The oxidation of small organic molecules: A survey of recent fuel cell related research

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent electrochemical literature concerning the oxidation of small organic molecules as potential fuels for fuel cells is presented, and the nature of poisoning species and reaction intermediates are discussed.

Recent advances in direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFC)

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) can be found in this article, mainly focusing on the anodic catalysts for the electro-oxidation of Formic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

The oxidation of formic acid at noble metal electrodes Part III. Intermediates and mechanism on platinum electrodes

TL;DR: In this paper, the charge required to oxidize the strongly bound intermediate on Pt electrodes in 1 M H2SO4 is determined from sweep measurements extrapolated to infinite speed, and from the oxidation of the intermediate in the absence of bulk reaction using a dipping technique.

A first principles comparison of the mechanism and site requirements for the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol and formic acid over Pt

TL;DR: First principles density functional theoretical calculations were carried out to examine and compare the reaction paths and ensembles for the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol and formic acid in the presence of solution and applied electrochemical potential, suggesting that alloys will not have the same influence on formic Acid oxidation as they do for methanl oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrocatalysis by ad-atoms

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface composition of Au-Pt and Au-pd alloy electrodes has been investigated for methanol oxidation and the results indicate that surface composition plays predominant roles in the methenol oxidation.

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 on platinum electrodes in acid solutions

TL;DR: The CO2-peak of the i(E)-sweep curve (CO2peak) was observed in the case of CO2 on platinized platinum at 90°C.

The behaviour of platinized-platinum and platinum-ruthenium electrodes in methanol solutions

TL;DR: In this article, the potentials of a Pt/Pt electrode in methanol solutions are determined by adsorbed hydrogen, based on the charging curves and the potentiostatic curves of a platinum electrode measured after its contact with methanoline, and the analysis of these curves shows, also, that under definite conditions, a predominant chemisorption of particles with the composition HCO occurs on platinized platinum in metanol solutions.

Absorption of organic substances on platinum electrodes

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the electrode potential upon adsorption is determined by the influence of hydrogen and oxygen adaption, and it is shown that the double layer charge has but little effect upon chemisorption of organic substances on the platinum electrode.

The anodic oxidation of methanol and formic acid and the reductive. Adsorption of CO2

TL;DR: On the anodic fastpotential-sweep curve made on platinized platinum in acid solutions containing CH3OH and HCOOH, the potential of which is a strong function of temperature, at 95°C, approximately Eh = 400, at 25°C at approximately En = 600 mV (potentials against reversible H2-electrode).
