Pd Nanostructures with High Tolerance to CO Poisoning in the Formic Acid Electrooxidation Reaction

Pd architectures such as nanobars and nanoparticles were synthetized by the polyol method using di-ethylene glycol as reaction media. The morphology, composition and electrocatalytic properties were investigated by transmission electronmicroscopy (TEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical measurements. The electrocatalytic activity of Pd nanostructures was tested in terms of formic acid electrooxidation reaction (FAOR) in acid media (0.5 M H₂SO₄) and compared with commercial Pd/XC-72 (Pd/C). Results from the electrochemical studies showed that Pdnanobars (PdNB/C) presented higher tolerance to the CO and CO₂ poisoning effect compared with Pd nanoparticles (PdNP/C) and commercial Pd/C. Furthermore, the onset potential toward formic acid electrooxidation at high concentration (1 M) on PdNB/C exhibited a negative shift ca. 100 mV compared with commercial Pd/C. Finally, PdNB/C in the presence of 1 M FA showed a lower poisoning degree compared with commercial Pd/C and PdNP/C.     

Synthesis of Pt and Pt-Fe nanoparticles supported on MWCNTs used as electrocatalysts in the methanol oxidation reaction

This work reports a feasible synthesis of highly-dispersed Pt and Pt-Fe nanoparticles supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) without Fe and multiwall carbon nanotubes with iron (MWCNTs-Fe) which applied as electrocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation. A Pt coordination complex salt was synthesized in an aqueous solution and it was used as precursor to prepare Pt/MWCNTs, Pt/MWCNTs-Fe, and Pt-Fe/MWCNTs using FeCl₂·4NH₂O as iron source which were named S1, S2 and S3, respectively. The coordination complex of platinum (TOA)₂PtCl₆ was obtained by the chemical reaction between (NH₄)₂PtCl₆ with tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB) and it was characterized by FT-IR and TGA. The materials were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, SEM, EDS, XRD, TEM and TGA. The electrocatalytic activity of Pt-based supported on MWCNTs in the methanol oxidation was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA). Pt-Fe/MWCNTs electrocatalysts showed the highest electrocatalytic activity and stability among the tested electrocatalysts due to that the addition of ”Fe” promotes the OH species adsorption on the electrocatalyst surface at low potentials, thus, enhancing the activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR).

Importance of Electrode Surface and Addition of OH− Ions in Oxidation of Orthophthalaldehyde and Some Benzaldehydes in Alkaline Solutions

Abstract

Formation of a pre‐monolayer of a slightly soluble metal hydroxo complexes on electrode surface facilitates the electrooxidation. This factor, together with establishment of equilibria between the aldehyde and a geminal diol anion (which is the electroactive form) play important roles in electrooxidation of aromatic aldehydes. Better understanding of chemical and electrochemical processes involved, enables application of electroanalytical methods for investigation of reactions of orthophthalaldehyde—an important analytical reagent—in alkaline solution.
