Abstract

A high surface area, nanostructured bimetallic oxide catalyst, Ir0.5Pt0.5O2, deposited on YSZ was studied for the electrochemical promotion of ethylene oxidation. The catalyst was synthesized using the modified Adams fusion method and was characterized regarding its structure, morphology and specific surface area via XPS, XRD, HRTEM, SEM and BET. Regarding the performance for electrochemical promotion, it was found that the rate of ethylene oxidation can be enhanced significantly and in a strongly non-faradaic manner via positive potential application, exhibiting strongly electrophobic behaviour.
