In this paper, Palladium nanoparticles were electrodeposited on the surface of glassy carbon electrodes by more circles cyclic voltammetry method and Palladium nanoparticles modified electrode (Pd/GCE) was obtained. Morphology and crystal structure of nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The performance and electrochemical process of catalytic oxidation methanol were measured and analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometric curves (i-t) and alternating current impedance spectra (AC impedance) in KOH solution. The results showed that catalytic activity of Pd nanoparticles modified electrode for methanol was over 30 times higher than that of the plate Pd electrode, and catalytic performance was good. In addition, the catalytic oxidation was mainly diffusion-controlled process.

Narrow size distribution Palladium nanoparticles was synthesized by adding Pd precursor into a modified PMHS polymer solution, and then jelled by aluminium. The multi-functional polymer was characterized by NMR; Pd nanoparticle samples were characterized by TEM and catalytic activity was tested in methane partial oxidation reaction.

Small palladium nanoparticles stabilized with phosphine-functionalized PIP displayed high catalytic activity for nitroarenes hydrogenation. Nano-size Pd particles, electron-donation effect of phosphine ligand, and surface wettability account for its excellent catalytic performance.

In this work, we present an experimental microfluidic fuel cell with a novel up-scaled porous electrode architecture that provides higher overall power output compared to conventional microfluidic fuel cells and a methodology for electrode material evaluation to inform designs for improved performance. Our proof-of-concept architecture is an up-scaled version of a previously presented flow-through cell with more than nine times the active electrode surface area. We employed 0.04M formic acid and 0.01M potassium permanganate as fuel and oxidant, respectively, dissolved in a 1M sulfuric acid electrolyte. Platinum black was employed as the catalyst for both anode and cathode. Carbon based porous electrodes including felt, cloth, fibre, and foam were compared to traditional Toray carbon paper in order to characterize their respective performances. We also discussed current densities normalized by electrode volume, which is appropriate for comparison of flow-through architectures. The traditional method of current normalization by projected electrode surface area is also presented.

In this work, an experimental microfluidic fuel cell is presented with a novel up-scaled porous electrode architecture that provides higher available surface area compared to conventional microfluidic fuel cells, providing the potential for higher overall power outputs. Our proof-of-concept architecture is an up-scaled flow-through fuel cell with more than nine times the active electrode surface area of the flow-through architecture first proposed by Kjeang et al. (2008, “A Microfluidic Fuel Cell With Flow-Through Porous Electrodes,” J. Am. Chem. Soc., 130, pp. 4000–4006). Formic acid and potassium permanganate were employed as the fuel and oxidant, respectively, both dissolved in a sulfuric acid electrolyte. Platinum black was employed as the catalyst for both anode and cathode, and the performances of carbon-based porous electrodes including cloth, fiber, and foam were compared to that of traditional Toray carbon paper (TGP-H-120). The effects of catalyst loading were investigated in a microfluidic fuel cell containing 80 pores per linear inch carbon foam electrodes. A discussion is also provided of current density normalization techniques via projected electrode surface area and electrode volume, the latter of which is a highly informative means for comparing flow-through architectures.
