The oxidation of phenothiazine in dilute solutions of sulphuric acid leads to the corresponding cation radical. Using a potentiometric technique, a pKa value of 5.72 ± 0.05 was determined for phenothiazine. The kinetics has been studied and participation of both protonated and unprotonated oxidant in the oxidation reaction has been confirmed. Using a voltammetric technique with a rotating disk electrode, the anodic oxidation of phenothiazine was shown to be a one-electron diffusion-controlled process. A quantum chemical explanation was found for the direction of phenothiazine protonation and the absence of a dimerization stage of oxidation.

Abstract The development of cost-effective hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells is limited by the lack of high-performance and low-cost anode hydrogen oxidation reaction catalysts. Here we report a Pt-free catalyst Ru7Ni3/C, which exhibits excellent hydrogen oxidation reaction activity in both rotating disk electrode and membrane electrode assembly measurements. The hydrogen oxidation reaction mass activity and specific activity of Ru7Ni3/C, as measured in rotating disk experiments, is about 21 and 25 times that of Pt/C, and 3 and 5 times that of PtRu/C, respectively. The hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell with Ru7Ni3/C anode can deliver a high peak power density of 2.03 W cm−2 in H2/O2 and 1.23 W cm−2 in H2/air (CO2-free) at 95 °C, surpassing that using PtRu/C anode catalyst, and good durability with less than 5% voltage loss over 100 h of operation. The weakened hydrogen binding of Ru by alloying with Ni and enhanced water adsorption by the presence of surface Ni oxides lead to the high hydrogen oxidation reaction activity of Ru7Ni3/C. By using the Ru7Ni3/C catalyst, the anode cost can be reduced by 85% of the current state-of-the-art PtRu/C, making it highly promising in economical hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells.
