Synthesis and characterization of electrocatalyst containing Cobalt for glycerol oxidation in alkaline medium
Abstract
In this study, cobalt, cobalt-platium bimetallic modified and the trimetallic cobalt-palladium-platinum composites modified were successfully synthesized by electrodeposition method. The formation of cobalt, bimetallic Co-Pt and trimetallic Co-Pd-Pt glassy carbon electrode was surveyed on glassy carbon confirmed by SEM, EDX. Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the catalytic activity of these electrodes. The results showed that the trimetallic composite materials exhibited higher electrochemical catalytic activity performance for glycerol oxidation in alkaline solution .
