Abstract: | Adsorption of SO(2) in the presence of O(2) on Pt/C catalysts often used as electrocatalysts has been investigated by temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The amounts of SO(2) adsorption on Pt/C in the presence of O(2) were much higher than those in the absence of O(2) (SO(2)-N(2)) and from the carbon support (Vulcan XC-72) alone. Adsorption is dependent on oxygen concentration over the range 0-20% but reaches saturation at 20% O(2). The spillover of SO(2) from Pt to the carbon support has been proposed for 10, 20, and 40% Pt loadings, characterized by desorption temperatures of approximately 150 and 260 °C for SO(2) adsorbed on Pt and carbon, respectively. Adsorbed Pt-S, C-S, C-SO(x), and Pt-SO(4) species were identified by XPS as S-containing species on both Pt and carbon. Both TPD and XPS indicate that the carbon support plays a major role in SO(2) adsorption, primarily as SO(x) (x = 3, 4). The bonding of S and SO(x) on the carbon support was strong enough that back diffusion to the Pt surface did not occur. |
