Electrochemical analysis of aluminium corrosion in alkaline battery fluid under the influence of Alizarin Red S and Xylenol Orange Basu M. Daas, Pradip Kr. Ghosh, Bikash Mandal, Susanta Ghosh, I. Basumallick Results in Chemistry, 2024 Aluminium is preferred over iron for various uses as it is lighter, rust-proof and has an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminium is more reactive than iron because of its higher standard reduction potential but it forms a self-protective layer of Al2O3 due to its higher reducing potential. Still, aluminium is corroded in acidic and alkaline media. The present research paper reports the corrosion behaviour of aluminium in 0.1 M NaOH solution with Alizarin Red S (ARS) or Xylenol Orange (XO) as an inhibitor. Corrosion potential, Corrosion current, Tafel slopes (βc) and (βa) for aluminium corrosion have been potentiodynamically investigated. The weight loss method has also been used to calculate the inhibition efficiencies of these additives. The corroded surfaces have been characterized by SEM images. It is found that corrosion potential values change significantly towards the anodic direction in the presence of ARS but they are sifted towards a cathodic direction at a high concentration of XO. While ARS shows a corrosion inhibition effect, XO shows a reverse effect. The inhibition efficiency values of ARS and XO calculated from corrosion current in potentiodynamic polarization studies tally with those calculated from weight loss studies. Studies on a laboratory model of aluminium-air batteries in 0.1 M NaOH containing these organic additives show that the discharge curve of the cell is improved in the presence of ARS and XO in combination. The results are explained in terms of the formation of well-known Al+3.3ARS− and Al+3-XO6− complexes. At room temperature, 1.0 × 10−3 M solution of ARS is found effective in inhibiting the corrosion of aluminium while the same concentration of XO is acting as a corrosion accelerator. This interesting study can be very vital in the field of corrosion science.
Layered Pt.ZSM-5-C by greener chemical reduction for catalysing fuel cell reactions Basu M. Daas, Susanta Ghosh Current Science, 2018 Metal ion exchanged catalysts are known now and are successfully used for many catalytic processes. But supported metal nanoparticles on the zeolite bed, and their use as catalysts is still under experimental probe. ZSM-5 supported platinum nanoparticles are synthesized from in-situ chemical reduction of platinum chloride solution in the presence of zeolite, by zinc dust chemical reduction method which is comparatively ‘greener’. This platinum nanoparticle loaded ZSM-5 is studied in the role of catalyst in electrooxidation of methanol and ethanol using Nafion-117 to bind the catalyst on carbon felt. The platinum nanoparticle loaded ZSM-5 is found to be a better catalyst compared to pure ZSM-5 and pure platinum. This greener chemical reduction method can be used as the results show that zeolite modified catalysts are as good as those prepared by other less environment friendly methods, if not better.
Electro-oxidation of Methanol and Ethanol Catalyzed by Pt/ZSM-5/C Basu Maan Daas, Susanta Ghosh Electroanalysis, 2017 Direct alcohol fuel cells are a promising source of future energy generation for small and portable devices. Platinum is considered the best catalyst for electro‐oxidation of alcohols in fuel cells but the major hurdles with platinum catalysts are high cost of platinum as well as low selectivity, slow reaction kinetics and carbonaceous poisoning associated with platinum. This particular research reports electro‐oxidation of methanol and ethanol over platinum electrodeposited on ZSM‐5 without any carbon additive. From the cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry, linear sweep voltammetry, tafel plot and multiple scan analyses, it is found that Pt/ZSM‐5/C electrodes can catalyze electro‐oxidation of methanol and ethanol with higher efficiency. ZSM‐5 supports the formation of smaller sized platinum nanoparticles in a dispersed manner on the zeolite support and thus increases the active surface area of the metal for catalytic activity. It favors adsorption of alcohol molecules on the modified electrode surface and thus increases the diffusion process. It also stabilizes the modified electrodes.
