    摘要: A system for carrying out electrochemical nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (EC-NMR) is disclosed, along with methods of manufacturing the EC-NMR system, and methods of using the EC-NMR system to monitor electrochemical reactions. The system comprises interdigitated electrodes arranged in a cylindrically symmetric manner. The system allows for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to be carried out on a sample during electrolysis with minimal effect to its sensitivity.

    摘要: Provided are electrocatalysts, fuel cells, methods of making fuel cells, and methods of generating an electric current, each featuring a platinum (Pt)-containing substrate in contact with an aqueous solution comprising Pb2+. Electrocatalysts of the invention are formed via underpotential deposition (UPD) when a trace amount of Pb2+ is present in the electrolyte of a half anodic cell for oxidizing formic acid using Pt as the anode. Surprisingly, the UPD process dramatically enhances the activity of formic acid oxidation, at least as much as 10-fold compared with palladium (Pd) black. In an embodiment, the electrocatalyst comprises a Pt-containing substrate, a submonolayer of lead (Pb) adsorbed onto the Pt-containing substrate, and an aqueous solution comprising Pb2+, wherein the concentration of Pb2+ in the aqueous solution is 10 to 500 μm.

    摘要翻译: 本发明提供电催化剂,燃料电池,制造燃料电池的方法以及产生电流的方法,其特征在于包含与含Pb2 +的水溶液接触的含铂(Pt)的基板。 当使用Pt作为阳极氧化甲酸的半阳极电池的电解质中存在微量的Pb 2+时,本发明的电催化剂是通过欠电位沉积(UPD)形成的。 令人惊讶的是,与钯(Pd)黑相比,UPD方法显着提高了甲酸氧化的活性,至少高达10倍。 在一个实施方案中,电催化剂包括含铂基质,吸附在含Pt基质上的铅(Pb)的亚单层和包含Pb 2+的水溶液,其中水溶液中Pb 2+的浓度为10至500μm。
