Electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on Ni modified polyaniline electrode in alkaline medium

Electrolytically deposited Ni on polyaniline film covered carbon paste electrode (Ni/PANI/CPE) was used as anode for the electrooxidation of methanol in alkaline medium. The electrochemical behavior and electrocatalytic activity of the electrode were studied using cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, chronomethods, and polarization studies. The morphology and composition of the modified film were obtained using scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray analysis techniques. The electrooxidation of methanol in NaOH was found to be more efficient on Ni/PANI/CPE than on bare Ni, electrodeposited Ni on Pt, Ni on glassy carbon, and Ni on CPE substrates. Partial chemical displacement of dispersed Ni on PANI with Pt or Pd further improved its performance towards methanol oxidation.     

Nickel foam-based composite electrodes for electrooxidation of methanol

Nickel foam and five nickel foam-based composite electrodes were prepared for being used as anode materials for the electrooxidation of methanol in KOH solution containing 0.1 and 1.0 M of methanol. The layered electrodes composed of nickel foam, platinum nanoparticles, polyaniline (PANI) and/or porous carbon (C) prepared in various assemblies. As shown by SEM analysis, depending on the preparation conditions, the electrodes of different morphologies were obtained. Using the cyclic voltammetry method, the oxidation of methanol on nickel foam electrode was observed in the potential range 0.4 V ↔ 0.7 V, where the Ni(OH)₂/NiOOH transformation occurred. The presence of Pt particles in electrode gave rise to the increase in electrocatalytic activity in this potential range. For electrodes containing dispersed platinum catalyst (Ni/Pt, Ni/PANI/Pt and Ni/C/Pt), the oxidation of methanol was noted also in the potential range −0.5 V ↔ 0.1 V. The electrocatalytic activities of the examined electrodes toward methanol oxidation at low potentials were in order Ni/Pt > Ni/C/Pt > Ni/PANI/Pt, whereas at high potentials in order Ni/PANI/Pt > Ni/Pt> Ni/C/Pt > Ni. Among the examined electrodes, the most resistant to cyclic poisoning appeared to be the Ni/C/Pt electrode.

Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Methanol at Lower Potentials on Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified by Platinum and Platinum Alloys Incorporated in Poly(o‐Aminophenol) Film

The electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol at a glassy carbon electrode modified by a thin film of poly(o‐aminophenol) (PoAP) containing Pt, Pt‐Ru and Pt‐Sn microparticles has been investigated using cyclic voltammetry as analytical technique and 0.10 M perchloric acid as supporting electrolyte. It has been shown that the presence of PoAP film increases considerably the efficiency of deposited Pt microparticles toward the oxidation of methanol. The catalytic activity of Pt particles is further enhanced when Ru or specially Sn is co‐deposited in the polymer film. The effects of various parameters such as the thickness of polymer film, concentration of methanol, medium temperature as well as the long term stability of modified electrodes have also been investigated.     

Composite electrodes consisting Pt nano-particles and poly (aminophenols) film on pre-treated aluminum substrate as electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation

Electrochemically platinum plated aluminum (Al/Pt) was used as an electrode substrate for the electropolymerization of aminophenols and fabrication of composite electrodes based on platinum nano-particles. The poly(o-aminophenol) (PoAP), poly(m-aminophenol) (PmAP), and poly(p-aminophenol) (PpAP) were synthesized on the Al/Pt electrode, and further modification was performed by deposition of platinum nano-particles onto polymer matrixes. The electrochemical and morphological characteristic of the composed electrodes were carried out by cyclic voltammetry and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on the composite electrodes was studied by cyclic voltammetry in 0.1 M sulfuric acid as supporting electrolyte. It was found that the Al/Pt/PoAP electrode incorporated Pt nano-particles (Al/Pt/PoAP/Pt) exhibits a higher electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of methanol than the Al/Pt/PmAP/Pt and Al/Pt/PpAP/Pt electrodes. On the other hand, a higher catalytic current for methanol oxidation was found on the Al/Pt/PoAP/Pt electrode in comparison to bulk Pt and Al–Pt (Al with 0.2 mg cm⁻² of Pt particles) electrodes. The effects of various parameters such as thickness of the polymer film, concentration of the monomer, Pt loading method and the Pt amounts, concentration of the methanol, and the medium temperature were studied on the electrooxidation of methanol. The long-term stability of the modified electrode has also been investigated.     

Electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid on platinum particles dispersed in SWNT/PANI composite film

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/Polyaniline (PANI) composite film with good dispersion was prepared by electropolymerization of aniline containing well-dissolved SWNTs. Platinum (Pt) particles were electrodeposited on the SWNT/PANI composite film subsequently. The presence of SWNTs and platinum in the composite film was confirmed by XRD analysis. Four-point probe investigation exhibits that the electrical conductivity of SWNT/PANI composite film is significantly higher than that of pure PANI film. Cyclic voltammogram and Chronoamperogram show that Pt-modified SWNT/PANI electrode performs higher electrocatalytic activity than Pt-modified pure PANI electrode toward formic acid oxidation.     

Platinum-modified polyaniline/polysulfone composite film electrodes and their electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation

The polyaniline/polysulfone (PAN/PSF) composite films were prepared by electropolymerization, and then platinum was deposited into this composite film to obtain the platinum-modified polyaniline/polysulfone(Pt/PAN/PSF) composite film electrodes. Their component, morphology and structure were characterized by FTIR spectra, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results show that the composite film has a bi-layer structure with asymmetrical pores, and the platinum particles are homogeneously dispersed in the modified film electrodes. The cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques were applied to investigate the electrochemical properties and the electrocatalytic activity of the modified film electrodes, which show a promotive action for methanol oxidation and the methanol oxidation under a diffusion-controlled process.

Effect of the iridium oxide thin film on the electrochemical activity of platinum nanoparticles

The influence of the iridium oxide thin film on the electrocatalytic properties of platinum nanoparticles was investigated using the electro-oxidation of methanol and CO as a probe. The presence of the IrO(2) thin film leads to the homogeneous dispersion of Pt nanoparticles. For comparison, polycrystalline platinum and Pt nanoparticles dispersed on a Ti substrate in the absence of an IrO(2) layer (Ti/Pt) were also investigated in this study. Inverted and enhanced CO bipolar peaks were observed using an in situ electrochemical Fourier transform infrared technique during the methanol oxidation on the Pt nanoparticles dispersed on a Ti substrate. Electrochemical impedance studies showed that the charge transfer resistance was significantly lower for the Ti/IrO(2)/Pt electrode compared with that of the massive Pt and Ti/Pt nanoparticles. The presence of the IrO(2) thin film not only greatly increases the active surface area but also promotes CO oxidation at a much lower electrode potential, thus, significantly enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles toward methanol electro-oxidation.     

Preparation and characterization of composite polyaniline materials for catalytic purposes

Composite film electrodes were prepared by open-circuit Pt deposition on polymeric PANI films that were electrosynthesized from aniline acid solutions with suspended carbon particles (CPs).

Pt particles were dispersed on films grown on Ni-based substrates by deposition from a Pt(IV) acid solution at open circuit (OC). CNT trapped into the PANI films have a favorable influence on Pt dispersion. The novel composite electrodes showed significant catalytic activity for methanol oxidation.

Ultrathin-Polyaniline-Coated Pt–Ni Alloy Nanooctahedra for the Electrochemical Methanol Oxidation Reaction

Controlling the morphology and composition of nanocatalysts constructed from metals and conductive polymers has attracted attention owing to their great potential for the development of high-efficiency catalysts for various catalytic applications. Herein, a facile synthetic approach for ultrathin-polyaniline-coated Pt–Ni nanooctahedra (Pt-Ni@PANI hybrids) with controllable PANI shell thicknesses is presented. Pt–Ni nanooctahedra/C catalysts enclosed by PANI shells with thicknesses from 0.6 to 2.4 nm were obtained by fine control over the amount of aniline. The various Pt-Ni@PANI hybrids exhibited electrocatalytic activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction that is highly dependent on the thickness of the PANI shell. Pt-Ni@PANI hybrids with the thinnest PANI shells (0.6 nm) showed markedly improved electrocatalytic performance for the methanol oxidation reaction compared with Pt-Ni@PANI hybrids with thicker PANI shells, Pt–Ni nanooctahedra/C, and commercial Pt/C due to synergistic benefits of ultrathin PANI shells and Pt–Ni alloy.     

Controllable deposition of a platinum nanoparticle ensemble on a polyaniline/graphene hybrid as a novel electrode material for electrochemical sensing

We demonstrate for the first time an interfacial polymerization method for the synthesis of high-quality polyaniline-modified graphene nanosheets (PANI/GNs), which represents a novel type of graphene/polymer heterostructure. The interfacial polymerization at a liquid-liquid interface allows PANI to grow uniformly on the surface of the GNs. An ultra-high loading of Pt nanoparticles was then controllably deposited on the surface of the PANI/GNs to form a Pt/PANI/GNs hybrid. The obtained composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The Pt/PANI/GNs hybrid shows excellent electrocatalytic activity toward methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction. H(2)O(2) and glucose were used as two representative analytes to demonstrate the sensing performance of a Pt/PANI/GNs-modified electrode. It is found that this sensing element shows high sensitivity and a low detection limit for H(2)O(2) and glucose. The results demonstrate that the Pt/PANI/GNs hybrid may be an attractive and advanced electrode material with potential applications in the construction of electrochemical sensors and biosensors.

Nanocomposite of Platinum Particles Embedded into Nanosheets of Polycarbazole for Methanol Oxidation

Nanoparticles of Pt were successfully electrodeposited onto polycarbazole (PCz) film on a stainless steel (SS‐PCz‐Pt) by chronocoulometry (0.2 C). For comparative purposes, Pt particles were deposited into stainless steel (SS‐Pt) under the same condition. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) results confirmed PCz exists in the SS‐PCz‐Pt composite electrode. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicated that PCz of SS‐PCz can interact easily with Pt particles. The crystalline behavior and morphology of SS‐PCz‐Pt and SS‐Pt were determined by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The TEM results indicated that Pt particles disperse more uniformly into the nanosheets of polycarbazole than those of SS film. Catalytic activity and stability for the oxidation of methanol were studied by using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. A high catalytic current for methanol oxidation (8.04 mA cm^?2 mg^?1) was found for the SS‐PCz‐Pt electrode in comparison to SS‐Pt electrode (5.01 mA cm^?2 mg^?1) at about 0.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl).
