Adsorption processes on a Pd monolayer-modified Pt(111) electrode† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c9sc05307g

ABSTRACT: Specific adsorption of anions is an important aspect in surface electrochemistry for its influence on reaction kinetics in either a promoted or inhibited fashion. Perchloric acid is typically considered as an ideal electrolyte for investigating electrocatalytic reactions due to the lack of specific adsorption of the perchlorate anion on several metal electrodes. In this work, cyclic voltammetry and computational methods are combined to investigate the interfacial processes on a Pd monolayer deposited on Pt(111) single crystal electrode in perchloric acid solution. The “hydrogen region” of this PdMLPt(111) surface exhibits two voltammetric peaks: the first “hydrogen peak” at 0.246 VRHE actually involves the replacement of hydrogen by hydroxyl, and the second “hydrogen peak” HII at 0.306 VRHE appears to be the replacement of adsorbed hydroxyl by specific perchlorate adsorption. The two peaks merge into a single peak when a more strongly adsorbed anion, such as sulfate, is involved. Our density functional theory calculations qualitatively support the peak assignment and show that anions generally bind more strongly to the PdMLPt(111) surface than to Pt(111). Specific adsorption of anions is an important aspect in surface electrochemistry for its influence on reaction kinetics in either a promoted or inhibited fashion.

Project description:The strong adsorption capacity of methane in anthracite can seriously affect the methane extraction. Electrochemical treatment is an effective way to weaken the capacity of methane adsorption in coal. Iron, copper, aluminum and graphite as four kinds of electrode materials were selected to modify anthracite by electrochemical treatment. The adsorption of methane in anthracite, before and after modification, was tested under different adsorption pressure. Based on the changes of pore characteristics and chemical groups of anthracite, the modification process of different electrode materials was analyzed. The results showed that after electrochemical modification, the adsorption of methane decreased, when the graphite electrode was used, the methane adsorption decreases the most, followed by copper and iron electrodes, and the aluminum electrode decreased the least. After electrochemical modification using aluminum, iron, copper and graphite electrodes, the Langmuir constant a reduced by 5.22%, 8.48%, 9.24% and 11.33%, respectively, and the degree of reduction is graphite > copper > iron > aluminum. After electrochemical modification using the graphite electrode, the Langmuir constant b was reduced by 23.52%. On the contrary, after electrochemical modification using the mental electrodes, the Langmuir constant b was increased by about 5%. The surface free energy of anthracite decreased with the adsorption of CH4, the higher the pressure, the more the free energy decreased, and the reduction of surface energy decreased after electrochemical modification. The difference of the electrode reactions was the main reason for the electrochemical results, the Mn+ ions generated in the anode changed the properties of the clay mineral in the coal, and the H+ ions corroded the calcite minerals in the coal. The results obtained from this work indicate that the selection of electrode materials is crucial for the electrochemical modification, and graphite electrode is optimum for anthracite when accelerating methane extraction by electrochemical method.
