Effect of support materials for palladium electrocatalyst on ethanol oxidation
Abstract:
This research studied the effect of support materials for palladium electrocatalysts on ethanol oxidation. 20 percent Pd/support material electrocatalysts were synthesized by polyol method. The studied support materials were carbon powder (C) and WO3/C hybrid materials. WO3/C hybrid materials were synthesized by adsorption and decomposition of phosphotungstic acid (PWA) on carbon powder. The content of WO3 was varied from 10 to 30 percent by weight. The electrochemical activities were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in alkaline solution. Firstly, the activity of Pd/C and calcined Pd/C electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation were compared. The results showed that calcined Pd/C was higher activity for ethanol oxidation than non-calcined Pd/C. Then all studied catalysts were calcined before testing their activity. For different ratios of WO3: C, the results showed that the ethanol oxidation current density of Pd-30 percent WO3/C (132.7 mA cm-2) is higher than, Pd-20 percent WO3/C (118.6 mA cm-2), calcined Pd/C (102.8 mA cm-2) and Pd-10 percent WO3/C (58.6 mA cm-2) respectively.
