Ethylene glycol oxidation on ternary PtRhNi/C electrocatalyst with different metal compositions
Listed in DataCite
ABSTRACT Direct Alcohol Fuel Cells (DAFC’s) are an alternative to fuel cell systems and when is used alkaline medium this has an increase performance.
Description
The alkaline direct alcohol fuel cells (ADAFC's) have some advantages such as low-emission, high energy efficiency, improved oxidation kinetics, low crossover and in addition there is a broad range of materials that can be used as catalysts. The ethylene glycol (EG) has received attention in recent decades as an alternative fuel for ADAFC, but like others alcohols must be completed oxidized to generate full power energy.
In this study we analyzed ternary PtRhNi/C electrocatalysts with different compositions, synthesized by alcohol reduction method, and compared to Pt/C ETEK. The active area, catalytic activity and stability of catalysts for ethylene glycol oxidation in alkaline medium were studied by cyclic voltammetry, CO stripping voltammetry and chronoamperometry tests. XRD technique was applied to physical characterization and it was observed the formation of alloy.

The average crystallite size was calculated from the Scherrer equation. The Pt92Rh7Ni1/C electrocatalyst shows a larger electrochemically active area and consequently higher catalytic activity for EG oxidation. This response was attributed to improvement in the synergistic effect provided by the reduction of the amount of Rh and Ni in the ternary alloy when compared to Pt80Rh15Ni5/C and Pt/C ETEK electrocatalysts.
However, Pt80Rh15Ni5/C electrocatalyst showed greater tolerance to poisoning by intermediate species due to the presence of Rh in greater quantity, leading to a formation of adsorbed OH species in potentials smaller than those for platinum.
