AB  - Platinum nanocatalyst at nano-tungsten carbide was synthesized, characterized and tested for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.1 mol dm−3 NaOH, at 25 °C. Tungsten-carbide islands on nano-tungsten particles (WC) was synthesized from gel prepared by using nanoparticles of WO3, previously produced from W-powder oxidized in H2O2. The support was porous material with high specific surface area (177 m2 g−1).The WC supported Pt (10 wt.%) catalyst was prepared by borohydride reduction method.X-ray diffraction of the catalyst demonstrates successful reduction of Pt precursor to metallic form. STEM analysis of Pt/WC catalyst showed the existence of Pt particles lower than 2 nm in size, even the clusters of Pt atoms.Electrochemically active surface area of Pt was determined from adsorption/desorption charge of hydrogen atoms.Catalytic activity of the synthesized catalyst for ORR was studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disk electrode. The onset potential on Pt/WC for ORR, comparing with Pt/Vulcan, was shifted to the positive potentials for about 150 mV. Pt/WC catalyst shows one Tafel slope of −0.105 V dec−1, remarkable catalytic activity expressed either through the value of the current density per real surface area, or through the mass activity and excellent stability.

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  - In order to point out the effect of the support to the catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction nano-crystalline Nb-doped TiO2 was synthesized through a modified sol-gel route procedure. The specific surface area of the support, SBET, and pore size distribution, were calculated from the adsorption isotherms using the gravimetric McBain method. The support was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The borohydride reduction method was used to prepare Nb-TiO2 supported Pt (20 wt.%) catalyst. The synthesized catalyst was analyzed by TEM technique. Finally, the catalytic activity of this new catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction was investigated in acid solution, in the absence and the presence of methanol, and its activity was compared towards the results on C/Pt catalysts. Kinetic analysis reveals that the oxygen reduction reaction on Nb-TiO2/Pt catalyst follows four-electron process leading to water, as in the case of C/Pt electrode, but the Tafel plots normalized to the electrochemically active surface area show very remarkable enhancement in activity of Nb-TiO2/Pt expressed through the value of the current density at the constant potential. Moreover, Nb-TiO2/Pt catalyst exhibits higher methanol tolerance during the oxygen reduction reaction than the C/Pt catalyst. The enhancement in the activity of Nb-TiO2/Pt is consequence of both: the interactions of Pt nanoparticles with the support and the energy shift of the surface d-states with respect to the Fermi level what changes the surface reactivity. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - The influence of poisoning of MoOx-Pt catalyst by CO on the kinetics of H2 oxidation reaction (HOR) at MoOx-Pt electrode in 0.5 mol dm-3 HClO4 saturated with H 2 containing 100 ppm CO, was examined on rotating disc electrode (RDE) at 25 °C. MoOx-Pt nano-catalyst prepared by the polyole method combined with MoOx post-deposition was supported on commercial carbon black, Vulcan XC-72. The MoOx-Pt/C catalyst was characterized by TEM technique. The catalyst composition is very similar to the nominal one and post-deposited MoOx species block only a small fraction of the active Pt particle surface area. MoOx deposition on the carbon support can be ruled out from the EDAX results and from the low mobility of these oxides under used conditions. Based on Tafel-Heyrovsky-Volmer mechanism the corresponding kinetic equations from a dual-pathway model were derived to describe oxidation current-potential behavior on RDE over entire potential range, at various CO coverages. The polarization RDE curves were fitted with derived polarization equations according to the proposed model. The fitting showed that the HOR proceeded most likely via the Tafel-Volmer (TV) pathway. A very high electrocatalytic activity observed at MoOx-Pt catalyst for the hydrogen oxidation reaction in the presence of 100 ppm CO is achieved through chemical surface reaction of adsorbed CO with Mo surface oxides. © 2009 Professor T.

AB  - The kinetics and mechanism of the hydrogen oxidation reaction were studied in 0.5 mol dm-3 HClO4 solution on an electrode based on titanium oxide with Magneli phase structure-supported platinum electrocatalyst applied on rotation Au disk electrode. Pt catalyst was prepared by impregnation method from 2-propanol solution of Pt(NH3)2(NO2)2 and sub-stoichiometric titanium oxide powder. Sub-stiochiometric titanium oxide support was characterized by X-ray diffraction and BET techniques. The synthesized catalyst was analyzed by TEM technique. Based on Tafel-Heyrovsky-Volmer mechanism the corresponding kinetic equations were derived to describe the hydrogen oxidation current-potential behavior on RDE over the entire potential region. The polarization RDE curves were fitted with derived polarization equations according to proposed model. The fitting shows that the HOR on Pt proceeds most likely via the Tafel-Volmer (TV) pathway in the lower potential region, while the Heyrovsky-Volmer (HV) pathway is operative in the higher potential region. It is pointed out that Tafel equation that has been frequently used for the kinetics analysis in the HOR, can not reproduce the polarization curves measured with high mass-transport rates. Polarization measurements on RDE revealed that the Pt catalyst deposited on titanium suboxide support showed equal specific activity for the HOR compared to conventional carbon-supported Pt fuel cell catalyst. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - The influence of poisoning of Pt catalyst by CO on the kinetics and mechanism of H2 oxidation reaction (HOR) at Pt/C electrode in 0.5 mol dm-3 HClO4, saturated with H2 containing 100 ppm CO, was examined with rotating disc electrode (RDE) at 22 °C. Commercial carbon black, Vulcan XC-72 was used as support, while Pt/C catalyst was prepared by modified polyol synthesis method in an ethylene glycol (EG) solution. The kinetically controlled current (Ik) for the HOR at Pt/C decreases significantly at CO coverage (ΘCO) > 0.6. For ΘCO < 0.6 the HOR takes place through Tafel-Volmer mechanism with Tafel reaction as rate-determining step at the low CO coverage, while Volmer step controls the overall reaction rate at the medium CO coverage. When CO coverage is higher then 0.6, Heyrovsky-Volmer mechanism is operative for the HOR with Heyrovsky as the rate-determining step (rds). © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB  - The temperature dependence of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was studied on highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles supported on a carbon cryo-gel. The specific surface area of the support was 517 m2 g-1, the Pt particles diameter was about 2.7 nm and the loading of the catalyst was 20 wt.%. The kinetics of the ORR at the Pt/C electrode was examined in 0.50 mol dm-3 HClO4 solution in the temperature range from 274 to 318 K. At all temperatures, two distinct E-log j regions were observed; at low current densities with a slope of -2.3RT/F and at high current densities with a slope of -2.3´2RT/F. In order to confirm the mechanism of oxygen reduction previously suggested at a polycrystalline Pt and a Pt/Ebonex nanostructured electrode, the apparent enthalpies of activation at selected potentials vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode were calculated in both current density regions. Although ∆H ≠a,1  gt  ∆H ≠a,h , it was a,1 a, h found that the enthalpies of activation at the zero Galvani potential difference were the same and hence it could be concluded that the rate-determining step of the ORR was the same in both current density regions. The synthesized Pt/C catalyst showed a small enhancement in the catalytic activity for ORR in comparison to the polycrystalline Pt, but no change in the mechanism of the reaction.

AB  - A carbon cryogel, synthesized by carbonization of a resorcinol/formaldehyde cryogel and oxidized in nitric acid, was used as catalyst Support for Pt nanoparticles. The Pt/C catalyst was prepared by a modified polyol synthesis method in an ethylene glycol (EG) solution. Characterization by nitrogen adsorption showed that the carbon cryogel support and the Pt/C catalyst were mesoporous materials with high specific surface areas (S-BET GT 400 m(2) g(-1)) and large mesoporous Volumes. X-Ray diffraction of the catalyst demonstrated the successful reduction of the Pt precursor to metallic form. TEM Images of the Pt/C catalyst and Pt particle size distribution showed that the mean Pt particle size was about 3.3 nm. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments at various scan rates (from 2 to 200 mV s(-1)) were pet-formed in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HCIO4 solution. The large capacitance of the oxidized carbon cryogel electrode, which arises from a combination of the double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance, associated with the participation of surface redox-type reactions was demonstrated. For the oxidized carbon cryogel, the total specific capacitance determined by I1/C vs. v(0.5) extrapolation method was found to be 386 F g-l. The hydrogen oxidation reaction at the investigated Pt/C catalyst proceeded as an electrochemically reversible, two-electron direct discharge reaction.

AB  - Magneli phases [A. Magneli, Acta Chem. Scand. 13 (1959) 5] have been introduced as a unique electron conductive and interactive support for electrocatalysis both in hydrogen (HELR) and oxygen (OELR) electrode reactions in water electrolysis and Low Temperature PEM Fuel Cells (LT PEM FC). The Strong Metal-Support Interaction (SMSI) that imposes the former implies: (i) the hypo-hyper-d-interbonding effect and its catalytic consequences, and (ii) the interactive primary oxide (M-OH) spillover from the hypo-d-oxide support as a dynamic electrocatalytic contribution. The stronger the bonding, the more strained appear d-orbitals, thereby the less strong the intermediate adsorptive strength in the rate determining step (RDS), and consequently, the faster the facilitated catalytic electrode reaction arises. At the same time the primary oxide spillover transferred from the hypo-d-oxide support directly interferes and reacts either individually and directly to contribute to finish the oxygen reduction, or with other interactive species, like CO to contribute to the CO tolerance. In such a respect, the conditions to provide Au to act as the reversible hydrogen electrode have been proved either by its potentiodynamic surface reconstruction in a heavy water solution, or by the nanostructured SMSI Au on anatase titania with characteristic strained d-orbitals in such a hypo-hyper-d-interactive bonding (Au/TiO2). In the same context, some spontaneous tendency towards monoatomic network dispersion of Pt upon Magneli phases makes it possible to produce an advanced interactive supported electrocatalyst for cathodic oxygen reduction (ORR). The strained hypo-hyper-d-interelectronic and inter-d-orbital metal/hypo-d-oxide support bonding relative to the strength of the latter, has been inferred to be the basis of the synergistic electrocatalytic effect both in the HELR and ORR.

Scand. 13 (1959) 5] have been introduced as a unique electron conductive and interactive support for electrocatalysis both in hydrogen (HELR) and oxygen (OELR) electrode reactions in water electrolysis and Low Temperature PEM Fuel Cells (LT PEM FC). The Strong Metal-Support Interaction (SMSI) that imposes the former implies: (i) the hypo-hyper-d-interbonding effect and its catalytic consequences, and (ii) the interactive primary oxide (M-OH) spillover from the hypo-d-oxide support as a dynamic electrocatalytic contribution. The stronger the bonding, the more strained appear d-orbitals, thereby the less strong the intermediate adsorptive strength in the rate determining step (RDS), and consequently, the faster the facilitated catalytic electrode reaction arises. At the same time the primary oxide spillover transferred from the hypo-d-oxide support directly interferes and reacts either individually and directly to contribute to finish the oxygen reduction, or with other interactive species, like CO to contribute to the CO tolerance. In such a respect, the conditions to provide Au to act as the reversible hydrogen electrode have been proved either by its potentiodynamic surface reconstruction in a heavy water solution, or by the nanostructured SMSI Au on anatase titania with characteristic strained d-orbitals in such a hypo-hyper-d-interactive bonding (Au/TiO2). In the same context, some spontaneous tendency towards monoatomic network dispersion of Pt upon Magneli phases makes it possible to produce an advanced interactive supported electrocatalyst for cathodic oxygen reduction (ORR). The strained hypo-hyper-d-interelectronic and inter-d-orbital metal/hypo-d-oxide support bonding relative to the strength of the latter, has been inferred to be the basis of the synergistic electrocatalytic effect both in the HELR and ORR.",

AB  - Home-made carbon cryogel synthesized by sol-gel polycondensation and freeze-drying is used as support for preparation of highly dispersed Pt catalyst that is made by a modified polyol synthesis method in an ethylene glycol (EG) solution. Specific surface area of carbon support and Pt/C catalyst is determined from nitrogen adsorption isotherm. The adsorption isotherm demonstrates a significant mesoporosity of carbon support. Specific surface area of the carbon support, calculated by the BET equation, is found to be 573 m(2) g(-1). X-ray diffraction (XRD) results demonstrate a successful reduction of the Pt precursor to its metallic form, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show very uniform Pt particle size distribution with mean particle size of about 2.7 +/- 0.7 nm of the catalyst. Potentiodynamic studies of the underpotential deposition of hydrogen (H-upd) on Pt/C electrode in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4 aqueous solution in the temperature range from 274 to 318 K are made, and thermodynamic state functions for the hydrogen adsorption are determined. The experimental results are analyzed assuming linear variation of the Gibbs energy of adsorption versus theta H-upd on the basis of the surface heterogeneity. The increase of Delta G(Hupd)(theta) with the surface coverage indicates the repulsive interactions between H-upd adatoms. From the temperature dependence of the Gibbs energy of adsorption, the enthalpy and the entropy of adsorption are calculated. The values of these functions are determined to be Delta H-Hupd(theta=0) = -5.6 kJ mol(-1) and Delta S-Hupd(theta=0) = 69.1 J mol(-1) K-1 The value of Delta H-Hupd(theta) allows determinations of the bond energy between electrode surface and H-upd that is found to be Ept-H = 223 kJ mol(-1) for theta = 0.

AB  - The impregnation method has been applied to synthesize platinum nanoparticles on Magneli phase titanium oxide powder (Ebonex). Surface area of the Ebonex support was determined by BET technique. Distribution and morphology of Pt nanoparticles in Ebonex/Pt catalyst were analyzed by TEM and HRTEM technique. Rather uniformly dispersed, Pt particles Of 5 +/- 3 nm were observed. The catalyst was tested for oxygen reduction and methanol oxidation in alkaline solution. It was found that in whole potential range oxygen was reduced with four electron exchanged and that the transfer of the first electron was the rate determining step. The kinetics of oxygen reduction on Ebonex/Pt can be described by the same equations as on polycrystalline Pt. When the activities were expressed through the specific current densities, no enhancement for Ebonex/Pt was observed comparing with polycrystalline Pt. Kinetic parameters and specific activity of the methanol oxidation on Ebonex/Pt,was found to be similar to those on polycrystalline Pt as well as to literature data for Pt nanoparticles on other supporting,materials. The Results: for, both reactions investigated indicate that Ebonex does not increase the activity of Pt significantly, bat can serve as a suitable supporting material for nanoparticles in fuel cell catalysts.

AB  - Polycrystalline Pt electrode was modified by underpotential deposition (upd) of nickel. The modification was performed by potential cycling in phosphate buffer pH 7. 0 containing NiSO4, in which hydrogen and nickel upd processes were well separated. The maximum Ni upd coverage was found to be 0.3. Oxygen reduction was studied at bare and nickel upd-modified Pt. It was found that the reaction rate increased with increasing Ni upd coverage. At theta(Ni)=0.3, the current density was a factor of 2 higher compared to bare Pt (at the potential of 0.85 V). The capacitance of the electrode interface was determined in potential-relaxation experiments following interruption of the polarization current. It was found that the pseudocapacitance owing to a coverage by the adsorbed reaction intermediates was higher on the Ni-modified Pt surface than on bare Pt, which resulted in higher reaction rate. The influence of Ni adatoms on the surface coverage by the reaction intermediates was attributed to the inhibition of OH adsorption on Pt by OH ligands attached on neighboring Ni atoms.

AB  - Surface modification of the electrodes was conducted from sulfuric acid solutions containing the corresponding metal-chloride complexes using cyclic voltammeter. Comparing the charges of the hydrogen underpotential deposition region, and the corresponding oxide reduction regions, it is concluded that a platinum overlayer on gold forms 3D islands, while gold on platinum forms 2D islands. Foreign metals present in an amount of up to one monolayer exert an influence on the change in reaction rate with respect to both hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen reduction (ORR) reactions. Aplatinum overlayer on a gold substrate increases the activity for HER and for ORR, compared with pure gold. These results can be understood in terms of a simple model, in which the change in the H and OH binding energies are directly proportional to the shift of the d-bond center of the overlayer. On the contrary, a gold layer on platinum slightly decreases the activity for both reactions compared with pure platinum.

The Temkin isotherm was fitted for both underpotential depositions, and thermodynamic adsorption parameters were calculated for both atoms. The value of the bonding energy between hydrogen and surface in the presence of underpotentially deposited nickel was calculated and found to amount to 287 kJ mol(-1), which is 40 kJ mol(-1) stronger bond than the same of pure platinum. The presence of nickel on the surface facilitates interfacial transfer of hydrogen into the metal bulk and consequent hydride formation significant in design of hydrogen based fuel cells.

AB  - Oxygen reduction (OR) at a Pt3Co alloy electrode has been examined in alkaline solutions of different pH's in the temperature range from 274 to 313 K. At all temperatures, two distinct E-log j rep-ions are observed. At low current densities (cd), Tafel slopes are close to -2.3 RT/F while at high current densities they are close to -2 x 2.3RT/F. The Tafel slopes at all pH values closely follow the kconventional temperature dependence with beta = 1/2. In addition, to confirm the mechanism in the two cd regions, the apparent enthalpies of activation at the selected potentials are calculated in both low and high cd regions at different pH. Although the relation DeltaH(a,J c.d)*  gt  DeltaH(a,h .c.d)(not equal) was found to be valid. it is concluded that at every pH, at the zero Galvani potential difference, the enthalples of activation are identical, and the rate determining step of OR reaction is the same in both cd regions. The changes in the Tafel slopes arise from different adsorption conditions of reaction intermediates in these regions as previously suggested [1].

AB  - A rotating Pt3Co, thermally prepared alloy disc is used to study electrochemical oxygen reduction in alkaline solutions of different pH. In all solutions two Tafel regions are found: at low current densities partial derivativeE/partial derivativelog j = -2.3RT/F and at high current densities partial derivativeE/log j = -2.3 x 2RT/F. The reaction order with respect to OH- is confirmed to be -1/2 and 0 for low and high current density regions, respectively. The coverage, theta, with oxygen intermediates, determined by a programmed potentiodynamic method, is found to be a function of potential and pH. In all solutions, substantial coverages are observed only at potentials in the low current density region. It is found that the fractional reaction order at low current densities is related through the adsorption of oxygen species under Temkin conditions and the dependence of activation energy on theta and pH.

AB  - The competitive adsorption of organic molecules (2, 7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid) and adsorbed H is of interest in relation to its influence on H absorption into a Pd-Ni electro-deposited alloy. The experimental results, in acid solution, show an enhancement of the coverage of the electrode surface with adosrbed H due to the competitive adsorption of organic molecules that interfere with H atoms, through lateral attractive interactions between the adsorbed species and communal electronic effects, leading supposedly to a decreased probability of H entry into the alloy. Chemisorbed H is, on the other hand, an intermediate in the HER, so the enhancement of the electrode coverage in the presence of co-adsorbed organic molecules promotes the hydrogen evolution reaction.
