Study of the Preparation and Property of Oxygen Reduction Electrode Based on Polyaniline or Polypyrrole

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPy) is developed rapidly with special physical and chemical performance. According to high catalytic activity, polyaniline is applied in a wide range of electrocatalysis area, especially for oxygen reduction. In this paper, electrochemical prepared polyaniline was used as catalyst as well as the loading of noble metal catalyst for manufacturing oxygen reduction electrode. Then the influence of carrier, noble metal and their binding forms to the ability of oxygen reduction were investigated by cyclic voltammeter. The result shows that PANI carrier was the most influential factor for oxygen reduction; for single noble metal catalyst, Pt shows bigger catalytic activity than Ag. And the best catalytic activity was optimized at dual deposited catalyst as Ag, Pt mass ratio to 23:100. Further more; compared to glassy carbon, graphite is much better for electrode basement.
