Development Of New Anodes Based On Organic Molecule And Carbon Graphite For Methanol Cells

This work aims to develop a new abase anode of organic molecule to study the electro-oxidation of methanol, in an alkaline solution with a carbon paste electrode modified by Ethylene-diamine tetra acetic acid disodium salt dehydrate EDTA-CPE, by cyclic voltammetry, measurements of ‘impedance and chronoemperometry. Radiography carried out morphological characterizations by microscopic electronic transmission (MET). The organic molecule has been found to have better catalytic activity for the oxidation of methanol; they are simple, cheaper and stable. Keywords: Methanol fuel cell; electro catalysis; modified electrodes; EDTA, catalyst, Chronoamperometry, impedance spectroscopy.
