AB  - Mesoporous silica SBA-15 materials of high specific surface area (similar to 700 m(2) g(-1)) were synthesized by using block copolymer Pluronic P123 as template and tetraethoxysilane as silica source. The obtained materials were characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption desorption measurements, SEM, EDS and AFM analysis. It was found that small modifications of synthesis conditions influenced the morphological features of the synthesized SBA-15 samples. The SEM analysis had shown that the SBA-15 synthesized at lower temperature and longer time of reaction (80 degrees C, 48 h) provided elongated rod-shaped grains about 1 mu m long. The other sample synthesized at higher temperature and shorter time of reaction (100 degrees C, 24 h) had rounded grains and grains of regular spherical shape with diameters ranging from 0.5 to 2 mu m. The EDS analysis confirmed that the particles of both synthesized samples were of the SiO2 content. In addition, the AFM analysis had shown different surface morphologies of the materials synthesized under various conditions.

AB  - TiO2 nanopowders were produced by sol-gel technique using TiCl4 as a starting material. For the preparation of crystalline anatase with developed surface area, this aqueous solution has been mixed with 0.05 M or 0.07 M (NH4)(2)SO4 solution in a temperature-controlled bath. The pH values of the suspension were 7, 8 or 9. According to the x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis the anatase crystallite sizes were about 12 nm, which coincided with the average particle size revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Raman scattering measurements have shown the presence of a small amount of highly disordered brookite phase in addition to dominant anatase phase with similar nanostructure in all synthesized powders. BET measurements revealed that all synthesized catalysts were fully mesoporous, except the sample synthesized with 0.07 M (NH4)(2)SO4 at pH=9, which had small amount of micropores. The photocatalytic degradation of herbicide Clomazone was carried out for both the pure active substance and as the commercial product (GAMIT 4-EC) under UV irradiation. The best photocatalytic efficiency was obtained for the catalyst with the largest specific surface area, confirming this parameter as crucial for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of the pure active substance and commercial product of herbicide Clomazone.

AB  - In this work, Zn(CH3 COO)(2) 2 H-2 O with AgNO3 content from 0 to 6 mol% was solvothermally treated at 120 C for 18 h in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), ethylene glycol and sodium hydroxide. The structural , microstructural and photocatalytic properties of the unmodified and Ag modified ZnO powders have been investigated by the XRPD, FESEM, TEM, UV-vis, Raman and BET techniques. The Ag modified samples consist of ZnO nanocrystals and metallic Ag on the surface. The average crystallite size of all samples was about 20 nm. The FESEM revealed the uniformity in size and approximately spherical shape of ZnO nanopar-ticles. The BET data suggest that all prepared samples are mesoporous. All prepared samples showed higher photocatalytic efficiency in the degradation of the Reactive Orange 16 (RO16) azo dye than the commercial ZnO. In addition, Ag modified ZnO powders, especially those with 1.5 and 0.75 mol% of Ag, were more efficient than the unmodified one.

AB  - The titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowders were produced by sol-gel technique from tetrabutyl titanate as a precursor, varying the temperature of calcination (from 500 to 550 degrees C with the step of 10 degrees C). XRPD results have shown that all synthesized nanopowders are dominantly in anatase phase. The analysis of the shift and linewidth of the most intensive anatase E-g Raman mode confirmed the XRPD results and added the presence of small amount of highly disordered brookite phase in all samples. The analysis of pore structure from nitrogen sorption experimental data described all samples as mesoporous, with mean pore diameters in the range of 1.5 and 4.5 nm. Nanopowder properties have been related to the photocatalytic activity, tested in degradation of the textile dye (C.I. Reactive Orange 16). The sample calcined at temperature of 510 degrees C showed the best photocatalytic performance.

AB  - A series of four different powders ceria doped Ce1-xErxO2-delta (0.05  lt = x  lt = 0.20) were synthesized by applying self-propagating reaction at room temperature (SPRT method). SPRT procedure is based on the self-propagating room temperature reaction between metal nitrates and sodium hydroxide, wherein the reaction is spontaneous and terminates extremely fast. The method is known to assure very precise stoichiometry of the final product in comparison with a tailored composition. XRPD, Raman spectroscopy, TEM and BET measurements were used to characterize the nanopowders at room temperature. It was shown that all obtained powders were single phase solid solutions with a fluorite-type crystal structure and all powder particles have nanometric size (about 3-4 nm). Densification was performed at 1550 degrees C, in an air atmosphere for 2 h. XRPD, SEM and complex impedance method measurements were carried out on sintered samples. Single phase form was evidenced for each sintered materials. The best value of conductivity at 700 degrees C amounted to 1.10 x 10(-2) Omega(-1) cm(-1) for Ce0.85Er0.O-3(2-delta) sample. Corresponding activation energies of conductivity amounted to 0.28 eV in the temperature range 500-700 degrees C.

AB  - A platinum nanocatalyst on Sb doped tin oxide support (Sb-SnO2) was synthesized and characterized as a catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction in 0.1 mol dm(-3) NaOH solution at 25 degrees C. Sb (5%) doped tin oxide support was synthesized by a modified hydrazine reduction procedure. The platinum nanocatalyst (20% Pt) on Sb-SnO2 support was synthesized by a borohydride reduction method. The synthesized support and catalyst were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was applied to characterize the chemical status of elements before and after Pt-treatment. XPS spectra of Sn 3d, Pt 4f, Sb 3d and O 1s revealed that the Pt-deposition on Sb-SnO2 support induced the reduction of the Sn(4+) oxidation state to Sn(2+) and Sn(0) states, while Pt remained in the metallic state and Sb was in the (3+) oxidation state. Homogenous Pt nanoparticle distribution over the support, without pronounced particle agglomeration, was confirmed by HRTEM technique. The average Pt particle size was 2.9 nm. The electrochemically active Pt surface area of the catalyst was determined by the integration of the cyclic voltammetry curve in the potential region of underpotential deposition of hydrogen, after double layer charge correction, taking into account the reference value of 210 mu C cm(-2) for full monolayer coverage. This calculation gave the value of 51 m(2) g(-1). The kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction with Pt/[Sb-SnO2 catalyst was studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry using a rotating gold disc electrode. Two different Tafel slopes were observed: one close to 60 mV dec(-1) in the low current density region, and another at similar to 120 mV dec(-1) in the higher current densities region, as was already referred in previous reports for the oxygen reduction reaction with polycrystalline Pt, as well as with different Pt based nanocatalysts. The specific activities for oxygen reduction, expressed in terms of kinetic current densities per electrochemically Pt active surface area, as well as per mass of Pt loaded, at the constant potential of practical interest (0.85 V and 0.90 V vs. RHE), were compared to a carbon supported (Vulcan XC-72) catalyst. The Pt/[Sb-SnO2 catalyst exhibited similar catalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction like carbon supported one. The advantages of the carbon free support application in terms of the durability and stability of the catalysts were proved by accelerated stability tests.

AB  - Ruthenium oxide/titanium oxide, with a Ru:Ti atomic ratio of 7:3 was synthesized by modified sol-gel procedure and used as a support for platinum nanocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction. The synthesized materials were characterized in terms of morphology, particle size distribution, chemical and phase composition by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high angle annular dark filed scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF, STEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). XPS spectra revealed that Ru atoms were in mainly in Ru(4+) oxidation state, the Ti atoms in Ti(4+) oxidation state, whereas the Pt-atoms were in metallic state. TEM analysis proved that platinum nanoparticles nucleated at both oxide species and homogeneous distribution was observed. The average platinum nanoparticle size was 3.05 nm. Electrochemically active surface area of platinum was 32 m(2) g(-1). Kinetics of the oxygen reduction was studied at rotating disc electrode in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4 solution, at 25 degrees C.

AB  - Fine tungsten carbide (WC) powder was prepared by solid state reaction between tungsten powder (W) and activated carbon cloth as a new carbon (C) source. The effect of temperature and time of heat treatment as well as the effect of C/W ratio on WC phase formation was studied. The results obtained by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) show that obtained powder is single WC. Microstructure and morphology was determinate by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method was used for examining specific surface area and texture of obtained powders. It was found that WC powder was successfully synthesized in excess carbon after eight-hour heat treatment at relatively low temperature (1000 degrees C).

AB  - Two binary Ru-Ti oxides, Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2, were synthesized by the sol-gel method and used as an electrocatalyst support. The system was characterized by XRD, EDS, TEM and cyclic voltammetry. The Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 consist of two phases of anatase and rutile structure. An average size of the Pt nanoparticles supported on them is similar to 3.5 nm and they are deposited on both Ru and Ti-rich domains. The supports exhibited good conductivity and electrochemical stability. The onset potentials of COads oxidation on the synthesized catalysts and on commercial PtRu/C are similar to each other and lower than that on Pt/C. This suggests that in Pt/Rum Ti0.9O2 and Pt/Ru0(.7)Ti(0.3)O(2) the Pt nanoparticles are in close contact with Ru atoms from the support, which enables the bifunctional mechanism. The activity and stability of the catalysts for methanol oxidation were examined under potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions. While the activity of Pt/Rum Ti0.9O2 is unsatisfactory, the performance of Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 is comparable to PtRu/C. For example, in the potentiostatic test at 0.5 V the activities after 25 min are 0.035 mA cm(-2) and 0.022 mA cm(-2) for Pt/Ru0.7Ti0.3O2 and PtRu/C, respectively. In potentiodynamic test the activities at 0.5V after 250 cycles are around 0.02 mA cm(-2) for both catalysts.

AB  - The oxygen reduction reaction was studied at Pt nanocatalysts on two different tin oxide based supports, Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, in acid solution. Tin oxide based supports were synthesized by hydrazine reduction method. Physical characterization of the supports was performed by BET, X-ray diffraction and TEM techniques. SnO2 belonging peaks were detected in Sb-SnO2 powder, while Ru-SnO2 XRD diffraction patterns contained peaks of RuO2 and SnO2. The average crystallite sizes, determined by Scherrer equation, were 3 nm and 4 nm for Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, respectively. Pt catalysts on Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2 supports were synthesized by borohydride reduction method. TEM analysis revealed homogeneous particle size distribution, with average particle size of 2.9 and 5.4 nm, for Sb-SnO2 and Ru-SnO2, respectively. Electrocatalytic activity and stability of these catalysts for oxygen reduction were studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disk electrode (RDE). Pt catalysts on Sb and Ru doped SnO2 support exhibited catalytic activities comparable to Pt on commercial carbon based support. Stability tests were also performed. Determined small loss of electrochemical active surface area of the Pt catalyst on Sb doped tin oxide support, after repetitive cycling, indicated high stability and durability of this cathode for-prospective fuel cells application.

AB  - Dense Ce0.8Sm0.1Gd0.1O2-delta electrolytes were fabricated by sintering of CeO2 solid solutions which were prepared from metal nitrates and NaOH using self propagating room temperature synthesis (SPRT). Three different routes were employed to obtain CeO2 solid solution powders: (I) hand mixing of reactants, (II) ball milling of reactants and (III) ball milling of Ce0.8Sm0.2O2-delta and Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-delta solid solutions previously prepared by ball milling of corresponding nitrates and NaOH. Density measurements showed that ball milling, which is more convenient than hand mixing, is an effective way to obtain almost full dense samples after presureless sintering at 1550 degrees C for 1 h. These samples had larger grain size and consequently higher conductivity than the samples obtained by hand mixing. The highest conductivity of 2.704 x 10(-2) (Omega cm)(-1) was measured at 700 degrees C in a sample prepared by route II. It was found that reduced grain size in samples obtained by hand mixing leads to a decrease in grain boundary conductivity and therefore decrease in the total conductivity. The results showed that mixing of single doped ceria solid solutions improved densification and inhibited grain growth.

abstract = "Dense Ce0.8Sm0.1Gd0.1O2-delta electrolytes were fabricated by sintering of CeO2 solid solutions which were prepared from metal nitrates and NaOH using self propagating room temperature synthesis (SPRT). Three different routes were employed to obtain CeO2 solid solution powders: (I) hand mixing of reactants, (II) ball milling of reactants and (III) ball milling of Ce0.8Sm0.2O2-delta and Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-delta solid solutions previously prepared by ball milling of corresponding nitrates and NaOH. Density measurements showed that ball milling, which is more convenient than hand mixing, is an effective way to obtain almost full dense samples after presureless sintering at 1550 degrees C for 1 h. These samples had larger grain size and consequently higher conductivity than the samples obtained by hand mixing. The highest conductivity of 2.704 x 10(-2) (Omega cm)(-1) was measured at 700 degrees C in a sample prepared by route II. It was found that reduced grain size in samples obtained by hand mixing leads to a decrease in grain boundary conductivity and therefore decrease in the total conductivity. The results showed that mixing of single doped ceria solid solutions improved densification and inhibited grain growth.",

AB  - Ru-doped SnO2 powder, (RuxSn1-x)O-2, with a Sn:Ru atomic ratio of 9:1 was synthesized and used as a support for Pt nanoparticles (30 mass % loading). The (RuxSn1-x)O-2 support and the Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction measurements, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The (RuxSn1-x)O-2 was found to be a two-phase material consisting of probably a solid solution of RuO2 in SnO2 and pure RuO2. The average Pt particle size determined by TEM was 5.3 nm. Cyclic voltammetry of Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 indicated good conductivity of the support and displayed the usual features of Pt. The results of the electrochemical oxidation of COad, and methanol on Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 were compared with those on commercial Pt/C and PtRu/C catalysts. Oxidation of COads on Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 starts at lower positive potentials than on PtRu/C and Pt/C. Potentiodynamic polarization curves and chronoamperometric curves of methanol oxidation indicated higher initial activity of the Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 catalyst compared to PtRu/C, but also a greater loss in current density over time. A potentiodynamic stability test of the catalysts revealed that deactivation of Pt/(RuxSn1-x)O-2 and Pt/C was primarily caused by poisoning of the Pt surface by residues of methanol oxidation, which mostly occurred during the first potential cycle. In the case of PtRu/C, the poisoning of the surface was minor and deactivation was caused by surface area loss of the PtRu.

AB  - Platinum nanocatalysts on two tungsten based supports have been synthesized and characterized as catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4 solution, at 25 degrees C. Tungsten based support assigned WCctabr has been synthesized by polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde in the presence of CTABr surfactant. Support assigned WCwo(3) was synthesized from resorcinol/formaldehyde gel, using WO3 nanoparticles as starting material. Supporting materials have been characterized by BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller) technique and determined values of surface area were 80 m(2) g(-1) for WCctabr and 175 m(2) g(-1) for WCWO3. Platinum nanocatalysts (10% Pt) at tungsten based supports have been prepared by borohydride reduction method. Both synthesized supports and catalysts have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) techniques. Cyclic voltammetry was applied for determination of electrochemically active surface area (40 m2 g(-1) for Pt/WCWO3 and 55 m(2) g(-1) for Pt/WCctabr). Oxygen reduction reaction has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disc electrode (RDE). These catalysts exhibited better catalytic activity, expressed in terms of kinetic current density per real surface area at the constant potential and better stability, in comparison with Pt/C catalyst, as well as with already reported catalytic activity values for Pt catalysts on tungsten based supports.

AB  - Platinum nanocatalyst at nano-tungsten carbide was synthesized, characterized and tested for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.1 mol dm(-3) NaOH, at 25 degrees C. Tungsten-carbide islands on nano-tungsten particles (WC) was synthesized from gel prepared by using nanoparticles of WO3, previously produced from W-powder oxidized in H2O2. The support was porous material with high specific surface area (177 m(2)g(-1)). The WC supported Pt (10 wt.%) catalyst was prepared by borohydride reduction method. X-ray diffraction of the catalyst demonstrates successful reduction of Pt precursor to metallic form. STEM analysis of Pt/WC catalyst showed the existence of Pt particles lower than 2 nm in size, even the clusters of Pt atoms. Electrochemically active surface area of Pt was determined from adsorption/desorption charge of hydrogen atoms. Catalytic activity of the synthesized catalyst for ORR was studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disk electrode. The onset potential on Pt/WC for ORR, comparing with Pt/Vulcan, was shifted to the positive potentials for about 150 mV. Pt/WC catalyst shows one Tafel slope of -0.105 V dec(-1), remarkable catalytic activity expressed either through the value of the current density per real surface area, or through the mass activity and excellent stability.

AB  - The kinetics of the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) was studied at Pt nanoparticles supported on niobia-doped titania (Pt/N-T). The catalyst support, with the composition of 0.05NbO(2.5-delta)-0.995TiO(2) (0  lt  delta  lt  1), was synthesized by a modified sol gel procedure and characterized by the BET and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The specific surface area of the support was found to be 70 m(2) g(-1). The XRD analysis revealed the presence of the anatase TiO(2) phase in the support powder. No peaks indicating the existence of Nb-compounds were detected. Pt/N-T nanocatalyst was synthesized by the borohydride reduction method. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a quite homogenous distribution of the Pt nanoparticles over the support, with a mean particle size of about 3 nm. The electrochemical active surface area of Pt of 42 +/- 14 m(2) g(-1) was determined by the cyclic voltammetry technique. The kinetics of the HOR was investigated by linear sweep voltammetry at a rotating disc electrode in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO(4) solution. The determined value of the Tafel slope of 35 mV dec(-1) and an exchange current density of 0.45 mA cm(-2) per real surface area of the Pt are in good accordance with those already reported in the literature for the HOR at polycrystalline Pt and Pt nanocatalysts in acid solutions. This new catalyst exhibited better activity for the HOR in comparison with Pt nanocatalyst supported on Vulcan (R) XC-72R high area carbon.

AB  - Platinum based nanocatalyst at home made Nb-TiO2 support was synthesized and characterized as the catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction in 0.1 mol dm(-3) NaOH, at 25 degrees C. Nb doped TiO2 catalyst support, containing 5% of Nb, has been synthesized by modified acid-catalyzed sol-gel procedure in non-aqueous medium. BET and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were applied for characterization of synthesized supporting material. XRD analysis revealed only presence of anatase TiO2 phase in synthesized support powder. Existence of any peaks belonging to Nb compounds has not been observed, indicating Nb incorporated into the lattice. Nb-TiO2 supported Pt nanocatalyst synthesized, using borohydride reduction method, was characterized by TEM and HRTEM techniques. Platinum nanoparticles distribution, over Nb doped TiO2 support, was quite homogenous. Mean particle size of about 4 nm was found with no pronounced particle agglomeration. Electrochemical techniques: cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at rotating disc electrode were applied in order to study kinetics and estimate catalytic activity of this new catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline solution. Two different Tafel slopes were found: one close to -90 mV dec(-1) in low current density region and other approximately 200 my dec(-1) in high current density region, which is in good accordance with literature results for oxygen reduction at Pt single crystals, as well as Pt nanocatalysts in alkaline solutions. Similar specific catalytic activity (expressed in term of kinetic current density per real surface area) of Nb(5%)-TiO2/Pt catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction in comparison with the carbon supported platinum (Vulcan/Pt) nanocatalyst, was found.

AB  - In order to point out the effect of the support to the catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction nano-crystalline Nb-doped TiO2 was synthesized through a modified sol-gel route procedure. The specific surface area of the support, S-BET, and pore size distribution, were calculated from the adsorption isotherms using the gravimetric McBain method. The support was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The borohydride reduction method was used to prepare Nb-TiO2 supported Pt (20 wt.%) catalyst. The synthesized catalyst was analyzed by TEM technique. Finally, the catalytic activity of this new catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction was investigated in acid solution, in the absence and the presence of methanol, and its activity was compared towards the results on C/Pt catalysts. Kinetic analysis reveals that the oxygen reduction reaction on Nb-TiO2/Pt catalyst follows four-electron process leading to water, as in the case of C/Pt electrode, but the Tafel plots normalized to the electrochemically active surface area show very remarkable enhancement in activity of Nb-TiO2/Pt expressed through the value of the current density at the constant potential. Moreover, Nb-TiO2/Pt catalyst exhibits higher methanol tolerance during the oxygen reduction reaction than the C/Pt catalyst. The enhancement in the activity of Nb-TiO2/Pt is consequence of both: the interactions of Pt nanoparticles with the support and the energy shift of the surface d-states with respect to the Fermi level what changes the surface reactivity.

AB  - The kinetics and mechanism of the hydrogen oxidation reaction were studied in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4 solution on an electrode based on titanium oxide with Magneli phase structure-supported platinum electrocatalyst applied on rotation Au disk electrode. Pt catalyst was prepared by impregnation method from 2-propanol solution of Pt(NH3)(2)(NO2)(2) and sub-stoichiometric titanium oxide powder. Sub-stiochiometric titanium oxide Support was characterized by X-ray diffraction and BET techniques. The synthesized catalyst was analyzed by TEM technique. Based on Tafel-Heyrovsky-Volmer mechanism the corresponding kinetic equations were derived to describe the hydrogen oxidation current-potential behavior on RDE over the entire potential region. The polarization RIDE curves were fitted with derived polarization equations according to proposed model. The fitting shows that the HOR on Pt proceeds most likely via the Tafel-Volmer (TV) pathway in the lower potential region, while the Heyrovsky-Volmer (HV) pathway is operative in the higher potential region. It is pointed out that Tafel equation that has been frequently used for the kinetics analysis in the HOR, can not reproduce the polarization curves measured with high mass-transport rates. Polarization measurements on RDE revealed that the Pt catalyst deposited on titanium suboxide support showed equal specific activity for the HOR compared to conventional carbon-supported Pt fuel cell catalyst.

AB  - The hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) was studied at the home made TiOx-Pt/C nanocatalysts in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4 at 25 degrees C. Pt/C catalyst was first synthesized by modified ethylene glycol method (EG) on commercially used carbon support (Vulcan XC-72). Then TiOx-Pt/C catalyst was prepared by the polyole method followed by TiOx post-deposition. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by XRD, TEM and EDX techniques. It was found that Pt/C catalyst nanoparticles were homogenously distributed over carbon support with the mean particle size of about 2.4 nm. The quite similar, homogenous distribution and particle size were obtained for Pt/C doped by TiOx catalyst which was the confirmation that TiOx post-deposition did not lead to significant growth of the Pt nanoparticles. The electrochemically active surface area of the catalyst was determined by using the cyclic voltammetry technique. The kinetics of hydrogen oxidation was investigated by the linear sweep voltammetry technique at the rotating disc electrode (RDE). The kinetic equations used for the analysis were derived considering the reversible or irreversible nature of the kinetics of the HOR. It was found that the hydrogen oxidation reaction for an investigated catalyst proceeded as an electrochemically reversible reaction. The values determined for the kinetic parameters-Tafel slope of 28 mV dec(-1) and exchange current density about 0.4 mA cm(Pt)(-2) are in good agreement with usually reported values for a hydrogen oxidation reaction with platinum catalysts in acid solutions.

AB  - The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was studied at carbon supported MoOx-Pt/C and TiOx-Pt nanocatalysts in 0.5 mol dm(-3) HClO4 solution, at 25 degrees C. The MoOx-Pt/C and TiOx-Pt/C catalysts were prepared by the polyole method combined by MoOx or TiOx post-deposition. Home made catalysts were characterized by TEM and EDX techniques. It was found that catalyst nanoparticles were homogenously distributed over the carbon support with a mean particle size about 2.5 nm. Quite similar distribution and particle size was previously obtained for Pt/C catalyst. Results confirmed that MoOx and TiOx post-deposition did not lead to a significant growth of the Pt nanoparticles. The ORR kinetics was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry at the rotating disc electrode. These results showed the existence of two E - logj regions, usually observed with polycrystalline Pt in acid solution. It was proposed that the main path in the ORR mechanism on MoOx-Pt/C and TiOx-Pt/C catalysts was the direct four-electron process with the transfer of the first electron as the rate-determining step. The increase in catalytic activity for ORR on MoOx-Pt/C and TiOx-Pt/C catalysts, in comparison with Pt/C catalyst, was explained by synergetic effects due to the formation of the interface between the platinum and oxide materials and by spillover due to the surface diffusion of oxygen reaction intermediates.

AB  - The temperature dependence of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was studied on highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles supported on a carbon cryogel. The specific surface area of the support was 5 17 m(2) g(-1), the Pt particles diameter was about 2.7 nm and the loading of the catalyst was 20 wt. %. The kinetics of the ORR at the Pt/C electrode was examined in 0.50 mol dm(-3) HClO4 solution in the temperature range from 274 to 318 K. At all temperatures, two distinct E-log j regions were observed at low current densities with a slope of -2.3RT/F and at high current densities with a slope of -2.3 x 2RT/F. In order to confirm the mechanism of oxygen reduction previously suggested at a polycrystalline Pt and a Pt/Ebonex nanostructured electrode, the apparent enthalpies of activation at selected potentials vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode were calculated in both current density regions. Although Delta H-a,l(not equal) > Delta H-a,h(not equal), it was found that the enthalpies of activation at the zero Galvani potential difference were the same and hence it could be concluded that the rate-determining step of the ORR was the same in both current density regions.

abstract = "The temperature dependence of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was studied on highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles supported on a carbon cryogel. The specific surface area of the support was 5 17 m(2) g(-1), the Pt particles diameter was about 2.7 nm and the loading of the catalyst was 20 wt. %. The kinetics of the ORR at the Pt/C electrode was examined in 0.50 mol dm(-3) HClO4 solution in the temperature range from 274 to 318 K. At all temperatures, two distinct E-log j regions were observed at low current densities with a slope of -2.3RT/F and at high current densities with a slope of -2.3 x 2RT/F. In order to confirm the mechanism of oxygen reduction previously suggested at a polycrystalline Pt and a Pt/Ebonex nanostructured electrode, the apparent enthalpies of activation at selected potentials vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode were calculated in both current density regions. Although Delta H-a,l(not equal) > Delta H-a,h(not equal), it was found that the enthalpies of activation at the zero Galvani potential difference were the same and hence it could be concluded that the rate-determining step of the ORR was the same in both current density regions. The synthesized Pt/C catalyst showed a small enhancement in the catalytic activity for ORR in comparison to the polycrystalline Pt, but no change in the mechanism of the reaction.",

AB  - The oxidation of methanol and reduction of oxygen were studied on MoOx-Pt/C nano-catalysts prepared by the polyole method combined by MoOx post-deposition. The catalysts were characterized by TEM and EDX. The presented composition of the electrode is very similar to the nominal ones and post-deposited MoOx species block only a small fraction of the active Pt particle surface area. MoOx deposition on the carbon support can be ruled out from the EDX results and the low mobility of these oxides at corresponding conditions. The electrode catalytic activity in the electrooxidation of methanol and the reduction of oxygen was studied by steady-state voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry. MoOx-Pt/C catalyst exhibits higher catalytic activity than Pt/C for the oxygen reduction. The catalytic effect in oxidation of methanol is achieved only under potentiodynamic conditions, when poisoning species have no enough time to develop fully.

AB  - The oxygen reduction reaction was investigated in 0.1 M NaOH solution, on a porous coated electrode formed of Pt particles supported on carbon cryogel. The Pt/C catalyst was characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cyclic voltammetry techniques. The results demonstrated a successful reduction of Pt to metallic form and homogenous Pt particle size distribution with a mean particle size of about 2.7 nm. The ORR kinetics was investigated by linear sweep polarization at a rotating disc electrode. The results showed the existence of two E - log j regions, usually referred to polycrystalline Pt in acid and alkaline solution. At low Current densities (led), the Tafel slope was found to be close to -2.3RT/F, while at high current densities (bed) it was found to be close to -2x2.3RT/F. It is proposed that the main path in the ORR mechanism on Pt particles was the direct four-electron process, with the transfer of the first electron as the rate determining step. If the activities are expressed through the specific current densities, a small enhancement of the catalytic activity for Pt/C was observed compared to that of polycrystalline Pt. The effect of the Pt particle size on the electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction was ascribed to the predominant (111) facets of the platinum crystallites.
