Potential and Current Oscillations During Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Formaldehyde at a Pt Nanoparticles Modified Electrode

Abstract

Abstract: The platinum(Pt) nanoparticles modified titanium electrode was prepared via the method of cathodic reduction followed by anodic oxidation. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) analysis illustrated that Pt nanoparticles were dispersed highly in the three-dimensional pore network of titanium oxide on the surface of this electrode. Not only potential oscillations under galvanostatic conditions but also current oscillations under both cyclic voltammetric and potentiostatic conditions during the formaldehyde(HCHO) oxidation were observed with several different electrochemical methods. This further revealed that the highly-dispersed Pt nanoparticles improved greatly the electrocatalytic activities of electrode, then facilitated the oxidation process of HCHO and its intermediate product so that these were favorable to the production of electrochemical oscillations. Also, many factors such as the concentration of HCHO and H₂SO₄, the applied potential or current were shown to have regular influence on the intensity, region or pattern of oscillations.

Key words: Electrochemical oscillations, Pt nanoparticles modified electrode, Formaldehyde
