Ânodos contendo óxidos de rutênio, titânio e estanho suportados em Ti metálico foram preparados por decomposição térmica para investigar o efeito do solvente (HCl/H 2 O e isopropanol) na composição real de eletrodos de óxidos. As soluções precursoras e suas misturas foram analisadas por Espectrofotometria UV-Vis. A morfologia e a composição dos recobrimentos foram analisadas por Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV) e Energia Dispersiva de raios X (EDX). A área eletroquimicamente ativa e a estabilidade dos eletrodos foram estabelecidas por meio da caracterização voltamétrica (HClO 4 1,0 mol L -1 ) e testes de vida útil, respectivamente. Os resultados mostram que a composição e a morfologia dos recobrimentos variam drasticamente em função do solvente. Eletrodos preparados a partir de isopropanol apresentam excelente concordância entre as composições nominais e as experimentais, maior área eletroquimicamente ativa e excelente estabilidade quando comparados àqueles que utilizaram HCl. A preparação das misturas precursoras em isopropanol aumenta o tempo de vida dos eletrodos RuO 2 -TiO 2 -SnO 2 .Anodes containing ruthenium, titanium, and tin oxides supported on metallic Ti were prepared by thermal decomposition of precursor salts in order to investigate the effect that changing the solvent (from HCl/H 2 O to isopropanol) would have on the real composition of the mixed oxide electrodes. The precursor solutions and their mixtures were analyzed by UVVis Spectrophotometry. Coatings morphology and composition were analyzed by Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). Determination of the electrochemically active area and electrode stability was performed by voltammetric characterization (1.0 mol L -1 HClO 4 ) and service life (SL) tests, respectively. Electrodes prepared from isopropanol showed excellent agreement between the nominal and experimental composition and they presented higher electrochemically active area and better stability when compared to those prepared in the presence of HCl. Preparation of the precursor mixture in isopropanol increases RuO 2 -TiO 2 -SnO 2 electrodes service life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
