Resumo
No presente trabalho foram estudadas as reações de oxidação de etileno glicol e glicerol sobre a superfície dos intermetálicos PtSb/C e PdSb/C, em meio alcalino (NaOH) e ácido (HCIO4). As nanopartículas intermetálicas de PtSb/C e PdSb/C foram preparadas pelo método de redução de poliol e caracterizadas por DRX, MEV-EDX e MET, cujos resultados indicaram que a metodologia utilizada foi eficaz para a obtenção dos materiais na estequiometria desejada. A análise morfológica da superfície dos intermetálicos mostrou a formação de aglomerados e tamanho médio de partículas entre 1nm e 2nm, para o material PdSb/C e PtSb/C, respectivamente. A eletrocatálise das reações de oxidação dos alcóois foi avaliada por voltametria cíclica e cronoamperometria, em temperatura ambiente. Os resultados revelaram que o material PtSb/C apresenta maior desempenho eletroquímico que a Pt/C E-TEK na oxidação do glicerol em meio alcalino. O intermetálico PdSb/C não apresenta atividade eletroquímica em meio ácido. Contudo, em meio alcalino, o PdSB/C exibe maior tolerância ao bloqueio de intermediários adsorvidos do que a superfície da Pt/C E-TEK, e desloca o potencial de início de oxidação do glicerol para valores mais negativos, em relação ao Pd/C. Por meio de experimentos de espectroscopia de infravermelho in situ foram propostas rotas reacionais para as oxidações investigativas. A formação de CO2 em ácido, e carbonato em meio alcalino, foi observada para a superfície do PtSb/C na oxidação de ambos os alcóois, indicando que a clivagem da ligação C-C é efetiva sobre a superfície deste material. Contudo, o ácido glicólico é o principal produto formado durante a oxidação do etileno glicol, em meio ácido e alcalino, sobre a superfície do PtSb/C; e também na oxidação de ambos os alcoóis, sobre o eletrodo intermetálico...
In this work, the oxidation reaction of ethylene glycol and glycerol on the surface of the intermetallics PtSb/C and PdSb/C electrodes were investigated in both alkaline (NaOH) and acid (HCIO4) media. The intermetallics PdSb/C and PtSb/C nanoparticles were prepared via the polyol reduction method, and the resulting nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, SEM-EDS, and TEM techniques. The characterization data have indicated that the employed methodology indeed furnished materials with the desidered chemical identity stoichiometry. Surface morphology analysis revealed the presence of particles with mean sizes of 1 nm and 2 nm for PdSb/C and PtSb/C, respectively, as well as the formation of agglomerates. Oxidation reactions of the investigated alcohols were studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry at room temperature. The obtained results have demonstrated that the PtSb/C electrode performed better than Pt/C E-TEK for glycerol oxidation in alkaline medium. The intermetallic PdSb/C electrode did not display any electrochemical activity in acidic medium. However, in alkaline medium, the PdSb/C electrode exhibited higher tolerance to active site blockage as compared to the Pt/C R-TEK electrode surface. Moreover, the PdSb/C electrode shifted the onset of glycerol oxidation to less positive potential values as compared to Pd/C. In situ infrared spectroscopy experiments aided the proposal of reaction pathways for the studied oxidation reactions. The formation of Co2, in acidic medium, and carbonate, in alkaline medium, were detected for the reaction taking place on the surface of the PtSb/C electrode for the oxidation of both alcohols, showing that the C-C bond cleavage effectivelly took place on the surface of this material. Nevertheless, glycolic acid was the main product from ethylene glycol... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
