Synthesis, Characterization of Nanostructured Rhodium Films and their Electrochemical Behavior towards Carbon Monoxide Oxidation

Abstract: Rhodium nanostructured thin film catalysts were prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The depositions were performed under vacuum and at different He background gas pressures ranging from 1 to 5 Torr. SEM, TEM, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to evaluate the morphology, the structure, the surface composition, and the electronic structure of the catalysts. Their electrochemical properties were studied towards CO stripping measurements in acidic solution; a reaction of critical i… Show more

“…We observed the overlapping of Rh 3d 3/2 peak by Pt 4d 5/2 . This could be due to the presence of rhodium oxide species in the sample as observed by Saidani et al 47 XPS results indicate a mixture of metallic and oxide state of Rh, and this mixture was shown to enhance the oxidation of carbon monoxide and could play a role as an oxygen source for CH 3 OH oxidation as explained by Park et al 35 Also the atomic weight percentage composition calculated from XPS analysis confirms a 3:1 ratio of Pt and Rh in the Pt 3 Rh nanocluster.…”

“…There are few reports on the Rh thin films fabricated via pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique (Drogoff et al 1999;Saidani et al 2011). The nanostructured Rh thin films fabricated via PLD technique are reported in this present paper.…”

“…The large nanostructured surface of metallic Rh enhances its catalytic properties (Stempel et al 1998;Masek et al 1995;Dus et al 2008). Besides these, rhodium has potential application in microelectronics (Drogoff et al 1999;Herd et al 1983), gas sensors (Lin et al 2002;Saidani et al 2011) and as a First Mirror (FM) in the optical diagnostics of fusion devices (Marot et al 2007(Marot et al , 2008a.…”
