The temperature dependence of hydrogen and anion adsorption at a Pt( 100) electrode in aqueous H2SO4 solution

Research on the underpotential deposition of H (upd H) and anion adsorption on Pt( 100) in 0.5 M aqueous H₂SO₄ solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV) indicates that the overall adsorption/desorption charge density is affected strongly by variation of the temperature T, and that it decreases by about 1/3 when T is raised from 293 to 328 K. The sharp peak at 0.375 V vs. RHE assigned to the anion adsorption decreases its potential, current density and charge density. The CV feature assigned to the upd H, a wide shoulder overlapping the sharp peak, also decreases with T augmentation, but the decline of its charge density is less pronounced. The results indicate that the H_upd and anion surface coverages, θ_HAN and θ_AN respectively are strongly temperature-dependent. This behavior may be assigned to lateral repulsive interactions.     

A new catalytic system for the copolymerization of dicyclopentadiene with CO: PdCl2/phen/M(CF3SO3)n

A new three-component catalytic system, PdCl₂/phen/M(CF₃SO₃)_n, was studied in the copolymerization of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) with CO. It was found that the PdCl₂/phen/CF₃SO₃H catalytic system gave a very low catalytic activity, and the PdCl₂/phen/M(CF₃SO₃)_n catalytic system exhibited high activity when M(CF₃SO₃)_n was introduced instead of CF₃SO₃H. The resultant cooligomer was analyzed using various techniques such as FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, DSC and TGA. The results indicated that the copolymer was a polyspiroketal (PS) of CO and DCPD. Due to the tension of the ring of DCPD, the degree of copolymerization is low and the degree of crystallinity is also not high. The effects of ligands, M(CF₃SO₃)_n, solvents, 1,4-benzoquinone/PdCl₂ molar ratio, and temperatures on the copolymerization have been discussed in detail. The results showed that this novel catalytic system exhibited highly efficient activity, especially when 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) was used as ligand and Cu(CF₃SO₃)₂ was used as cocatalyst. The corresponding reaction rate was 49 000 g PS/molPd h when the reaction was carried out at 60 °C and 3.0 MPa of CO. The weight average molecular weight (M_w) and the number average molecular weight (M_n) of the resultant cooligomer were 1180 g/mol and 564 g/mol, respectively.     

CO electrooxidation on a polycrystalline Pt electrode: A wall-jet EQCN study

Pre-adsorbed and bulk (continuous) CO oxidation on a polycrystalline Pt electrode were examined in a wall-jet electrochemical quartz crystal nanobalance (EQCN) setup, using both differential and integral evaluation of the EQCN data, to get further insights into the kinetics and mechanism of this important fuel-cell related electrocatalytic reaction. The hydrogen underpotential adsorption–desorption features in the base cyclic voltammogram of a Pt film are accompanied by significant changes in the electrode mass due H-upd induced desorption–adsorption of anion. In the double-layer region small capacitive currents are accompanied by comparatively large reversible mass changes indicating anion adsorption/desorption (96.5 g mol⁻¹ assigned to bisulfate). OH and oxygen electrosorption from water at potentials more positive of 1.0 V result in relatively small variations in the electrode mass (16 g mol⁻¹ for PtOH and ca. 9 g mol⁻¹ for PtO formation, respectively). The CO-adlayer stripping first leads to the electrode mass decrease in the “pre-peak” region, followed by a fast mass increase within the main stripping peak due to re-adsorption of bisulfate anion (91 g mol⁻¹). A mass-transport limited current for bulk CO oxidation under continuous flow of CO-saturated electrolyte leads to negligible mass changes (0–1 g mol⁻¹) in the PtO region, suggesting that bulk CO oxidation is mediated by electroformed PtO.

Computational Study on Interactions between CO2 and (TiO2)n Clusters at Specific Sites

The energetic pathways of adsorption and activation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) on low-lying compact (TiO₂)_n clusters are systematically investigated by using electronic structure calculations based on density-functional theory (DFT). Our calculated results show that CO₂ is adsorbed preferably on the bridge O atom of the clusters, forming a "chemisorption" carbonate complex, while the CO is adsorbed preferably to the Ti atom of terminal Ti-O. The computed carbonate vibrational frequency values are in good agreement with the results obtained experimentally, which suggests that CO₂ in the complex is distorted slightly from its undeviating linear configuration. In addition, the analyses of electronic parameters, electronic density, ionization potential, HOMO-LUMO gap, and density of states (DOS) confirm the charge transfer and interaction between CO₂ and the cluster. From the predicted energy profiles, CO₂ can be easily adsorbed and activated, while the activation of CO₂ on (TiO₂)_n clusters are structure-dependent and energetically more favorable than that on the bulk TiO₂. Overall, this study critically highlights how the small (TiO₂)_n clusters can influence the CO₂ adsorption and activation which are the critical steps for CO₂ reduction the surface of a catalyst and subsequent conversion into industrially relevant chemicals and fuels.     

Simultaneous determination of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in food samples using a carbon composite electrode modified with Cu3(PO4)2 immobilized in polyester resin

A simple electrochemical method was developed for the single and simultaneous determination of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in food samples using square-wave voltammetry (SWV). A carbon composite electrode modified (MCCE) with copper (II) phosphate immobilized in a polyester resin was proposed. The modified electrode allowed the detection of BHA and BHT at potentials lower than those observed at unmodified electrodes. A separation of about 430 mV between the peak oxidation potentials of BHA and BHT in binary mixtures was obtained. The calibration curves for the simultaneous determination of BHA and BHT demonstrated an excellent linear response in the range from 3.4 × 10⁻⁷ to 4.1 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ for both compounds. The detection limits for the simultaneous determination of BHA and BHT were 7.2 × 10⁻⁸ and 9.3 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹, respectively. In addition, the stability and repeatability of the electrode were determined. The proposed method was successfully applied in the simultaneous determination of BHA and BHT in several food samples, and the results obtained were found to be similar to those obtained using the high performance liquid chromatography method with agreement at 95% confidence level.     

Pt/MOx(M=Ni,Fe,Co,Ce)催化剂上CO氧化反应中抗H2O与CO2的性能研究

我们研究了4种负载型Pt催化剂（1Pt/NiO、1Pt/FeO_x、1Pt/Co₃O₄和Pt/CeO₂）上不同反应条件下CO氧化活性及抗H₂O和CO₂性能.发现反应气氛中CO₂的加入与CO形成了竞争吸附,并在催化剂表面形成了碳酸盐物种堵塞了活性位,从而导致催化剂失活.反应气氛中H₂O的加入对1Pt/CeO₂催化剂的活性有所抑制,但对1Pt/FeO_x、1Pt/NiO和1Pt/Co₃O₄催化剂的活性却有促进作用.在1Pt/FeO_x和1Pt/CeO₂催化剂上的分步反应实验和动力学研究表明,尽管H₂O的加入在两种催化剂上均与CO形成了竞争吸附,但在1Pt/FeO_x催化剂上H₂O在载体表面解离形成的羟基更易与CO反应,开辟了新的反应途径,从而提高了反应性能.此外,H₂O的加入能有效分解该催化剂上的碳酸盐物种,从而保持了其稳定性.

噻吩在M(111)(M=Pd,Pt,Au)表面的吸附(英文)

采用密度泛函理论(DFT),选取DMol3程序模块,对噻吩在M(111)(M=Pd,Pt,Au)表面上的吸附行为进行了探讨.通过对噻吩在不同底物金属上的吸附能、吸附构型、Mulliken电荷布居、差分电荷密度以及态密度的分析发现,噻吩在Pd(111)面上的吸附能最大,Pt(111)面次之,Au(111)面最小.吸附后,噻吩在Au(111)面上的构型几乎保持不变,最终通过S端倾斜吸附于top位;噻吩在Pd(111)及Pt(111)面上发生了折叠与变形,环中氢原子向上翘起,最终通过环平面平行吸附于hollow位.此外,噻吩环吸附后芳香性遭到了破坏,环中碳原子发生sp3杂化,同时电子逐渐由噻吩向M(111)面发生转移,M(111)面上的部分电子也反馈给了噻吩环中的空轨道,这种协同作用最终导致了噻吩分子稳定吸附于M(111)面.     

Oxide formation in the oxygen evolution region at Pt electrodes in M H2SO4

Oxide growth at Pt electrodes in M H₂SO₄ has been measured at potentials up to 2.2 V in the oxygen evolution region. The previously described model, in which nucleation is rate determining, remains applicable. There is no evidence for any change of oxide property or for partial arrests in the Q-E curve, throughout this range. The effects of potential and film thickness on the oxygen evolution reaction may be completely separated. This implies a dual site model for the two anodic reactions.

Selective electronalysis of peracetic acid in the presence of a large excess of H2O2 at Au(1 1 1)-like gold electrode

Peracetic acid (PAA) has been selectively electroanalyzed in the presence of a large excess of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), about 500 fold that of PAA, using Au (1 1 1)-like gold electrode in acetate buffer solutions of pH 5.4. Au(1 1 1)-like gold electrode was prepared by a controlled reductive desorption of a previously assembled thiol, typically cysteine, monolayer onto the polycrystalline gold (poly-Au) electrode. Cysteine molecules were selectively removed from the Au(1 1 1) facets of the poly-Au electrode, keeping the other two facets (i.e., Au(1 1 0) and Au(1 0 0)) under the protection of the adsorbed cysteine. It has been found that Au(1 1 1)-like gold electrode positively shifts the reduction peak of PAA, while, fortunately, shifts the reduction peak of H₂O₂ negatively, achieving a large potential separation (around 750 mV) between the two reduction peaks as compared with that (around 450 mV) obtained at the poly-Au electrode. This large potential separation between the two reduction peaks enabled the analysis of PAA in the presence of a large excess of H₂O₂. In addition, the positive shift of the reduction peak of PAA gives the present method a high immunity against the interference of the dissolved oxygen.     

CO和H在Pt/WC(0001)表面的吸附

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)和周期平板模型,研究两种WC(0001)表面的几何结构和表面能,并对Pt原子单层(PtML)在两种WC(0001)表面的高对称性吸附位上的吸附能和分离功进行计算.结果发现,终止于W原子的WC(0001)为最稳定的WC(0001)表面,Pt原子单层以hcp位的方式吸附于W终止的WC(0001)表面是PtML/WC(0001)体系最稳定的几何构型.在此基础上研究了CO分子和H原子分别在PtML/WC(0001)表面和具有相似表面结构的Pt(111)表面的吸附行为.在0.25 ML(monolayer)低覆盖度下,与在Pt(111)表面相比,在PtML/WC(0001)表面上的Pt—C间距明显拉长和CO分子吸附能减少,说明PtML/WC(0001)表面抗CO中毒能力比Pt(111)表面高;态密度分析进一步解释了CO分子与不同表面Pt原子的成键机理.在同一覆盖度下,H原子在PtML/WC(0001)表面的最大吸附能等于甚至略高于在Pt(111)表面的,表明Pt/WC对氢气氧化反应具有良好的催化活性,是一种很有前途的质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)阳极催化剂.     

Fast microwave promoted palladium-catalyzed synthesis of phthalides from bromobenzyl alcohols utilizing DMF and Mo(CO)6 as carbon monoxide sources
