| Abstract: | The processes of adsorption and oxidation of glycerol on Pt, Pt/Sbad and Pt/Sad electrodes were studied by using Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The results demonstrated that the oxidation of glycerol depended strongly on oxidation states of electrode surface. Sb adatoms on Pt surface can adsorb oxygen at relatively low potentials, and exhibit catalytic effects for glycerol oxidation. In contrast to Pt electrodes, the oxidation peak potential of glycerol on Pt surf... |
