The limited performance of platinum-based electrocatalysts for glucose electrooxidation is a major concern fuel cells, since characterized by slow reaction kinetics and low diffusion coefficient. Here, the presented graphene-supported hierarchical nanostructures attain highly enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards oxidation. Platinum nanoparticles electrodeposited on graphene support retain mechanical stability act as junctions allowing reliable, smooth dense growth platinum nanowires...
Determining local concentrations of the analytes in state-of-the-art microreactors is essential for development optimized and safe processes. However, selective, parallel monitoring all relevant reactants products a multianalyte environment challenging. Electrochemical microsensors can provide unique information on reaction kinetics overall performance hydrogen peroxide synthesis process microreactors, thanks to their high spatial temporal resolution ability measure situ, contrast other...
Stability of hierarchical micro- and nanostructured platinum electrodes for non-enzymatic glucose sensors were investigated taking into account the two major aspects stability. The first aspect, loss sensitivity due to poisoning by reaction products was significantly minimized using a potential-step protocol during chronoamperometric electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement, which led significant increase in sensor In second part modification electrode surface potential cycling...
We present an electrochemical microsensor system for the multiparametric detection of dissolved concentrations hydrogen peroxide (H <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> O ) and oxygen (O inside a direct synthesis membrane microreactor. Both reactants are detected with high sensitivity on same Pt-based electrode by changing applied measurement potential in chronoamperometric protocol. The robust integration cell microreactor...
We present an electrochemical microsensor for the monitoring of hydrogen peroxide direct synthesis in a membrane microreactor environment by measuring and oxygen concentrations. In prior work, first time, we performed situ measurements with microsensors setup. However, sensors used were only able to measure at bottom microchannel. Therefore, limited assessment gas distribution concentration change over reaction channel dimensions was possible because dissolved gases entered reactor through...
