Electrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde on novel composite of nickel/triton-x100/poly(o-aminophenol-co-aniline)
Oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) is very important, owing to its use in fuel cells. Modification of electrodes surfaces is an excellent way to decrease the overpotentials as well as to increase the current density of the voltammetric response.pt as most efficient metal catalyst can easily be poisoned by product of oxidation and also it has high cost. In this work an efficient and low cost elect...
متن کاملLigand Protected Gold Alloy Clusters as Superatoms
Density functional study of the experimentally observed ligand-protected gold alloy clusters reveal the same stabilization mechanism as in ligand protected pure AuN: the delocalized s-electron subsystem of a high symmetry metal core exhibits a shell closing. On the basis of this observation it is predicted that the substitution of a single Au atom in the well-known Au25(SR)18 compound with Pd, ...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde onto Pt nanoparticles modified poly (m-toluidine)/Triton X-100 film
In this work, spherical Pt nanometer-scale particles supported on the poly (m-toluidine)/Triton X-100 film modified carbon nanotube paste electrode (Pt/PMT (TX-100)/MCNTPE) was used as a potent catalyst for electrooxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) in both 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.1 M NaOH solutions. The obtained results showed that utilization of TX-100 as an additive during the electropolymerization p...
متن کاملQuantum size effects in ambient CO oxidation catalysed by ligand-protected gold clusters.
Finely dispersed nanometre-scale gold particles are known to catalyse several oxidation reactions in aerobic, ambient conditions. The catalytic activity has been explained by various complementary mechanisms, including support effects, particle-size-dependent metal-insulator transition, charging effects, frontier orbital interactions and geometric fluxionality. We show, by considering a series ...
متن کاملShape-dependent electrocatalytic activity of monodispersed gold nanocrystals toward glucose oxidation.
We systematically explore the shape-dependent catalytic activities of Au nanocrystals toward glucose oxidation in alkaline electrolytes, which is strongly dependent on the shape of the Au nanocrystals. The {100}-bounded cubic Au nanocrystals are significantly more active than the {110}-bounded rhombic dodecahedral and {111}-bounded octahedral Au nanocrystals.
