    Conversão de metano em metanol com co-geração de energia elétrica a partir de catalisadores de paládio suportados em carbono
    2023 - SILVA, ARACELI J.; ZAMBIAZI, PRISCILLA J.; GOMES, PAULO V.R.; NANDENHA, JULIO; GODOI, CAMILA M.; SOUZA, RODRIGO F.B. de; NETO, ALMIR O.; AZEREDO, NATHALIA F.B.
    The application of solid electrolyte reactors for methane oxidation and energy co-generation is attractive, especially with the use of catalysts synthesized from noble metals such as palladium. In this work, we prepared three different compositions of palladium on carbon support to evaluate the composition that had the greatest potential for energy generation. Catalysts in the proportions of 5, 10 and 20% of Pd/C were tested for the conversion of greenhouse gases into organic molecules of higher added value using electrochemical fuel cell solid electrolyte reactors. The focus of this work was the conversion of methane into methanol, using the fuel cell as a reactor and the commercial Pd/C as electrocatalyst. The electrocatalysts were tested at the anode, analyzed by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and their activities verified by experiments with rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE). Higher levels of palladium (Pd/C 20%) favored obtaining electrical power, and the intermediate composition (Pd/C 10%) showed a greater production of less oxidized compounds, such as methanol, in addition to generating electricity.

    Application of binary PdSb/C as an anode in a polymeric electrolyte reactor-fuel cell type for electrosynthesis of methanol from methane
    2022 - GODOI, CAMILA M.; SANTOS, MONIQUE C.L.; NUNES, LIVIA C.; SILVA, ARACELI J.; RAMOS, ANDREZZA S.; SOUZA, RODRIGO F.B. de; NETO, ALMIR O.
    PdSb catalyst prepared in different compositions were applied as an anode in a polymeric electrolyte reactor - fuel cell type (PER-FC) to convert methane into oxygenated products and energy in mild conditions. The PER-FC polarization curves for Pd90Sb10/C presented maximum current density about 0.92 mW cm-2 about 15% higher than PdSb materials. However, the material Pd50Sb50/C showed higher reaction rate for methanol generation than the other materials occurring close to the OCV (r ~ 7 mol L-1 h-1). The qualitative analyses of PER-FC effluent by FT-IR identified products as methanol, carbonate and formate ions from the partial oxidation of methane for all materials.

    Methane conversion to higher value‑added product and energy co‑generation using anodes OF PdCu/C in a solid electrolyte reactor
    2021 - GODOI, C.M.; SANTOS, M.C.L.; SILVA, A.J.; TAGOMORI, T.L.; RAMOS, A.S.; SOUZA, R.F.B. de; OLIVEIRA NETO, A.
    PdxCuy/C catalysts combinations were employed to CH4 partial oxidation in mild condition using a solid electrolyte reactor—alkaline fuel cell type. The differential mass spectroscopy on line method was used to monitor the oxidation products obtained as methanol, dimethyl ether, methyl formate and potassium formate. It was observed that as the electrical potential of the reactor increases, the generation of products decreases. The best results for conversion of methane into methanol and energy co-generation was obtained from Pd90Cu10/ C and Pd50Cu50/ C due to better H2O activation effects and adsorption site for CH4 oxidation.

    Conversion of methane into methanol using the [6,6′-(2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-diyl)bis(1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine)](nitrato-O)copper(II) complex in a solid electrolyte reactor fuel cell type
    2020 - GARCIA, LUIS M.S.; RAJAK, SANIL; CHAIR, KHAOULA; GODOY, CAMILA M.; SILVA, ARACELI J.; GOMES, PAULO V.R.; SANCHES, EDGAR A.; RAMOS, ANDREZZA S.; SOUZA, RODRIGO F.B. de; DUONG, ADAM; NETO, ALMIR O.
    The application of solid electrolyte reactors for methane oxidation to co-generation of power and chemicals could be interesting, mainly with the use of materials that could come from renewable sources and abundant metals, such as the [6,6′- (2, 2′-bipyridine-6, 6′-diyl)bis (1,3,5- triazine-2, 4-diamine)](nitrate-O)copper (II) complex. In this study, we investigated the optimal ratio between this complex and carbon to obtain a stable, conductive, and functional reagent diffusion electrode. The most active Cu-complex compositions were 2.5 and 5% carbon, which were measured with higher values of open circuit and electric current, in addition to the higher methanol production with reaction rates of 1.85 mol L−1 h−1 close to the short circuit potential and 1.65 mol L−1 h−1 close to the open circuit potential, respectively. This activity was attributed to the ability of these compositions to activate water due to better distribution of the Cu complex in the carbon matrix as observed in the rotating ring disk electrode experiments.
