ملخص

Nickel carbonate was deposited electrochemically on Pt and Pd electrode surfaces by chronoamperometry. The electrodeposited Ni2(CO3)3/Pt was characterized by a variety of techniques. The electrodeposited Ni2(CO3)3/Pt and Ni2(CO3)3/Pd were subsequently used for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical methanol oxidation reactions. The methanol oxidation reaction was studied using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques in the presence of KOH and Na2CO3 media. The electrochemically deposited Ni2(CO3)3 on Pt and Pd electrodes showed enhanced activity towards methanol oxidation in KOH and Na2CO3 electrolytes. Ni2(CO3)3/Pt displayed the highest forward scan peak current density of 19.8 mA cm−2 at an anodic potential of 0.08 V vs. NHE, whereas Ni2(CO3)3/Pd displayed the forward scan peak current density of 5.2 mA cm−2 at an anodic potential of 0.2 V vs. NHE in KOH medium. Additionally, Ni2(CO3)3/Pt and Ni2(CO3)3/Pd demonstrated good photoelectrochemical activity under UV-light irradiation in KOH and Na2CO3 media. An anodic peak current density of 24.1 mA cm−2 was observed for Ni2(CO3)3/Pt and 7.4 mA cm−2 for the Ni2(CO3)3/Pd electrode. The comparison in activity of the Pt and Pd electrodes and the first-row transition metal carbonates namely cobalt and nickel carbonates was suggestive of the superior activity of Ni2(CO3)3/Pt and Ni2(CO3)3/Pd catalysts for the electrochemical methanol oxidation reaction.
