Mechanism study of the ethanol oxidation reaction on palladium in alkaline media
TLDR
In this paper, the mechanism of the ethanol oxidation reaction on a palladium electrode was studied using the cyclic voltammetry method, and the Tafel slope was found to be 130mV/dec−1 at lower potentials, which suggests that the adsorption of OH− ions follows the Temkin-type isotherm on the Pd electrode.About:
