摘要
In this work, Pt-pc/Ir/Pt metallic multilayer nanostructured electrodes were prepared. The composition and number of the constituent metal layers were varied and the number of Ir and Pt layers studied were: 1.5:1.5, 1.5:10,10:1.5,10:10 and 250:250 Ir and Pt monolayers. The ethanol electrooxidation reaction and its products was studied using electrochemical in situ FUR technique and could be observed as a selective cleavage of the ethanol C-C bond in acidic electrolyte. Neither acetaldehyde nor acetic acid IR band could be observed for ethanol electrooxidation at 1.5 V vs. RHE over Pt-pc/Ir-250/Pt-250 metallic multilayer electrodes. Also, the enhancement on CO2 production over this electrode was more than six times the amount observed using the Pt-pc electrodes. Thus, the complete C-C cleavage bond in ethanol molecule was observed, leading only CO2 as reaction product. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
