posted on 2018-10-18, 11:13 authored by Malcolm J. WillarsThe oxidation of methanol at smooth and porous, platinum
and platinum/tin electrocatalysts in sulphuric acid solutions
has been studied. The methods employed include linear sweep
voltammetry and potentiometry at stationary and rotating electrodes.
A microprocessor-based instrumental technique has been
developed, which allows the simultaneous acquisition of steady-state
polarisation data and a.c. impedance measurements. This
system was based around a programmable potential controller used
in conjunction with a frequency response analyser. [Continues.]
