Abstract:The oxygen reduction reaction in sulphuric acid on commercial carbon supported platinum and ruthenium catalysts as well as on a home-made carbon supported ruthenium selenide catalysts (RuSe x /C) was investigated. The RuSe x /C catalysts were synthesised using similar procedures to those found in the literature. A dependency of H2O2 formation on the selenium content was found using the thin-film rotating ring disc electrode technique, namely that the H2O2 formation in the typical operation range of a Direct Me… Show more
“…This type of compound has been intensely studied by other groups in the world. [48,[75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83] The ORR analysis on non-supported thin layers of Ru x Se y have generally shown small amounts (< 4 %) of released hydrogen peroxide. [84] The same level was found on carbon-supported material (mass loading of 28 mg cm À2 ).…”

Herein, some chemical approaches to the tailoring of nanodivided materials are highlighted. Transition-metal materials in nanodivided form are essentially devoted to study the electrocatalytic reduction of molecular oxygen (ORR) in acid medium. This Minireview focuses on the physical and chemical structures of platinum-based and non-platinum-based materials. Due to the research dynamism in this field, the discussion is limited to a comprehensive review of ORR cathode materials investigated in the author's laboratory as well as to some relevant work obtained in other laboratories concerning the electrochemical ORR pathway and substrate effects.

Carnot versus Elektrochemie: Dieser Essay wirft einen kritischen Blick auf Methoden zur Energieerzeugung und ‐speicherung auf Basis des Carnot‐Zyklus oder elektrochemischer Prozesse und zeigt die Vor‐ und Nachteile der beiden Alternativen auf (Bild: links: PEM‐Brennstoffzelle, rechts: Au(111)‐Modelloberfläche, dekoriert mit 0.025 Monoschichten Pt). Die Ansichten Ostwalds zur Energiewandlung werden denen der heutigen Gesellschaft gegenübergestellt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
