Abstract in Portuguese
No presente trabalho foi estudado catalisadores dispersos em carbono contendo Pt, PtRh e PtRhRu para eletroxidação de etanol. Os catalisadores foram preparados em ultra-som e caracterizados por EDX, DRX e MET e sua atividade catalítica estudada através das técnicas de voltametria cíclica e DEMS. Os resultados experimentais indicaram que a adição de ródio diminui o potencial de início de oxidação de etanol, embora também diminua a corrente faradáica. Os estudos de DEMS mostraram que com a presença de ródio há um aumento na produção de CO2. Devido a isso, estudos fundamentais em monocristais de Pt (111), Pt (110) e Pt (100) modificados com depósitos de Rh foram realizados. Os depósitos foram feitos pelo método eletroquímico e diferentes graus de recobrimentos foram estudados para a eletroxidação de etanol. A atividade catalítica foi avaliada por voltametria cíclica, cronoamperometria e FTIR in situ. Os resultados mostraram que quanto maior a quantidade de ródio na superfície menor é a corrente obtida na oxidação de etanol. Dentre os eletrodos monocristalinos estudados a Pt (100) apresentou melhor atividade para a oxidação etanol. Os estudos com monocristais corroboraram com os resultados obtidos para os catalisadores dispersos em carbono.

Abstract in English
In this work, carbon dispersed catalysts containing Pt, PtRh and PtRhRu were studied for electroxidation of ethanol. The catalysts were prepared using ultrasound and characterized by EDX, XRD and TEM and its catalytic activity studied using the techniques of cyclic voltammetry and DEMS. Experimental results indicated that the addition of rhodium decreases the potential onset of ethanol oxidation, but also decrease the faradaic current. DEMS studies showed that the presence of rhodium promotes an increase in CO2 production. Because of this, fundamental studies on single crystal of Pt (111), Pt (110) and Pt (100) modified with Rh deposits were done. The deposits were made by electrochemical method and different degrees of coatings were studied for ethanol electroxidation The catalytic activity was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and in situ FTIR. The results showed that the greater the amount of rhodium on the surface the lower the current obtained in the oxidation of ethanol. Among the electrodes studied monocrystalline Pt (100) showed the best activity for ethanol oxidation.
