Supported metals chemical deposition, from metal colloid

Model electrodes with a dehned mesoscopic structure can be generated by a variety of means, e.g., electrodeposition, adsorption from colloidal solutions, and vapor deposition and on a variety of substrates. Such electrodes have relatively well-dehned physico-chemical properties that differ signihcantly from those of the bulk phase. The present work analyzes the application of in-situ STM (scanning tunneling microscopy) and ETIR (Eourier Transformed infrared) spectroscopy in determining the mesoscopic structural properties of these electrodes and the potential effect of these properties on the reactivity of the fuel cell model catalysts. Special attention is paid to the structure and catalytic behavior of supported metal clusters, which are seen as model systems for technical electrocatalysts. [Pg.551]

For more practical purposes, therefore, one should take recourse to metal particles as produced by other means, in particular on supports or in matrices. The advantage is the availability of macroscopic amounts of sample the disadvantage is that interaction with the supporting medium must be assessed. A great variety of synthetic methods exists, of which we can mention only a few. Metal clusters can be produced by aerosol techniques, by vapor deposition, by condensation in rare-gas matrices, by chemical reactions in various supports, e.g. zeolites, SiOi, AI2O3, or polymer matrices. Many different metal-nonmetal composites, such as the ceramic metals (cermets) have been obtained with metal particles with sizes varying from nanometers upward. In alternative approaches, metal particles are stabilized by chemical coordination with ligand molecules, as in metal colloids and metal cluster compounds. [Pg.1436]

This mechanism is based on the known importance of hydroxides in other deposition reactions, such as the anomalous codeposition of ferrous metal alloys [38-39], Salvago and Cavallotti claim an analogy with the mechanism of Ni2 + reduction from colloids in support of their proposed mechanism. There is no direct evidence for the hydrolyzed species, however. Furthermore, the mechanism does not explain two experimentally observed facts Ni deposition will proceed if the Ni2 + and the reducing agent are in separate compartments of a cell [36, 37] and P is not deposited in the absence of Ni2 +. The chemical mechanism does not take adequate account of the role of the surface state in catalysis of the reaction. It has no doubt been the extreme oversimplification, by some, of the electrochemical mechanism that has led other investigators to reject it. [Pg.256]
