Electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on carbon ceramic electrode modified by platinum nanoparticles incorporated in poly (o-phenylenediamine) film

Abstract

Carbon ceramic electrode, a new electrode substrate, was prepared by sol–gel procedure and used for the electropolymerization of o-phenylenediamine and incorporation of platinum nanoparticles into the resulting poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PoPD) film. The modified electrode was used for electrooxidation of methanol in 0.3 M H2SO4 as supporting electrolyte. The presence of PoPD film increased considerably the efficiency of deposited Pt nanoparticles toward the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol. The effective parameters on the electrooxidation of methanol, i.e., amounts of polymer and Pt catalyst, medium temperature, working potential limit in anodic direction, and potential scan rate, were investigated, and the results were discussed.
