Abstract
Regularities of ethanol adsorption in alkaline medium on the surface of the monoruthenium Ru/C catalyst and systems promoted by nickel and vanadium oxides, Ru-VOx/C and Ru-NiOx/C, were studied by non-stationary voltammetry techniques. An analysis of the kinetic and concentration dependences of adsorption showed that an increase in the content of the promoting component in the bimetallic systems enhances the energy heterogeneity of the catalyst surface. The data on adsorption measurements were compared with the results of previous studies of the kinetics and depth of ethanol electrooxidation on the examined catalysts. The larger quantity of electricity consumed for the oxidation of adsorbed particles formed on the surface of the metallooxide systems corresponds to higher extents of electrooxidation and rate than those for the monoruthenium catalyst.
