Abstract

The electro_oxidation of ethanol on nm_Pt/GC electrode in alkaline solutions containing 0.02 mol·L -1 NaOH+0.1 mol·L -1 CH 3CH 2OH was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry and in_situ FTIR spectroscopy. The experimental results demonstrated that the main product of ethanol oxidation is CH 3COO -,only very small amount of CH 3CHO has been determined simultaneously. In contrast with the dual path reaction mechanism for the oxidation of ethanol in acid media,the oxidation of ethanol in alkaline media didn't pass through the dissociative adsorption,and no adsorbed species could be determined even using a nm_Pt/GC electrode that gives rise to enhancement of IR absorption of adsorbates.
