Abstract

Preliminary experiments are reported to show quantitatively that hydrogen gas can be stored under triphasic conditions in wet nanoparticulate polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) applied as a film to a platinum disk electrode surface. Based on chronoamperometric data, it is shown that the resulting triphasic interface is able to store hydrogen gas at apparent concentrations higher (3 orders of magnitude increase for an approx. 15 μm thick film with typically c_app,hydrogen = 80 mM; D_app,hydrogen = 1.2 × 10^–11 m²s⁻¹) than the known solubility of hydrogen gas in aqueous electrolyte (c_hydrogen = 0.08 mM; D_hydrogen = 5.0 × 10^–9 m²s⁻¹) at room temperature. Due to film roughness/heterogeneity, the apparent hydrogen concentration can only be estimated, but it increases with film thickness. At the same time the apparent diffusion coefficient is lowered considerably due to the molecularly rigid/glassy polymer host. The resulting modified electrode is investigated/proposed for energy storage applications with different amounts of PIM-1 nanoparticle deposits attached to the platinum surface.

期刊介绍： Electrocatalysis is cross-disciplinary in nature, and attracts the interest of chemists, physicists, biochemists, surface and materials scientists, and engineers. Electrocatalysis provides the unique international forum solely dedicated to the exchange of novel ideas in electrocatalysis for academic, government, and industrial researchers. Quick publication of new results, concepts, and inventions made involving Electrocatalysis stimulates scientific discoveries and breakthroughs, promotes the scientific and engineering concepts that are critical to the development of novel electrochemical technologies. Electrocatalysis publishes original submissions in the form of letters, research papers, review articles, book reviews, and educational papers. Letters are preliminary reports that communicate new and important findings. Regular research papers are complete reports of new results, and their analysis and discussion. Review articles critically and constructively examine development in areas of electrocatalysis that are of broad interest and importance. Educational papers discuss important concepts whose understanding is vital to advances in theoretical and experimental aspects of electrochemical reactions.
