报导了一种由酞菁氧钛、铂金属纳米簇和氮杂化碳纳米角结构基元组装而成的新型纳米复合电化学催化剂(TiOPc-Pt/NSWCNH)的制备、表征及电催化性能. 在TiOPc-Pt/NSWCNH催化剂中, 氮杂化碳纳米角堆积形成多孔导电网络, 铂纳粒子均匀地分散于上述多孔导电网络中, 部分铂纳粒子与TiOPc微晶直接接触. 在甲醇存在的条件下, TiOPc-Pt/NSWCNH对氧还原反应表现出高催化活性和优良的选择性与稳定性. 在甲醇浓度为0.5 mol·L^-1的高氯酸水溶液中, TiOPc-Pt/NSWCNH催化氧还原反应的起始电位比商购Pt/C-JM催化剂提高了260 mV, 其质量活性和比活性(0.85 V (参比电极为可逆氢电极(RHE)))分别为83.5 A·g^-1和0.294 mA·cm^-2, 远高于Pt/C-JM催化剂. 在含氧气氛下, 于甲醇高氯酸水溶液中, 对TiOPc-Pt/NSWCNH和TiOPc-Pt/C催化剂进行了循环伏安法加速老化实验研究(0.6-1.0 V, 15000个循环), 结果表明TiOPc-Pt/NSWCNH具有更高的稳定性. TiOPc-Pt/NCNH催化剂的高耐醇性可能得益于由TiOPc微晶向Pt纳米粒子的电子转移, 其高稳定性主要得益于氮杂化碳纳米角的高石墨化程度及纳米角堆积而成网络结构.

Intriguing Chloride: Involvement of Chloride Ions in Proton Transfers

The proton transfer from carbon to a chloride ion and the proton transfer to a molecule of water promoted by chloride ions in the acid-catalyzed formation of hydroxamic acids from aldehydes and substituted nitrosobenzenes in mixed solvents have been proposed based on experimental and theoretical investigations. The formation of uncommon contact ion pairs consisting of the nitrosocarbinolic cation intermediate and a chloride anion, followed by the proton transfer from a C-H moiety of the cation intermediate, has been proposed. The influence of chloride on the proton transfer to a water molecule of the solvent-separated nitrosocarbinolic-cation–chloride ion pair was investigated too. The insights are based on the obtained kinetic and other evidence with regard to (1) influences of chloride anions on the observed reaction rates and primary kinetic isotope effects (PKIE) in the reaction; (2) the observed variation of the PKIE-s and rates of the reaction when perchlorate anions are present along with the chloride ions; and (3) the consideration of a model of the nitrosocarbinolic-cation-intermediate—chloride ion pair and transition structure for the proposed proton transfers based on the ab initio calculations.

An Aurivillius Oxide Based Cathode with Excellent CO2 Tolerance for Intermediate‐Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

The Aurivillius oxide Bi₂Sr₂Nb₂MnO_12?δ (BSNM) was used as a cobalt‐free cathode for intermediate‐temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT‐SOFCs). To the best of our knowledge, the BSNM oxide is the only alkaline‐earth‐containing cathode material with complete CO₂ tolerance that has been reported thus far. BSNM not only shows favorable activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at intermediate temperatures but also exhibits a low thermal expansion coefficient, excellent structural stability, and good chemical compatibility with the electrolyte. These features highlight the potential of the new BSNM material as a highly promising cathode material for IT‐SOFCs.

Structural and Electronic Effects of Carbon‐Supported PtxPd1−x Nanoparticles on the Electrocatalytic Activity of the Oxygen‐Reduction Reaction and on Methanol Tolerance

We report a systematic investigation on the structural and electronic effects of carbon‐supported Pt_xPd_1?x bimetallic nanoparticles on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in acid electrolyte. Pt_xPd_1?x/C nanocatalysts with various Pt/Pd atomic ratios (x=0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) were synthesized by using a borohydride‐reduction method. Rotating‐disk electrode measurements revealed that the Pt₃Pd₁/C nanocatalyst has a synergistic effect on the ORR, showing 50 % enhancement, and an antagonistic effect on the MOR, showing 90 % reduction, relative to JM 20 Pt/C on a mass basis. The extent of alloying and Pt d‐band vacancies of the Pt_xPd_1?x/C nanocatalysts were explored by extended X‐ray absorption fine‐structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure spectroscopy (XANES). The structure–activity relationship indicates that ORR activity and methanol tolerance of the nanocatalysts strongly depend on their extent of alloying and d‐band vacancies. The optimal composition for enhanced ORR activity is Pt₃Pd₁/C, with high extent of alloying and low Pt d‐band vacancies, owing to favorable O? O scission and inhibited formation of oxygenated intermediates. MOR activity also shows structure dependence. For example, Pt₁Pd₃/C with Pt_rich?corePd_rich?shell structure possesses lower MOR activity than the Pt₃Pd₁/C nanocatalyst with random alloy structure. Herein, extent of alloying and d‐band vacancies reveal new insights into the synergistic and antagonistic effects of the Pt_xPd_1?x/C nanocatalysts on surface reactivity.

Electrocapillary Curves of Chloride Ions in Water-Hydrogen Flouride Mixtures

Abstract

We have determined the electrocapillary curves of the mercury electrode with a mixture of hydrogen fluoride and water contaning 40% (by weight) of HF, using the mercury electrode drop time formation technique. The addition of KCl at concentrations from 0.01 to 0.5 M provokes a displacement of the electrocapillary curves showing a possible specific adsorption of HCl at the electrode.     

Activity Coefficients of Potassium Chloride and Sodium Chloride in the Quaternary System KCl-NaCl-Water-Ethanol

Activity coefficients of KCl and NaCl were determined in the quaternary system KCl-NaCl-water-ethanol, for 10 and 20% (w/w) ethanol in the solvent, from experimental electromotive force data. The molalities varied from 0.1 mol kg^–1 to near saturation and measurements were taken in the temperature range 20 to 50°C. The Pitzer-Simonson equations were used to describe the nonideal behavior of both electrolytes and the corresponding activity coefficients were determined for each solvent and temperature.

Performance evaluation of nickel as anode catalyst for DMFC in acidic and alkaline medium

Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) research is highly focused due to its high energy density, portability and inexpensive. In the present study conventional platinum catalyst used for methanol oxidation is being replaced with nickel catalyst supported over nickel mesh. The electrode is synthesized by single step electro deposition technique. Synthesized electrode was characterized by SEM, EDAX and AFM techniques to know the surface morphology, composition and thickness of the catalyst respectively. The electro catalytic behavior of the nickel for methanol oxidation was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry technique. As the DMFC is compatible with both the acidic and alkaline electrolytes the working of the nickel mesh electrode is analyzed in both media. The results showed maximum current density of 0.025 and 0.030 A/cm² in alkaline and acidic medium respectively with less potential around 0.4 and 0.2 V. The other parameters such as varying the concentration of methanol, electrolyte medium, scan rate and thickness of the catalytic layer were analyzed and optimized.     

Polymer-Assisted Electrophoretic Synthesis of N-Doped Graphene-Polypyrrole Demonstrating Oxygen Reduction with Excellent Methanol Crossover Impact and Durability

The design and synthesis of metal-free catalysts with superior electrocatalytic activity, high durability, low cost, and under mild conditions is extremely desirable but remains challenging. To address this problem, a polymer-assisted electrochemical exfoliation technique of graphite in the presence of an aqueous acidic medium is reported. This simple, cost-effective, and mass-scale production approach could open the possibility for the synthesis of high-quality nitrogen-doped graphene–polypyrrole (NG-PPy). The NG-PPy catalyst displays an improved half wave potential (E_1/2=0.77 V) in alkaline medium compared with G-PPy (E_1/2=0.66 V). Most importantly, this catalyst demonstrates excellent stability with high methanol tolerance, and it outperforms the commercial Pt/C catalyst and other previously reported metal-free catalysts. The content of graphitic nitrogen atoms is the key factor for the enhancement of electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Interestingly, the NG-PPy catalyst can be used as a cathode material in a zinc–air battery, which demonstrates a higher peak power density (59 mW cm⁻²) than G-PPy (36.6 mW cm⁻²), highlighting the importance of the low-cost material synthesis approach towards the development of metal-free efficient ORR catalysts for fuel cell and metal–air battery applications. Remarkably, the polymer-assisted electrophoretic exfoliation of graphite with a high yield (≈88 wt %) of few-layer graphene flakes could pave the way towards the mass production of high-quality graphene for a variety of applications.

Towards Mixed Fuels: The Electrochemistry of Hydrazine in the Presence of Methanol and Formic Acid

The electrochemistry of formic acid, carbon monoxide and methanol have been investigated and evaluated in combination with hydrazine. Hydrazine was observed to display the anticipated steady‐state oxidation waves at platinum (Pt) microelectrodes by cyclic voltammetry, and upon introduction of carbon monoxide (CO) gas, the Pt surface was fully passivated (prior to CO oxidation). However, the two individual responses of hydrazine and formic acid (HCOOH) are to be additive when combined in solution. No detrimental effects were observed upon the hydrazine voltammetry, even in the presence of excess formic acid, despite formic acid clearly displaying characteristic self‐poisoning tendencies (primarily due to the formation of CO) in its own voltammetry. Effects intermediate to those of CO and formic acid were observed when methanol was present. Currents were essentially additive at low methanol content, but hydrazine oxidation current decreased by about 40 % when an 100‐fold excess of methanol was present, corresponding to poisoning by methanol dehydrogenation intermediates. These results are discussed with relevance to mixed fuels for more flexible or powerful fuel cells, and the possible formation of a random microelectrode array (templated by strongly adsorbed poison) on the microelectrode surface.     

Coupled Dynamics of Anode and Cathode in Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

An external reference electrode was used to monitor individually the evolution of the anodic and cathodic potentials during the stationary as well as oscillatory operation of a Direct Formic Acid Fuel Cell (DFAFC) and a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC). Besides evidencing the large activation loss in both cells, we were able to observe how the oscillatory operation of such devices affects their cathodes. In fact, cathodic oscillations synchronized with the cell voltage dynamics were observed, hitherto never reported on fuel cells. We have addressed these phenomena taking into account two main coupling processes: through the proton concentration and a global coupling stemming from the control mode (potentiostatic or galvanostatic).
