Formate, an Active Intermediate for Direct Oxidation of Methanol on Pt Electrode

Chen, Yan Xia, Miki, Atsushi, Ye, Shen, Sakai, Hidetada, Osawa, Masatoshi·2003·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

The electro-oxidation of methanol on a Pt thin film electrode in acidic solution has been investigated by in situ surface-enhanced IR absorption spectroscopy. A new IR peak is observed at around 1320 cm-1 when the electrode potential is more positive than 0.5 V, where the bulk oxidation of MeOH occurs. This peak has been assigned to the symmetric stretching of formate species adsorbed on the Pt electrode surface. It is the first observation of formate adsorption during the electro-oxidation of methanol on a Pt surface. A near proportional relationship between the intensity of the IR band of the formate species and MeOH electro-oxidation current is observed. A new reaction scheme via non-CO pathway with formate as the active intermediate is proposed for the methanol electro-oxidation process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
