DEMS and in-situ FTIR investigations of C3 primary alcohols on platinum electrodes in acid solutions.

Towards an atomistic understanding of electrocatalytic partial hydrocarbon oxidation: propene on palladium

“…Interestingly, a secondary CO 2 peak is observed on the subsequent cathodic scan, as has been observed previously in allyl alcohol stripping experiments. 48,49 A small amount of CO may have also been observed as a desorption product for some of the stripping experiments, but is challenging to quantify due to interference from both propane and CO 2 at its primary mass fragment, m/z=28. In cyclic voltammetry without propene dosing, a much smaller amount (<5% ML) of CO 2 is observed on each anodic sweep and attributed to oxidation of residual carbon contaminations from air.…”

Revealing Structural Effects, Part II: The Influence of Molecular Structure on the Adsorption of Butanol Isomers on Platinum

“…[14][15][16][17][18] On the basis of those studies, conclusions regarding the reactivity of the alcohol group and the influence of the hydrocarbon chain were extracted from the comparison of their electrochemical responses under oxidation and reduction conditions. The compounds studied were, namely, ethanol, [13] 1-propanol, [14] isopropyl alcohol, [15] allyl alcohol (2-propen-1-ol), [16] and propargyl alcohol (2-propyn-1-ol). [17] Thus, both primary and secondary saturated alcohols, as well as unsaturated primary C 3 alcohols, have been investigated.…”

Investigation of Electrosorption of Organic Molecules onto Gold and Nickel Electrodes Using an Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance

“…The electrochemical behaviors of unsaturated alcohols, also of practical interest because of their inhibitory effect (9,10), have been studied (11)(12)(13). However, few studies of 2-butyne-1,4-diol (BD), used as a brightening agent in nickel plating (14,15), have been reported (16).…”
