Artigo IPEN-doc 27374 Obtaining C2 and C3 products from methane using Pd/C as anode in a solid fuel cell-type electrolyte reactor2020 - RAMOS, ANDREZZA S.; SANTOS, MONIQUE C.L.; GODOI, CAMILA M.; OLIVEIRA NETO, ALMIR; SOUZA, RODRIGO F.B. deMethane was converted into C2 and C3 products under mild conditions using a single stage solid electrolyte reactor, using a proton exchange membrane fuel cell as a SER-FC and Pd/C as an electrocatalyst prepared by the reduction method of sodium borohydride. This electrocatalyst has a cubic pattern of palladium centered on the face and an average size of nanoparticles close to 6.4 nm, according to the literature. Differential mass spectrometry reveals the chemical profile of species obtained from the oxidation of methane with ionic currents (Ii) at m/z=16, 28, 30, 32, 44, 46 and 60. In many cases, Ii can be assigned to more than one species; therefore, complementary ATR-FTIR experiments were performed. The ATR-FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of C2 and C3 compounds such as ethane, ethanol, acetaldehyde, acetic acid and propane. Considering the low amount of water in the reaction medium, these results may be associated with the use of Pd/C electrocatalysts responsible for the activation of the water molecule.Artigo IPEN-doc 19960 Ethanol oxidation reaction using PtSn/C+ce/C electrocatalysts2014 - SOUZA, R.F.B. de; SILVA, J.C.M.; ASSUMPCAO, M.H.M.T.; NETO, A.O.; SANTOS, M.C.The ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) was investigated using PtSn/C + Ce/C electrocatalysts in different mass ratios (58:42, 53:47, and 42:58) prepared using the polymeric precursor method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments showed particles sizes in the range of 3 to 7 nm. Changes in the net parameters observed for Pt suggest the incorporation of Sn into the Pt crystalline network with the formation of an alloy mixture with the SnO2 phase. Among the PtSn/C + Ce/C catalysts investigated, the 53:47 composition showed the highest activity towards the EOR. In this case, the j versus t curves obtained in the presence of ethanol in acidic media exhibited a current density 90% higher than that observed with the commercial PtSn/C (ETEK). Correspondingly, during the experiments performed on single direct ethanol fuel cells, the maximum power density obtained using PtSn/C + Ce/C (53:47) as the anode was approximately 60% higher than that obtained using the commercial catalyst. FTIR data showed that the observed behavior for ethanol oxidation may be explained in terms of a synergic effect of bifunctional mechanism with electronic effects, in addition to a chemical effect of ceria that provides oxygen-containing species to oxidize acetaldehyde to acetic acid.Artigo IPEN-doc 17244 PtSn/C alloyed and non-alloyed materials: differences in the ethanol electro-oxidation reaction pathways2011 - SILVA, J.C.M.; PARREIRA, L.S.; SOUZA, R.F.B. de; CALEGARO, M.L.; SPINACE, E.V.; NETO, A.O.; SANTOS, M.C.
