RESUMO
This work shows results of studies regarding the effects of pH and atmosphere of the synthesis on the electrocatalytic properties of Pt/C, Ru/C and PtRu/C materials for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in the presence of CO. The performance of these materials were compared for distinct eletrodic configurations of Pt/C + Ru/C physical mixtures, to characterize the role of each catalyst on the CO tolerance mechanisms, the phenomena of anodic potential oscillations, and the transient methane production, particularly for Ru/C. Comparisons of kinetic simulation data with experimental results were carried out for CO stripping voltammetry and gasexchange results, in order to discuss the CO oxidation and reduction processes, as well as the mechanisms of the HOR electrocatalysis. The CO tolerance effects were clearly observed for all Pt/C-Ru/C electrocatalytic systems, with the PtRu/C and Ru/C materials synthesized under reductive atmosphere (H2) showing the highest activity and the performance of the Pt/C materials shows large dependence on the pH and the synthesis atmosphere. For the electrodes with Pt/C + Ru/C physical mixtures the CO tolerance properties was discussed in terms of the effect of Ru on the electronic properties of Pt, which affects the CO adsorption/desorption process in the Pt sites. The results of the kinetic simulations were useful to understand the CO oxidation processes and to show that the accepted mechanism for the Pt/C material needs some revision regarding the nature of the active species participating in the reaction. The results of the simulations of the gas exchange responses for methane production agree well with the experiments, also evidencing that the effects of the electrochemical variables occurs directly over the CO hydrogenation step.
