Abstract
Considering the importance of the fuel cells, we are up to developing an appropriate and efficient electrode system in this project so that we may take a step forward in this field. Besides, the significance of nanostructure compounds in electrochemistry led us to use a nanoporous silicate zeolite (MCM-41) along with silver nanoparticle in electrode fabrication. Characterization of the synthesized nano zeolite was carried out using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) techniques. Then, the synthetic nano zeolite containing Ag nanoparticle were employed in the fabrication of the modified carbon paste electrode and was used in the electrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde. The mechanistic and kinetic studies of the reactions were undertaken based on cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques. The results revealed that the modified electrodes with MCM-41 nano zeolite and Ag nanoparticle exhibited much higher current densities and fewer overpotentials than that of bare carbon paste electrode for use in the fuel cell.
