Development of electrodeposited IrO2 electrodes as anodes in polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis

Abstract: To reduce the use of noble metals, iridium oxide (IrO2) catalysts are prepared on carbon paper (CP) by electrodeposition for use as the anodes in polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). The activities of the fabricated electrodes toward the oxygen evolution reaction are evaluated. The loading amount and morphology of the IrO2 deposits are varied by controlling the electrodeposition potential (Edep) and time (tdep). When electrodeposited at 0.7 V, the IrO2 loading ranges from 0.007 to 0.464 mg cm−2 (tdep: 1 ∼ 30 min). In the PEMWE test at 90 °C, the IrO2/CP electrode with an IrO2 loading of 0.1 mg cm−2 shows the highest performance (1.92 A cm−2 at 1.8 V) in which high IrO2 utilization is achieved without significant exposure of the substrate carbon surface. The developed IrO2/CP electrodes provide cell performances comparable to those in previous reports with a higher IrO2 loading, indicating markedly enhanced mass activity.

Multicomponent analysis of Korean green tea by means of disposable all-solid-state potentiometric electronic tongue microsystem

Abstract: All-solid-state ‘electronic tongue’ microsystem comprised of polymeric sensors of different types such as highly cross-sensitive sensors based both on PVC and aromatic polyurethane (ArPU) matrices doped with various membrane active components, electrochemically deposited conductive films of polypyrrole (PPy) and polyaniline (PAn) and potentiometric glucose biosensors has been developed and applied for the analysis of beverages: natural coffee, black tea and different sorts of green teas. The system can discriminate different kinds of teas (black and green) and natural coffees. Components that are responsible for giving unique taste such as caffeine, catechines, sugar, amino acid l -arginine have been determined for green tea samples with unknown manufacturer specifications.
