몇 가지 점토광물과 메틸바이올로젠 또는 메틸렌블루를 함유시킨 점토수식전극을 이용하여 산소환원에 대한 전기화학적 촉매성을 검토하였다. 점토광물로는 Na-몬모릴로나이트, Ca-몬모릴로나이트, 카오리나이트를 사용하였다. 점토수식전극은 유리탄소전극 표면에 점토 현탁액을 입히고 메틸바이올로젠을 흡착시킨 것을 사용하였으며, 전기화학적 산소환원의 정도는 순환 전압전류법(cyclic voltammetry)으로 측정하였다. 실험결과, 다른 점토시료에 비하여 Na-몬모릴로나이트가 메틸바이올로젠의 흡착효과가 가장 크게 나타났고, 메틸바이올로젠을 흡착시킨 점토수식전극이 산소환원에 대한 촉매성이 월등히 우수하였다. 즉 촉매산소환원 피크가 242.6 mV 만큼 +방향으로 이동하였다. 메틸바이올로젠을 흡착시킨 점토수식전극이 메틸렌블루를 흡착시킨 점토수식전극보다 산소환원에 대한 촉매성이 더 높게 나타났다. Ca-몬모릴로나이트의 경우는 변화가 없었으나 Na-몬모릴로나이트의 구조는 메틸바이올로젠의 흡착으로 변화되었다. 메틸바이올로젠- Na-몬모릴로나이트 점토수식전극은 현탁액의 점토 농도가 약 0.87 g/10 mL이고. 메틸바이올로젠의 수용액의 농도가 대략 2.5 mM일 때 산소환원 촉매 효과가 가장 탁월하였다. 지지전해질의 pH에 따른 점토수식 전극의 산소 환원 촉매성은 중성의 pH 범위(6.3과 8.3)에서보다 산성인 pH 3.7과 알칼리성인 pH 12.7에서 월등히 크게 나타났다.

안티몬이 첨가된 산화주석 얇은막 전극의 반도체적 성질을 조사하고 이산화황의 산화반응에 대한 이 전극의 전기화학적 촉매작용을 여러가지 조건하에서 조사하였다. $SO_2$(또는 아황산염)를 포함하는 전해질 용액의 pH가 증가함에 따라 점차로 낮은 전위에서 산화가 일어났으며 이 전극은 염기성 용액에서 $SO_3^=$의 산화에 대하여 뚜렷한 전기촉매 작용을 나타내었으며 이 전기촉매 작용은 백금이나 팔라듐 전극의 촉매작용과는 다른 특성을 보여주었다. 백금이나 팔라듐이 이 전극에 첨가된 경우에는 이들 금속이 전극표면에 노출된 양에 비례하는 효과만이 나타났다.

산화 이리듐은 물의 산화반응에 대해 좋은 전기촉매 물질로서 많은 연구가 이루어 지고 있다. 최근 전기화학적 증폭방법을 이용하여 산화 이리듐 나노입자의 개별적인 촉매특성을 연구한 결과를 보면 촉매반응에 의한 전류가 지속적으로 유지되지 않고 시간에 따라 감소하는 결과가 얻어 졌다. 이러한 촉매특성의 사라짐에 대한 원인을 규명하고자 사이즈가 큰 이리듐전극을 산화시킨 산화이리듐 전극에서 물의 산화반응을 진행시켰다. 그 결과 나노입자에서와 유사하게 전류가 감소하는 현상이 관찰되었다. 큰 전극에서의 실험에서는 발생하는 산소방울을 관찰 할 수 있었는데 산소방울의 발생 주기가 전류의 증감주기와 일치하는 것으로 보아 전류의 감소는 산소방울에 의한 버블 과전압 때문으로 생각된다.

In the present study, the effect of chemical treatment on graphite nanofibers (GNFs) supports with various concentrated nitric acids was investigated for methanol oxidation. To optimize the electrocatalytic activity, PtRu catalysts were deposited on GNF supports by impregnation method. The surface and structural properties of the GNF supports were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), element analyzer (EA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of the catalysts was observed by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electrocatalytic activity of PtRu/GNF catalysts was investigated by cyclic voltammetry measurement. As a result, the oxygen functional groups were introduced on the GNF supports and were gradually increased with increasing of concentrated nitric acid, causing the smaller particle size and higher loading level. And the electrocatalytic activity of the catalysts for methanol oxidation was gradually improved. Consequently, it was found that chemical treatments could influence on surface properties of the carbon supports, resulting in enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of the catalysts for DMFCs.

Recently, the observation of the electrocatalytic behavior of individual nanoparticles (NPs) by electrochemical amplification method has been reported. For example, the Iridium oxide ($IrO_x$) NP collision on the Pt UME was observed via electrocatalytic water oxidation. However, the bare Pt UME had poor reproducibility for the observation of NP collision signal and required an inconvenient surface pre-treatment for the usage. In this manuscript, we has been investigated other metal electrode such as Cu UME for the reproducible data analysis and convenient use. The $IrO_x$ NP collision was successively observed on the bare Cu UME and the reproducibility in collision frequency was improved comparing with previous case using the $NaBH_4$ pre-treated Pt UME. Also, the adhesion coefficient between NP and the Cu UME was studied for better understanding of the single NP collision system.

Electrocatalytic reduction of dioxygen has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry at glassy carbon electrode modified with new Co(II)-Schiff base complexes in aqueous solutions of various pH. The reduction potentials of dioxygen at chemically adsorbed electrodes show the dependence of pH between pH 4 and 14. The catalytic effect is large and the reaction occurs via two or four electron transfer in various pH solution.

The application of poly(Co(II)-(1,8-diaminonaphthalene))(poly(Co-DAN)) and poly(1,8-diaminonaphthalene) (Poly(1,8-DAN)) to the electrocatalytic reduction of molecular oxygen was investigated, which were electrochemically grown by the potential cycling method on the glassy carbon electrodes. The reduction of oxygen at the polymer and its metal complex polymer coated electrodes were irreversible and diffusion controlled. The Poly(1,8-DAN) and Poly(Co-DAN) films revealed the potential shifts for the oxygen reduction to 30 mV and 110 mV, respectively, in an aqueous solution, compared with that of the bare electrode. Hydrodynamic voltammetry with a rotating ring-disk electrode showed that Poly(1,8-DAN) and Poly(Co-DAN) coated electrodes converted respectively 84% and 22% of $O_2$ to $H_2O$ via a four electron reduction pathway.

The electrocatalytic reduction of molecular oxygen was investigated with a Co(II)-glyoxal bis(2-hydroxyanil) complex coated-glassy carbon (GC) electrode in aqueous media. The reduction of $O_2$ at the modified electrode was an irreversible and diffusion-controlled reaction. The complex coated-GC electrode demonstrated an excellent electrocatalytic effect for $O_2$ reduction in an acetate buffer solution of pH 3.2. The coated electrode made the $O_2$ reduction potential shift of 60-510 mV in a positive direction compared to the bare GC electrode depending on pH. The Co(II)-glyoxal bis(2-hydroxyanil) coated electrode converted about 51% of the $O_2$ to $H_2O_2$ via a two-electron reduction pathway, with the balance converted to H_2O$.

New water soluble and highly electron deficient cobalt(II) tetrakis-(1,2,5,6-tertrafluoro-4-NN'N"-trimethyla-nilinium)-β-octabromoporphyrin [Co II (Br8TTFP)(Y)2] was synthesized and used for the electrocatalytic reduction of dioxygen. The first reduction of synthesized [Co II (Br8TTFP)(Y)2] involves one electron process to give metal centered [Co I (Br8TTFP)(Y)2]. The reduction of potential [E1/2 = -0.32 V] of [Co II (Br8TTFP)(Y)2] shifts positively 370 mV compared with that of [Co II (TTFP)(Y)2] due to the substituted bromide to β-pyrrole positions. The electrochemically reduced [Co I (Br8TTFP)(Y)2] binds dioxygen and catalytically reduces it to HOOH by 2e - transfer. Cyclic and hydrodynamic voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode in dioxygen-saturated aqueous solutions are used to study the electrocatalytic pathway.

A facile, seed-mediated preparation method of trimetallic Au@Pb@Pt core-shell nanoparticles is developed. Au nanoparticles are the template seeds onto which sequentially reduced Pb and Pt are deposited. The trimetallic core-shell structure is confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, TEM and EDS analysis, and cyclic voltammetry. The trimetallic Au@Pb@Pt core-shell nanoparticles show high electrocatalytic activity for formic acid and methanol electrooxidation.
