Electropolymerization of aniline at the graphite electrodes was achieved by potentiodynamic method. Electrodeposition of Pd (C-PANI-Pd) and Ni (C-PANI-Ni) and codeposition of Pd-Ni (C-PANI-Pd-Ni) microparticles into the polyaniline (PANI) film coated graphite (C-PANI) were carried out under galvanostatic control. The morphology and composition of the composite electrodes were obtained using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) techniques. The electrochemical behavior and electrocatalytic activity of the electrode were characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and chronoamperometric (CA) methods in acidic medium. The C-PANI-Pd-Ni electrode showed an improved catalytic performance towards methanol oxidation in terms of lower onset potential, higher anodic oxidation current, greater stability, lower activation energy, and lower charge transfer resistance. The enhanced electrocatalytic activity might be due to the greater permeability of C-PANI films for methanol molecules, better dispersion of Pd-Ni microparticles into the polymer matrixes, and the synergistic effects between the dispersed metal particles and their matrixes.

Ordered mesoporous silica, SBA-15 and MCM-41, and three-dimensionally ordered macroporous SiO2 were used as the supports of H4PMo11VO40 heteropolyacid for methacrolein oxidation. The dispersion and structural evolutions of the heteropolyacid along with thermal treatment were investigated. It was found that the heteropolyacid entered the one-dimensional mesoporous channels of SBA-15 and MCM-41, and the crystallization and growth were limited, leading to high dispersion of the heteropolyacid. However, the thermal stability was decreased under high dispersion. The migration of the heteropolyacid was observed to the end of the one-dimensional channels of SBA-15 and the outer surface of MCM-41 with calcination, accompanied by the decomposition of the heteropolyacid and the formation of MoO3. In comparison, the crystallization and growth of heteropolyacid were not limited in the open macropores of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous SiO2. Dispersed particles on the surface of the macropores with size of about 5 nm exhibited a higher thermal stability. The decomposition of the heteropolyacid in the SBA-15 and MCM-41 supported catalysts resulted in the loss of strong acid sites, causing low selectivity to methacrylic acid in methacrolein oxidation. High thermal stability with high exposure of the active sites in the three-dimensionally ordered macroporous SiO2 supported catalyst contributed to the enhancement in the catalytic performance.
