چکیده

Este trabalho descreve um estudo detalhado da oxidação eletroquímica de etanol sobre eletrodos de Ti/(RuO2)(x)Pt(1-x) com várias composições, preparados pelo método de precursores poliméricos. Os resultados obtidos usando voltametria cíclica e cronoamperometria mostraram que a melhor composição dos eletrodos de Ti/(RuO2)(x)Pt(1-x) para os processos de oxidação do CO e do etanol é Ti/(RuO2)(0.5)Pt(0.5). Nessa composição, a oxidação do CO e do etanol ocorreram em 380 mV e 220 mV mais negativos do que em Ti/Pt, respectivamente. Por outro lado, observou-se um aumento de 2.5 vezes na densidade de corrente para a oxidação do etanol sob potencial constante. Análises de HPLC in situ mostraram que os eletrodos de Ti/(RuO2)(0.5)Pt(0.5) produziram baixas quantidades de ácido acético comparadas com aquelas quantidades geradas pelos eletrodos de Ti/ Pt ou Pt policristalina. Além disso, um produto que não é comum a partir da oxidação do etanol foi observado em eletrodos com maior teor de RuO2: o acetato de etila. Finalmente, os dados de impedância mostraram que os eletrodos com a composição Ti/(RuO2)(0.5)Pt(0.5) apresentaram menores resistências de transferência de carga, entre as composições investigadas.

Reaction pathways and mechanisms of the electrochemical degradation of phenol on different electrodes.

Laboratory experiments were carried out on the kinetics and pathways of the electrochemical (EC) degradation of phenol at three different types of anodes, Ti/SnO2-Sb, Ti/RuO2, and Pt. Although phenol was oxidised by all of the anodes at a current density of 20 mA/cm2 or a cell voltage of 4.6 V, there was a considerable difference between the three anode types in the effectiveness and performanc...
