AB  - Two types of Cu-modified Pd catalysts supported on high area carbon were prepared: Pd nanoparticles modified with a sub-monolayer of underpotentially deposited Cu (Cu@Pd/C) and Pd-Cu alloy nanoparticles (Pd-Cu/C), and examined for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline solution. The catalysts were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, as well as cyclic voltammetry. As reference catalysts, Pd/C and Pt/C were used. The electrochemically active surface area of all samples was determined from COads and Cuupd desorption and Pd oxide reduction, and used to assess their intrinsic activity for EOR. Intimate contact of Pd with Cu atoms enhanced its activity, regardless of the type of bimetal catalyst. The atomic Pd:Cu ratio between 2:1 and 4:1 appears to be optimal for high activity. The most active catalyst under the potentiodynamic conditions was Cu@Pd/C with θ(Cu) = 0.21,although Pd-Cu/C was superior during the potentiostatic test. All bimetallic catalysts surpassed Pd/C in mass activity. The EOR activity of Pt/C was higher compared to Pd-based catalysts at low potentials, both in terms of specific and mass activity, but with a significant decline over a 30-min potentiostatic stability test.

AB  - Thin films of Ni-oxy-hydroxides of different composition and thickness were electrochemically grown on Ni foil electrode: hydrated α-phase, anhydrous β-phase, and two mixed α- and β-phase electrodeposited by potential cycling. The characterization of bare Ni and the deposited films by cycling voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provided data of the initial electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), an amount of Ni-active oxide species, double-layer capacitance, ionic adsorption capacitance and the adsorption pseudocapacitance in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) potential range. Ni-oxy-hydroxide films were deposited with loading up to 18 monolayers or 25 nmol cm−2. The specific pseudocapacitance was calculated from a linear correlation of the capacitance and the film thickness. Steady-state polarization curves of OER were presented as specific activity obtained by normalization of the currents by ECSA derived from the maximum adsorption pseudocapacitance. Also, polarization curves were given as turnover frequency calculated from the amount of Ni-active oxide species derived from CV. Both method of evaluation of intrinsic activity of Ni-oxy-hydroxide films towards OER gave consistent results and can be used to compare the activity of similar Ni-oxide catalysts.

AB  - Hydrated iridiumoxyhydroxide (IrOx) films were electrochemically deposited from an alkaline oxalic solution at constant anodic potentials and by applying a potential cycling protocol, in both cases with variation of the electrodeposition time. FromUV-vis spetroscopy of the solution for the deposition and their characterization it was concluded that a mixture of Ir(III)/Ir(IV) monomers participates in the deposition of IrOx film. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of IrOx films indicated that both types of films contained hydrated Ir(IV) hydroxide as the dominant species, but in the film deposited by potential cycling the presence of the additional Ir(III) species was evident. The scanning electon microscopy (SEM) analysis of the surface morphology revealed that films deposited by potential cycling were more uniform than the films deposited at a constant potential. The amount of electrochemically active Ir-species on the surface of deposited IrOx films was estimated from the voltammetric charge of the Ir(III)/Ir(IV) transition. Depending on the film electrodeposition parameters, the values between 15 and 1080 nmol cm-2 were obtained. The electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of IrOx films was calculated from cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements and ranged from 3 to 131 cm(2) per 1 cm(2) of geometric surface area for various films. The activity and stability of IrOx films toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was investigated in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution under potentiostatic conditions. The intrinsic activity, stated as turnover frequency and specific current density normalized per ECSA, showed that the OER activity of IrOx films deposited by potential cycling are up to two and a half times higher than the activity of films deposited at a constant anodic potential. Potentiostatic stability test showed a decrease in OER current over time for both type of the films. Determination of ECSA, the amount of electroactive Ir species, XPS spectrum and SEM imaging after the test indicated that the decrease in OER activity was caused by partial dissolution and delamination of the film as well as by oxidation of highly active hydroxide Ir(III) species.

AB  - Formic acid is one of the most promising small organic molecules that can be used as fuel in polymer
electrolyte fuel cells. These systems are recognized as high-efficiency energy conversion devices which could
offer energy generated from electrochemical processes. At carbon supported platinum nanoparticles as state
of the art anodic catalysts formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) proceeds through a dual path mechanism
that includes the formation of CO in the indirect reaction pathway. Since CO is a catalytic poison, the best
way to address this problem is to synthesize catalysts that would either provide prompt CO oxidation and
removal, or favour the direct reaction pathway to completely avoid CO formation and electrode poisoning.
PtAu systems are considered as efficient catalysts for FAOR due to the ensemble effect of Au on Pt, however
the optimal ratio of these two elements is still quite vague. Given the experience with water in oil
microemulsion synthesis for preparation of shape controlled Pt nanoparticles,1 bimetallic PtAu/C
nanocatalysts were synthesized by the same procedure, following a simultaneous precursor reduction
methodology.2 The amount of the capping agent used, was varied in order to cause formation of
nanoparticles with different shape (cubic or tetrahedron like). Addition of a very low, but very finely dispersed
amount of Au significantly increases the catalytic activity, and also affects kinetic of the particle growth,
influencing the particle shape. Ordered structure of these particles contributes to their stability as well. These

AB  - Low loading PtAu nanoparticles supported on high area carbon were synthesized by water-in-oil microemulsion method and examined for formic acid and methanol oxidation. Prepared catalyst powder was characterized by Xray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These techniques revealed that the catalyst contains rather agglomerated quasi-spherical particles, similar to 4 nm diameter, composed of a solid solution of Pt and Au with only similar to 4 at% of Au. In spite of such low Au content, both onset and peak potentials for CO oxidation are shifted some 150 mV to more positive values in comparison to Pt synthesized in the same manner due to stronger binding of CO as a result of notable electronic effect. It is important that this small quantity of Au also significantly influences oxidation of formic acid promoting direct path and suppressing indirect path in formic acid oxidation in a degree as expected by a much larger quantity of Au. Such improvement could be due exclusively by ensemble effect of high number of small Pt domains which formation could be possible only by very fine dispersion of such low Au quantity. High number of small Pt domains is corroborated by lower activity for methanol oxidation in comparison to Pt catalyst synthesized by the same procedure. These results emphasize the importance of the Au dispersion on the surface of Pt over its quantity in PtAu catalyst with regards to both, the ensemble and the electronic effects.

AB  - The oxidation of pure H2 and H2/CO mixture (100 ppm CO) was investigated on Pt nanocatalyst supported on Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 (Pt /Ru0.7Ti0.3O2) by linear sweep voltammetry at a rotating disc electrode in 0.1 M HClO4. The results were compared with those on the commercial Pt/C catalyst. It was demonstrated that Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 electrode possesses good conductivity and stability of the supports in the electrochemical experiments. The onset potential of COads oxidation on Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 is lower than Pt/C indicating that the Pt nanoparticles are in close contact with Ru atoms from support, which enable bifunctional mechanism and electronic effects to be operable. The influence of the poisoning of Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 and Pt/C catalyst by COads on the HOR was examined at several surface coverages ranging from 0 to 0.6. The decrease in HOR current on COads poisoned surface in low over-potential region of 0.05-0.50 V is less pronounced on Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 than on Pt/C. This is ascribed to a weakening of the Pt-CO interaction and consequently higher mobility of COads on Pt particles contacting Ru from the Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 support.

Korišćene su metoda linearne voltametrije u rastvoru 0,1 M HClO4 i rotirajuća disk elektroda. Rezultati su upoređeni sa komercijalnim katalizatorom Pt/C. Za katalizator Pt/Ru0,7Ti0,3O2 je utvrđena dobra provodnost i stabilnost nosača u elektrohemijskim eksperimentima. Pokazano je da oksidacija adorbovanog CO na Pt/Ru0,7Ti0,3O2 počinje na negativnijim potencijalima nego na Pt/C. To ukazuje da su nanočestice Pt u bliskom kontaktu sa atomima Ru iz nosača, što omogućuje odigravanje bifunkcionalnog mehanizma i ispoljavanje elektronskog efekta. Uticaj trovanja katalizatora Pt/Ru0,7Ti0,3O2 i Pt/C adsorbovanim CO na oksidaciju H2 je ispitivan na nekoliko stepena pokrivenosti u opsegu od 0 do 0,6. Smanjenje struje oksidacije vodonika na površini delimično pokrivenoj adsorbovanim CO u oblasti malih prenapetosti 0,05-0,50 V je manje izraženo na Pt/Ru0,7Ti0,3O2 u odnosu na Pt/C.

AB  - In this research, a water-in-oil microemulsion method with HCl as a capping agent was applied to synthesize carbon supported Pt catalysts. Varying the concentration of HCl caused changes in the shape of obtained nanoparticles, i.e. preferential growth of certain facets. Addition of catalyst support in the synthesis process facilitated the cleaning procedures necessary to remove the surfactant residues. Prepared catalyst powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD analysis indicated the influence of HCl addition on the crystallite size and crystal habit. TEM revealed that addition of higher amounts of the capping agent led to the formation of a noticable amount of particles with concave cubic or branched-like structures. Influence of the catalyst particles shape on its electrochemical properties was tested in the oxidations of COads, ammonia and formic acid. The latter one was examined in terms of both activity and stability of as prepared and oxide-annealed (electrochemically treated) catalysts. The results clearly demonstrate that even small changes in the nanoparticle surface structure give rise to distinct modifications in their properties. Concave cubic particles, in comparison to other catalysts, show improved catalytic properties and the contribution of their preferentially oriented {100} facets is electrochemically detectable.

AB  - Pt nanoparticles supported on Vulcan XC-72R were synthesized by water-in-oil microemulsion method. By incorporating different amounts of HCl as a capping agent in the precursor-containing water phase, nanoparticle shape was varied. Influencing the growth of certain facets leads to the changes of the particle shape depending on the preferential facets. As a result, nanoparticles exhibit some of the electrochemical features typical for single crystals. Commonly employed synthesis procedure for water-in-oil microemulsion method was altered with the addition of catalyst support in the system and changing the catalyst cleaning steps. Prepared catalysts were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical methods. Activity and stability for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), a structure-sensitive reaction, were tested. Electrochemical results reveal the influence of particle size, shape and exposed facets on the electrochemical processes. TEM investigations confirm electrochemical findings, while TGA verifies Pt loading in catalyst powder. Based on the results, optimal HCl concentration for cubic particle formation is determined, and structural effect on MOR activity and stability was tested. Cuboidal NPs show very good reaction activity and fair stability under applied experimental conditions.

AB  - Pd-Ni/C catalyst was synthesized employing a borohydride reduction method. The high area Ni was first dispersed on the carbon support and then modified by Pd nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed relatively even distribution of Ni across the carbon support with discrete palladium particles of about 3.3 nm mean diameter on it. Cyclic voltammetry confirmed the presence of Ni on the catalyst surface. The activity of the Pd-Ni/C catalysts for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline solution was tested under the potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions and the results were compared to those obtained on the Pd/C catalyst. It was found that Pd-Ni/C is more active for the EOR compared to Pd/C by a factor up to 3, depending on the type of experiments and whether specific activity or mass activity are considered. During the potentiodynamic stability test an interesting phenomenon of activation of Pd-Ni/C catalyst was observed. It was found that maximum activity is attained after fifty cycles with the positive potential limit of 1.2 V, regardless of whether they were performed in the electrolyte with or without ethanol. It was postulated that potential cycling of the Pd-Ni surface causes reorganization of the catalyst surface bringing Pd and Ni sites to a more suitable arrangement for the efficient ethanol oxidation.

AB  - Electrocatalytic activity of platinum-based electrocatalysts used in fuel cells has been well recognized. However, significant attention remains on the particle shape and size control of such nanomaterials. Catalytic activity can be enhanced by alloying Pt with another element (e.g. Ru and Sn), or by supporting Pt on metal oxides, both of which involve a bifunctional effect. It is also possible to achieve better catalytic characteristics by exposing different Pt crystal facets, which alters chemical and electronic interactions (structural effect). In order to synthesize Pt nanoparticles of a pre-determined shape, water in oil microemulsion method was used, with a few modifications: carbon support (Vulcan XC-72R) was added into the microemulsion itself, just after the completion of the reduction reaction of H2PtCl6 with NaBH4 as the reducing agent and this was crucial for further improvements of the catalyst cleaning procedures. Microemulsion consisted of [n-heptane] / [polyethileneglycoldodecyether (BRIJ30)] / [0,1M H2PtCl6 in 0, 15, 25 and 35% HCl], so four Pt catalyst were formed using different amounts of HCl in the water phase of the microemulsion. In comparison to previously reported applications of the microemulsion method, where electrochemical treatment of catalysts before its application was necessary, this alteration of cleaning steps made use of the “as prepared” catalysts possible. Catalysts A (0% HCl), B (15% HCl), C (25% HCl) and D (35% HCl) were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), as well as with electrochemical characterization methods (cyclic voltammetry in supporting electrolyte, CO stripping). TEM images confirmed the presence of cubic Pt particles, and indicated their good dispersion on carbon support, while XRD patterns revealed the share of each plane orientation in all investigated catalysts. This acknowledged the influence of HCl in the microemulsion on the shape of Pt particles. Mean particle size was determined both by TEM and XRD investigations, which are in good accordance, and show that average diameters of these four catalysts vary from 3 to 8 nm.

AB  - Pt-based nanocatalysts supported on Vulcan XC-72R carbon, were prepared by water-in-oil microemulsion method, with addition of various amounts of HCl in the water phase. Polyethileneglycoldodecylether (BRIJ 30) was used as a surfactant, which influenced the Pt surface structure, along with HCl. Catalysts prepared with addition of 0, 15, 25 and 35 % of HCl during the synthesis, were electrochemically characterised in 0,5 M H2SO4 using cyclic voltammetry and CO oxidation. Formic acid electrooxidation was examined on all investigated catalysts, in terms of their electrocatalytic activity and stability. Platinum loading on carbon support was examined by Thermogravimetric analysis. Catalysts showed different features in hydrogen region, and slight differences in formic acid oxidation mechanisms.

AB  - Two binary Ru-Ti oxides, Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2, were synthesized by the sol-gel method and used as an electrocatalyst support. The system was characterized by XRD, EDS, TEM and cyclic voltammetry. The Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 consist of two phases of anatase and rutile structure. An average size of the Pt nanoparticles supported on them is similar to 3.5 nm and they are deposited on both Ru and Ti-rich domains. The supports exhibited good conductivity and electrochemical stability. The onset potentials of COads oxidation on the synthesized catalysts and on commercial PtRu/C are similar to each other and lower than that on Pt/C. This suggests that in Pt/Rum Ti0.9O2 and Pt/Ru0(.7)Ti(0.3)O(2) the Pt nanoparticles are in close contact with Ru atoms from the support, which enables the bifunctional mechanism. The activity and stability of the catalysts for methanol oxidation were examined under potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions. While the activity of Pt/Rum Ti0.9O2 is unsatisfactory, the performance of Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 is comparable to PtRu/C. For example, in the potentiostatic test at 0.5 V the activities after 25 min are 0.035 mA cm(-2) and 0.022 mA cm(-2) for Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 and PtRu/C, respectively. In potentiodynamic test the activities at 0.5V after 250 cycles are around 0.02 mA cm(-2) for both catalysts.

AB  - Pd black was modified by a very low amount of Pt corresponding to a sub-monolayer (ML). Spontaneous displacement method was employed. The catalysts with 0.02-0.12 ML were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and COads stripping and were tested for HCOOH oxidation under the potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions. All the Pt"Pd catalysts were more active for HCOOH oxidation than Pd black. The Pt"Pd with 0.08 ML of Pt exhibited the highest activity with the maximum current density under the potentiodynamic conditions of 8 mA cm(-2) (vs. 2.7 mA cm(-2) on Pd black). Contrasting HCOOH oxidation kinetics on Pt"Pd and Pt"Au catalysts revealed that the current densities are higher, and the poisoning rate is lower on Pt"Pd catalyst. This was ascribed to an optimal strength of the Pt-adsorbate bond when Pt is supported on Pd and to a possible influence of the Pt atoms on the Pd substrate.

AB  - Ru-doped SnO2 powder, (RuxSn1-x)O2, with a Sn:Ru atomic ratio of 9:1 was synthesized and used as a support for Pt nanoparticles (30 mass % loading). The (RuxSn1-x)O2 support and the Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction measurements, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The (RuxSn1-x)O2 was found to be a two-phase material consisting of probably a solid solution of RuO2 in SnO2 and pure RuO2. The average Pt particle size determined by TEM was 5.3 nm. Cyclic voltammetry of Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 indicated good conductivity of the support and displayed the usual features of Pt. The results of the electrochemical oxidation of COads and methanol on Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 were compared with those on commercial Pt/C and PtRu/C catalysts. Oxidation of COads on Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 starts at lower positive potentials than on PtRu/C and Pt/C. Potentiodynamic polarization curves and chronoamperometric curves of methanol oxidation indicated higher initial activity of the Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 catalyst compared to PtRu/C, but also a greater loss in current density over time. A potentiodynamic stability test of the catalysts revealed that deactivation of Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 and Pt/C was primarily caused by poisoning of the Pt surface by residues of methanol oxidation, which mostly occurred during the first potential cycle. In the case of PtRu/C, the poisoning of the surface was minor and deactivation was caused by surface area loss of the PtRu.
AB  - Sintetizovan je prah SnO2 dopovan rutenijumom, (RuxSn1-x)O2, sa atomskim odnosom Sn:Ru od 9:1, i korišćen kao nosač nanočestica platine. Udeo Pt u dobijenom katalizatoru, Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2, bio je 30 mas. %. Nosač i katalizator su karakterisani difrakcijom X-zraka, energetski disperzivnom spektroskopijom X-zraka i transmisionom elektronskom mikroskopijom (TEM). Pokazano je da je (RuxSn1-x)O2 dvofazni materijal koji verovatno sadrži čvrst rastvor RuO2 u SnO2 i čist RuO2. Prosečna veličina zrna Pt, određena TEM analizom, iznosi 5,3 nm. Ciklična voltametrija Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 ukazala je na dobru provodnost nosača katalizatora i na uobičajene karakteristike Pt. Upoređeni su rezultati elektrohemijske oksidacije COads na Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2, Pt/C i PtRu/C. Oksidacija COads na Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 počinje na negativnijim potencijalima u odnosu na PtRu/C i Pt/C. Potenciodinamičke polarizacione krive i hronoamperometrijske krive za oksidaciju metanola ukazuju na veću početnu aktivnost katalizatora Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 u odnosu na PtRu/C, ali i na veće smanjenje gustine struje tokom vremena. Test potenciodinamičke stabilnosti katalizatora je ukazao da je smanjenje aktivnosti Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 i Pt/C prvenstveno prouzrokovano trovanjem površine Pt proizvodima nepotpune oksidacije metanola, koje se uglavnom odigrava tokom prvog ciklusa. Kod PtRu/C trovanje površine je minimalno, a smanjenje aktivnosti je prouzrokovano smanjenjem elektrohemijski aktivne površine PtRu.

Cyclic voltammetry of Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 indicated good conductivity of the support and displayed the usual features of Pt. The results of the electrochemical oxidation of COads and methanol on Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 were compared with those on commercial Pt/C and PtRu/C catalysts. Oxidation of COads on Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 starts at lower positive potentials than on PtRu/C and Pt/C. Potentiodynamic polarization curves and chronoamperometric curves of methanol oxidation indicated higher initial activity of the Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 catalyst compared to PtRu/C, but also a greater loss in current density over time. A potentiodynamic stability test of the catalysts revealed that deactivation of Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 and Pt/C was primarily caused by poisoning of the Pt surface by residues of methanol oxidation, which mostly occurred during the first potential cycle. In the case of PtRu/C, the poisoning of the surface was minor and deactivation was caused by surface area loss of the PtRu., Sintetizovan je prah SnO2 dopovan rutenijumom, (RuxSn1-x)O2, sa atomskim odnosom Sn:Ru od 9:1, i korišćen kao nosač nanočestica platine. Udeo Pt u dobijenom katalizatoru, Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2, bio je 30 mas. %. Nosač i katalizator su karakterisani difrakcijom X-zraka, energetski disperzivnom spektroskopijom X-zraka i transmisionom elektronskom mikroskopijom (TEM). Pokazano je da je (RuxSn1-x)O2 dvofazni materijal koji verovatno sadrži čvrst rastvor RuO2 u SnO2 i čist RuO2. Prosečna veličina zrna Pt, određena TEM analizom, iznosi 5,3 nm. Ciklična voltametrija Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 ukazala je na dobru provodnost nosača katalizatora i na uobičajene karakteristike Pt. Upoređeni su rezultati elektrohemijske oksidacije COads na Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2, Pt/C i PtRu/C. Oksidacija COads na Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 počinje na negativnijim potencijalima u odnosu na PtRu/C i Pt/C. Potenciodinamičke polarizacione krive i hronoamperometrijske krive za oksidaciju metanola ukazuju na veću početnu aktivnost katalizatora Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 u odnosu na PtRu/C, ali i na veće smanjenje gustine struje tokom vremena. Test potenciodinamičke stabilnosti katalizatora je ukazao da je smanjenje aktivnosti Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O2 i Pt/C prvenstveno prouzrokovano trovanjem površine Pt proizvodima nepotpune oksidacije metanola, koje se uglavnom odigrava tokom prvog ciklusa. Kod PtRu/C trovanje površine je minimalno, a smanjenje aktivnosti je prouzrokovano smanjenjem elektrohemijski aktivne površine PtRu.",

AB  - Tungsten carbide was synthesized by calcination of carbon cryogel with embedded tungsten in a form of metatungstate. This material was used as a support for Pt nanoparticles. XRD pattern of W-C support indicated the presence of WC, W2C, and unreacted W, as well as graphitized carbon. According to previous TEM analysis of W-C support, it contains particles with core-shell structure, where the W particle was covered with the shell of a mixture of WC and W2C. The average Pt grain size calculated from XRD pattern was about 6 nm. A cyclic voltammogram of W-C support was recorded within the potential range relevant for its application as a catalyst support in fuel cells. The pair of anodic/cathodic peaks close to the negative potential limit could be ascribed to the intercalation of hydrogen within hydrous tungsten oxide, which is always present on the surface of WC in aqueous solutions. The cyclic voltammogram of Pt/W-C indicated that tungsten oxide species are present on tungsten carbide shell as well as on the surface of Pt nanoparticles. The Pt surface is only partially covered by hydrous tungsten oxide. Hydrogen intercalation in hydrous tungsten oxide is enhanced in the presence of Pt nanoparticles. Also, the presence of hydrated tungsten oxide leads to the decrease of OH chemisorbed on Pt surface. Stripping of underpotentially deposited copper was used for the assessment of Pt surface area and the specific surface area of Pt was estimated to be 41 m2 g-1. The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction was examined on the synthesized Pt/W-C catalyst and compared with the results on the commercial Pt/C catalyst. It was found that the current densities at Pt/W-C were almost twice as high as those on Pt/C. The Tafel plots for both catalysts are characterized with two Tafel slopes: -0.060 V dec-1 at low current densities, and -0.120 V dec-1 at high current densities. From the rotational dependence of the reaction rate, it was found that oxygen reduction on both Pt/W-C and Pt/C follows the first order kinetics with respect to O2 and that four electrons are transferred per O2 molecule. The results show that the presence of tungsten carbide in support material, i.e. hydrous tungsten oxide on Pt surface, leads to promotion of oxygen reduction on the Pt/W-C catalyst. It was assumed that oxophilic hydrated tungsten oxide hinders OH adsorption on Pt surface, thus increasing Pt surface area available for O2 adsorption and its electrochemical reduction.

AB  - The oxidation of HCOOH has been investigated on thin Pd layers ranging from 1 to 17 ML equivalents electrodeposited on polycrystalline Au substrate (Pd"Au). The results are compared to those on Pd black. Potentiodynamic polarization curves suggest that on both types of catalyst HCOOH oxidizes through dehydrogenation path. The high current densities achieved on 4-17 ML Pd"Au surpass more than three times the activity of Pd black. Chronoamperometric test reveals that the Pd"Au electrodes lose their activity faster than Pd black. In the stripping experiment performed after the chronoamperometry COads is detected on all the surfaces. On the 4 ML Pd"Au, which exhibits the highest deactivation rate, the COads coverage is the largest. After the chronoamperometric test repeated in the CO2 saturated supporting electrolyte, the anodic stripping shows that COads is present on all the electrodes, again with the highest coverage on 4 ML Pd"Au. It is concluded that deactivation of Pd surfaces is caused by the COads formed in the electrochemical reduction of CO2, which is the product of HCOOH oxidation. Electronic modification of Pd by Au substrate causes stronger interactions of Pd with HCOOH and CO, which increases HCOOH oxidation rate, but also accelerates the poisoning by COads.

AB  - The catalytic activity of WC/Pt electrocatalysts towards hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in acid solution was studied. Tungsten carbide (WC) prepared by polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde in the presence of ammonium metatungstate salt and CTABr surfactant was used as the support of a Pt electrocatalyst (WC/Pt). The obtained WC/Pt electrodes were characterized by XRD, HRTEM, EDS, EELS and electrochemical measurements. HRTEM analysis showed that the WC particles possess a core-shell structure with a metallic tungsten core and a shell composed of a mixture of tungsten carbides shell (WC and W2C). The WC/Pt catalyst is composed of well-dispersed sub-nanometer Pt clusters which consist of a few to several tens of Pt atoms. EELS measurements indicate that the WC particles function as nucleation sites for Pt nanoparticles. Based on the Tafel-Heyrovsky-Volmer mechanism the corresponding kinetic equations were derived to describe the HOR current-potential behavior over the entire potential region on RDE. The fitting showed that in the lower potential region HOR on Pt proceeds most likely via the Tafel-Volmer (TV) pathway. The kinetic results also showed that the WC/Pt(1%) when compared to the standard C/Pt(1%) electrode led to a remarkable enhancement of the hydrogen oxidation in an acidic medium, which was explained by H-spill-over between platinum and tungsten carbide.

AB  - Tungsten carbide was synthesized by calcination of carbon cryogel containing tungsten in a form of metatungstate. Characterization by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicated core-shell structure of the particles with tungsten core and tungsten carbide shell, attached to graphitized carbon. Pt nanoparticles were deposited on this material and most of them were nucleated on tungsten carbide. Cyclic voltammetry of W-C support and Pt/W-C catalyst indicated hydrogen intercalation in surface hydrous tungsten oxide. Oxidation of COads on Pt/W-C commences earlier than on Pt/C for about 100 mV. The onset potentials of MOR on Pt/W-C and Pt/C are the same, but at more positive potentials Pt/W-C catalyst is more active. It was proposed that promotion of MOR is based on bifunctional mechanism that facilitates COads removal. Stability test was performed by potential cycling of Pt/W-C and Pt/C in the supporting electrolyte and in the presence of methanol. Pt surface area loss observed in the supporting electrolyte of both catalysts after 250 cycles was about 20%. Decrease in the activity for methanol oxidation was 30% for Pt/W-C, but even 48% for Pt/C. The difference was explained by the presence of hydrous tungsten oxide on Pt in Pt/W-C catalyst, which reduces accumulation of poisoning COads.

AB  - Formic acid oxidation was studied on a new prepared Pt2Bi characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (phase composition), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) (surface morphology), and COads stripping voltammetry (surface composition). Bulk composition of Pt2Bi revealed two phases-55% PtBi alloy and 45% Pt. Estimated contribution of pure Pt on the Pt2Bi surface (43.5%) determined by COads stripping voltammetry corresponds closely to bulk composition. Pt2Bi reveals high activity and stability in formic acid oxidation. High activity originates from the fact that formic acid oxidation proceeds completely through dehydrogenation path based on an ensemble effect. The high stability of Pt2Bi surface is induced by the suppression of Bi leaching as it was evidenced by insignificant changes of surface morphology and surface roughness shown by STM images before and after electrochemical treatment in formic acid containing solution. Pt2Bi is found to be powerful catalyst exhibiting up to two orders of magnitude larger current densities at 0.0 V and onset potential shifted for similar to 0.2 V to more negative value relative to Pt under steady-state condition.

AB  - A detrimental effect of CO on the stability of Pt nanoparticles, which is important for fuel cells technology, is demonstrated by the change in HCOOH kinetics on Pt nanoparticles caused by the presence of CO in the electrolyte. Pt nanoparticles supported on high area carbon (Pt/C) were applied on gold and glassy carbon substrates (Pt/C"Au and Pt/C"GC) and three different kinds of Pt surface were prepared by potential cycling in the various potential limits in N-2 and CO saturated electrolyte: untreated, OH-annealed and CO-annealed. On untreated Pt/C"Au catalyst HCOOH is oxidized predominantly through indirect mechanism, after OH-annealing direct path is slightly accelerated, but on CO-annealed catalyst the direct path in HCOOH oxidation is predominant. Based on the fact that more contiguous Pt sites are necessary for indirect than for direct path, it was concluded that OH- and especially CO-annealing of Pt/C produces small Pt domains. Since the same pretreatment did not show any effect on HCOOH oxidation on Pt/C"GC electrode, it was postulated that Pt nanoparticles dissolve in the presence of CO on the surface and in the electrolyte, and successively deposit on Au substrate. The results points out pronounced instability of Pt nanoparticles in the presence of CO.

AB  - Bulk Pt3Co and nanosized Pt3Co and PtCo alloys supported on high area carbon were investigated as the electrocatalysts for the COads and HCOOH oxidation. Pt3Co alloy with Co electrochemically leached from the surface (Pt skeleton) was employed to separate electronic from ensemble and bifunctional effects of Co. Cyclic voltammetry in 0.1 M HClO4 showed reduced amount of adsorbed hydrogen on Pt sites on Pt3Co alloy compared to pure Pt. However, no significant difference in hydrogen adsorption/desorption and Pt-oxide reduction features between Pt3Co with Pt skeleton structure and bulk Pt was observed. The oxidation of COads on Pt3Co alloy commenced earlier than on Pt, but this effect on Pt3Co with Pt skeleton structure was minor indicating that bifunctional mechanism is stronger than the electronic modification of Pt by Co. The HCOOH oxidation rate on Pt3Co alloy was about seven times higher than on bulk Pt when the reaction rates were compared at 0.4 V, i.e., in the middle of the potential range for the HCOOH oxidation. Like in the case of COads oxidation, Pt skeleton showed similar activity as bulk Pt indicating that the ensemble effect is responsible for the enhanced activity of Pt3Co alloy toward HCOOH oxidation. The comparison of COads and HCOOH oxidation on Pt3Co/C and PtCo/C with the same reaction on Pt/C were qualitatively the same as on bulk materials.

AB  - Pt-Au nanoparticles supported on high area carbon were prepared by simultaneous reduction of Au and Pt precursors and by reduction of Pt precursor on already prepared Au nanoparticles. The first method produced a solid solution of Pt in Au containing similar to 5% Pt with the remaining Pt on the nanoparticles' surface. For the Pt:Au precursor ratio of 1:4 and 1:9, the surface ratio was found to be 0.70:0.30 and 0.55:0.45, respectively. By the second method with the Pt:Au precursors ratio of 1:12, the surface ratio was 0.30:0.70. The voltammetric peaks of Pt-oxide reduction and CO(ads) oxidation demonstrated electronic modification of Pt by Au in all catalysts. With decreasing Pt:Au surface ratio the activity for HCOOH oxidation increases and surface coverage by CO(ads) decreases. The highest activity under potentiodynamic and quasi steady-state conditions without poisoning by CO(ads) was observed for the catalyst with the lowest Pt:Au surface ratio. Chronoamperometic test showed that its high catalytic activity is associated with a high deactivation rate. It was postulated that too strong adsorption of a reactive or non-reactive intermediate caused by electron modification of Pt by underlying Au, is responsible for the deactivation. This result stresses that high Pt dispersion, necessary for promotion of the dehydrogenation path in HCOOH oxidation, can produce too strong adsorption of intermediates causing deactivation of the catalyst.

AB  - Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as a support for Pt nanoparticles prepared by the microwave-assisted polyol method. The MWCNTs were pretreated by chemical oxidation (o-MWCNTs) followed by modification by ethylenediamine (eda-MWCNTs). Characterization of both oxidized and eda-modified materials by UV-spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed that the modification by eda leads to (i) agglomeration of the MWCNTs, (ii) a decrease in the capacitance of the material and (iii) reduced rate of electron transfer between the MWCNTs and solution species. However, the Pt loading of Pt/o-MWCNTs was only 2 mass% while the loading of Pt/eda-MWCNTs was 20 mass%. Much higher efficiency of Pt deposition on eda-MWCNTs than on o-MWCNTs was ascribed to the shift in pH(pzc) value of the MWCNT surface from 2.43 to 5.91 upon modification by eda. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the mean diameter of the Pt particles in Pt/eda-MWCNTs is 2.5 +/- 0.5 nm and that their distribution on the support is homogenous with no evidence of pronounced particle agglomeration. Cyclic voltammetry of a Pt/eda-MWCNT thin film indicated a clean Pt surface with well-resolved peaks characteristic of polycrystalline Pt. Its electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction was examined and the results corresponded to the commercial Pt nanocatalyst. This study shows that modification of o-MWCNTs by eda helps to achieve homogenous distribution of small Pt nanoparticles and does not impede its electrocatalytic activity.

AB  - TiO2 doped by 0.5% Nb was synthesized by the acid-catalyzed sol-gel method. BET surface area was determined to be 72 m(2) g(-1). XRD measurements showed that TiO2 has structure of anatase with similar to 13 nm average crystallite size. Using Nb-TiO2 as a support, Pt/Nb-TiO2 and Pt-Ru/Nb-TiO2 were prepared by borohydride reduction method. TEM imaging of Pt-Ru/Nb-TiO2 revealed rather uniform distribution of the metallic particles on the support with a mean diameter of 3.8 nm. According to XRD analysis, Pt-Ru particles consist of the solid solution of Ru in Pt (40 at.% Ru) and a small amount of RuO2. Cyclic voltammetry of Pt/Nb-TiO2 and Pt-Ru/Nb-TiO2 indicated good conductivity of the supporting material. Oxidation of pre-adsorbed CO and methanol on Pt-Ru/Nb-TiO2 was faster than on Pt/Nb-TiO2. However, when the activities of Pt/Nb-TiO2 and Pt-Ru/Nb-TiO2 for methanol oxidation were compared to those of Pt/XC-72 and Pt-Ru/XC-72, no significant difference was observed. This means that Nb-TiO2 is a promising replacement for high area carbon supports in PEMFC anodes, but without the influence on the reaction kinetics.
