Resumo

The electro-oxidations of methanol and formic acid at a Ru(0001) electrode in perchloric acid solution have been investigated as functions of temperature, potential and time using in-situ FTIR spectroscopy, and the results compared to those obtained during our previous studies on the adsorption and electro-oxidation of CO under the same conditions. It was found that no dissociative adsorption or electro-oxidation of methanol takes place at the Ru(0001) at potentials 1000 mV, the oxidation of formic acid to CO was significantly increased, and the oxidation of methanol to CO and methyl formate was observed, both of which were attributed to the formation of an active RuO phase on the Ru(0001) surface.
