The laboratory is engaged in fabricating high-efficiency catalysts and working out theoretical descriptions of kinetics and mechanisms of the processes which takes place in chemical power sources. The electrochemical techniques of preparation of catalysts containing microloadings of platinum metals are developed, and the approaches to the regulating of the quantity and dispersion of deposited metal (by means of varying the support type, deposition potential, electrolyte composition, etc) are found.
During recent years the investigations of stabilization of highly dispersed metallic structures in polymeric matrixes are in progress. Fabricated compositions with metallic nanoparticles are under study in connection with basic problems of size effects and metal-matrix interactions.
The kinetics of electrooxidation of some simplest organic fuels is investigated, which is of interest for electrochemical generators. Special attention is paid to carbon monoxide adsorption and electrooxidation which is very important both for applications and certain fundamental topics (effect of the chemisorption of neutral species on the structure of electrical double layer, the role of chemisorption in the kinetics of organics electrooxidation).
The electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide is realized on dispersed palladium in a mild mode (potentials more positive than RHE). The search for intensification of this process is carried out, which is of great importance for environmental problems.
