    cis-[6-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine](dichloride) palladium(II)-based electrolyte membrane reactors for partial oxidation methane to methanol
    2022 - GARCIA, LUIS M.S.; ZAMBIAZI, PRISCILLA J.; CHAIR, KHAOULA; DOAN, TUAN D.; RAMOS, ANDREZZA S.; NANDENHA, JULIO; SOUZA, RODRIGO F.B. de; OTUBO, LARISSA; DUONG, ADAM; NETO, ALMIR O.
    Methane is an abundant resource and the main constituent of natural gas. It can be converted into higher value-added products and as a subproduct of electricity co-generation. The application of polymer electrolyte reactors for the partial oxidation of methane to methanol to co-generate power and chemical products is a topic of great interest for gas and petroleum industries, especially with the use of materials with a lower amount of metals, such as palladium complex. In this study, we investigate the ideal relationship between cis-[6-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine(dichloride)palladium(II)] (Pd-complex) nanostructure and carbon to obtain a stable, conductive, and functional reagent diffusion electrode. The physical and structural properties of the material were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) techniques. The electrocatalytic activity studies revealed that the most active proportion was 20% of Pd-complex supported on carbon (m/m), which was measured with lower values of open-circuit and power density but with higher efficiency in methanol production with reaction rates of r = 4.2 mol L–1·h–1 at 0.05 V.

    Borohydride reduction method for PdIn/C electrocatalysts synthesis towards glycerol electrooxidation under alkaline condition
    2021 - NANDENHA, JULIO; RAMOS, CARLOS E.D.; SILVA, SIRLANE G. da; SOUZA, RODRIGO F.B. de; FONTES, ERIC H.; OTTONI, CRISTIANE A.; OLIVEIRA NETO, ALMIR
    Pd−In/C electrocatalysts were synthesized by the adapted borohydride reduction method in different atomic ratios. Electrocatalysts were evaluated by conventional electrochemical techniques and direct glycerol fuel cells. X-ray diffraction profiles indicated the structure of Pd and In (fcc) phases, as well as the presence of In higher oxidation states. Regarding Transmission electron microscopy, it showed the particle‘s average diameters between 6.1–12.7 nm. All PdIn/C electrocatalysts showed high current values for −0.30 V vs. Ag/AgCl, which the best one was PdIn/C 90 : 10. Higher performance for glycerol oxidation was observed in polarization curves at 90 °C for PdIn/C (30 : 70) composition.
