    Effects of TiO2 in Pd-TiO2/C for glycerol oxidation in a direct alkaline fuel cell
    2022 - PEREIRA, VIVIANE S.; NANDENHA, JULIO; RAMOS, ANDREZZA; OLIVEIRA NETO, ALMIR
    The Pd-TiO2 electrocatalysts were synthesized via sodium borohydride reduction and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR). The X-ray diffraction experiments of the Pd-TiO2 showed peaks associated with Pd face-centered cubic (fcc) structure and peaks characteristics of TiO2 (anatase phase) with a tetragonal structure. The TEM images showed that the Pd and TiO2 nanoparticles were well distributed in the carbon support showing some clustered regions with nanoparticle sizes between 7 and 8 nm. Cyclic voltammograms showed an increase in current density values after the glycerol adsorption process. Experiments in alkaline direct glycerol fuel cells at 60 °C showed a higher power density for Pd-TiO2/C (70:30) in comparison to the commercial Pd/C electrocatalyst indicating that the use of the TiO2 co-catalyst with Pd nanoparticles had a beneficial behavior. This effect can be attributed to the electronic effect or to the bifunctional mechanism. Molecules with high-value added glyceraldehyde, hydroxypyruvate and formate were identified as electrochemical reaction products of glycerol on all prepared electrocatalysts.

    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.

    High CO tolerance of Pt nanoparticles synthesized by sodium borohydride in a time-domain NMR spectrometer
    2020 - RAMOS, A.S.; SANTOS, M.C.L.; GODOI, C.M.; QUEIROZ, L.C. de; NANDENHA, J.; FONTES, E.H.; BRITO, W.R.; MACHADO, M.B.; NETO, A.O.; SOUZA, R.F.B. de
    The CO poisoning effect was overcome using a novel synthesis method. This method consists of using sodium borohydride reducing agent assisted by magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses in the time-domain NMR spectrometer. This synthesis was useful to disperse the Pt nanoparticles over the carbon support and to compress the lattice strain of the Pt crystalline structure. Besides that, Pt/C MFP90° showed a multi-CO oxidation component in cyclic voltammetry, and this can avoid the poisoning effect by creating a large availability of CO species to be adsorbed, desorbed, and re-adsorbed. Pt/C MFP90° has also shown the best performance in the PEMFC regarding H2 and CO + H2 experiments.
