytic processes, elucidation of reaction mechanisms is essential. Here, supported by a combination of experimental and computational results, the oxidation mechanism of formic acid on Pt(111) electrodes modified by the incorporation of bismuth adatoms is revealed. In the proposed model, formic acid is first physisorbed, on bismuth, and then deprotonated and chemisorbed i...
متن کاملEffects of the anion adsorption and pH on the formic acid oxidation reaction on Pt(111) electrodes
The effects of solution pH and anion adsorption for the formic acid oxidation reaction on the Pt(111) electrode have been examined using electrochemical techniques. Regarding the pH effects, it has been found that oxidation currents for this reaction increases as the pH increases, which indicates that solution formate is involved in the reaction mechanism. Unexpectedly, the adsorption of sulfat...
متن کاملAg/Pt Core-Shell Nanoparticles on Graphene Nanocomposite for Effective Anodic Fuels Electro-oxidation
The nanocomposite consists of the Ag as a core and Pt as shell on the surface of graphene nanosheets (Ag/Pt-G) was synthesized with a simple method and used as a novel electrochemical platform for an efficient catalyst for oxidation of the ethanol, methanol and formic acid. The morphology and electrochemical properties of Ag/Pt-G nanocomposite were investigated by TEM, X-ray diffraction, and vo...
متن کاملRevealing the active intermediates in the oxidation of formic acid on Au and Pt(111).
The mechanisms of formic acid (HCOOH) oxidation on Au(111) under gas-phase and electrochemical conditions was studied by using density functional theory and then compared with the analogous processes on Pt(111). Our results demonstrate that a mechanism involving a single intermediate molecule is preferred on both Au and Pt(111). Furthermore, under gas-phase conditions, HCOOH oxidation proceeds ...
متن کاملElectrooxidation of Formic Acid and Formaldehyde on the Fe3O4@Pt Core-Shell Nanoparticles/Carbon-Ceramic Electrode
In the present work, the electrooxidation of formic acid and formaldehyde; potentially important fuels for future fuel cells, was investigated on the Fe3O4@Pt core-shell nanoparticles/carbon-ceramic electrode (Fe3O4@Pt/CCE). The Fe3O4@Pt nanoparticles were prepared via a simple and fast chemical method and their surface morph...
