Platinum-coated gold nanoporous film surface: electrodeposition and enhanced electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation

This report describes the preparation of Pt-nanoparticle-coated gold-nanoporous film (PGNF) on a gold substrate via a simple "green" approach. The gold electrode that has been anodized under a high potential of 5 V is reduced by freshly prepared ascorbic acid (AA) solution to obtain gold nanoporous film electrode. Then the Pt nanoparticle is grown on the electrode by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The resulting PGNF electrode has highly ordered arrangement and large surface area, as verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and CV, suggesting that the nanoporous gold film electrode provides a good matrix for obtaining PGNF with high surface area. Furthermore, the as-prepared PGNF electrode exhibited high electrocatalytic activity toward methanol oxidation in a 0.5 M H 2SO 4 solution containing 1.5 M methanol. The present novel strategy is expected to reduce the cost of the Pt catalyst remarkably.

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.

A sensor for methanol was fabricated by incorporating the antibiotic cefixime (CEF) along with Ni(II) ion into a chitosan membrane matrix. Sensing is based on the electrocatalytic effect that the complex membrane exerts on the electro-oxidation of methanol. The resulting CEF-Ni(II)/chitosan glassy carbon (GC) electrode had a good electrocatalytic activity to the electro-oxidation of methanol in alkaline medium. The modified electrode had an immense electrocatalytic activity on the second process of methanol oxidation (methanol oxidation intermediate(s) to the final product). The modified electrode had a wide linear range from 20 μM to 12 mM for the determination of methanol in alkaline medium, and a detection limit of 5.24 μM based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. In addition, the sensor exhibited good stability.
