Resumen: | A series of Pt–Sn/C catalysts used as anodes during ethanol oxidation are synthesized by a deposition process using NaBH4 as the reducing agent. The order in which the precursors are added affects the electrocatalytic activity and physical-chemical characteristics of the bimetallic catalysts, where the Pt–Sn catalyst prepared by co-precipitation of both metals functions best below a potential of 0.5 V and the catalyst prepared by sequential deposition of Sn and Pt (drying after Sn addition) is most active above a potential of 0.5 V. The electrochemical behavior of catalysts during ethanol oxidation in an acidic medium are characterized and monitored in a half-cell test at room temperature by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and anode potentiostatic polarization. Catalyst structure and chemical composition are investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This behavior presented for best Pt–Sn catalyst can be attributed to the so-called bifunctional mechanism and to the electronic interaction between Pt and Sn. |
