RESUMO

This work shows results of studies of the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) pure in rotation in ultra porous layer and in the presence of CO in the fuel cell to the electrocatalysts of Pt alloy dispersed on oxide substrates such Pt/RuO 2 -C, Pt/RhO 2 -C, Pt/WO 3 -C, Pt/WC-C and pure materials, as RhO 2 /C and WC. The study of the catalytic properties of these materials to elucidate the mechanisms of hydrogen oxidation reaction on these dispersed catalysts, allowing the collection of kinetic parameters of reactions. Together with the electrochemical measurements were carried out studies on the structural and electronic properties of these catalysts, which allow relating their structural and electronic properties with the kinetics of the HOR. It was observed that the presence of oxides of Ru, Rh and WO 3 encourage the reduction of the degree of coating of Pt by CO, leaving more sites available to ROH, as a consequence of emptying of the Pt 5d band, which reduces the backdonation of electrons from Pt to CO by reducing the strength of Pt-CO binding. As noted, these changes observed in electronic spectra of XANES not led to any perceptible change in the kinetics or the reaction mechanism. For almost all catalysts, the CO tolerance can be explained in terms of the electronic effect and the bifunctional mechanism evidenced by the formation of CO 2 in the EMS.
