Abstract

The oxidation of methanol and C1 molecules was investigated on platinum-modified polyaniline electrodes. It was found that such electrodes are conducting even at 0.0 V vs RHE. They were found to have a higher electrocatalytic activity than bulk platinum electrodes. Moreover, the poisoning effect is drastically decreased as proved by in situ EMIRS studies which show no significant COads signal. Finally, kinetic results show that the methanol electrooxidation is first order with respect to methanol and that the main oxidation product is formaldehyde.
