Electrogenerative oxidation of dissolved alcohols with platinum—graphite packed bed catalysts

Macrokinetic analysis of polarisation characteristics of gas-diffusion electrodes in contact with liquid electrolytes, Part II: Oxygen reduction as example for a higher order reaction

“…Other possible applications are as counter electrodes in the production of metal solutions (e.g. Sn(BF 4 ) 2 ) for electro-plating [3] and in electrochemical hydrocarbon partial oxidation processes in the liquid phase [4][5][6][7]. Finally, and maybe most importantly, oxygen cathodes play a major role in all types of fuel cells.…”

On-line characterization of platinum/graphite catalysts during liquid phase oxidations using cyclic voltammetry

“…As a function of the catalyst potential an electric current is measured. Cyclic voltammetry has been mainly used for the characterization of fuel cell electrodes, consisting of carbon supported platinum catalysts [23][24][25][26][27], to study the influence of the preparation method on the electrocatalytic performance. It has also been applied as an ex-situ technique for the characterization of graphite supported catalysts before and after the oxidation of alcohols and carbohydrates [11,28].…”

Selective synthesis of MeCHO by C2H4–(O2+NO) cell system

“…3,4 The cell system has additional advantages, (iii) the reaction rate and the current are easily controlled by variable resistance, and (iv) the danger of explosion is reduced because C 2 H 4 and O 2 are separated by the membrane. 1,[5][6][7] However, the rate of MeCHO formation attained in this C 2 H 4 -O 2 cell system (1 ~2 TON per Pd atom in 1 h) 1 has to be improved dramatically. The TON obtained in the current Wacker process is greater than 10.…”
