Title in Portuguese
Eletrocatálise utilizando líquidos iônicos e consumo químico de óxidos
Keywords in Portuguese
ácido fórmico
eletrocatálise
etanol
hidrogênio
líquidos iônicos
metanol
simulações numéricas
Abstract in Portuguese
A dissertação está dividida em duas partes. A primeira trata da eletroquímica fundamental utilizando líquidos iônicos como eletrólito suporte e molécula de estudo. São abordados os fenômenos de estabilidade anódica e catódica, com ênfase no mecanismo de degradação do líquido. Além disso, é apresentado um estudo sobre a oxidação eletrocatalítica de hidrogênio nesse ambiente. Quanto a esse aspecto são abordados aspectos mecanísticos e físico-químicos da reação. Técnicas eletroquímicas, modelagem e simulações numéricas foram utilizadas para investigação e hipotetização dos processos. A segunda parte da dissertação consiste do estudo da interação entre óxidos de platina e alguns compostos orgânicos (ácido fórmico, metanol e etanol). O estudo foi realizado em termos da evolução do potencial de circuito aberto com acompanhamento das espécies reativas através da espectroscopia de infravermelho in situ. Os dados obtidos são analisados sob a luz dos conhecimentos levantados pela área de eletrocatálise e sistemas dinâmicos. Modelagem e simulação do sistema permitiram o entendimento do papel individual das diversas etapas envolvidas sobre o comportamento geral do sistema.

Abstract in English
This dissertation is divided on two parts. The first one deals with fundamental electrochemistry employing an ionic liquid as supporting electrolyte and as a subject of study by itself. Phenomena like the anodic and cathodic stability of the liquid, emphasizing its degradation mechanism is presented. It is also shown a study of the electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrogen in this environment. For this case, efforts were made to unravel mechanistic aspects of the reaction, as well as physical chemical features. Electrochemical techniques and numerical simulations were used for investigation and understanding of that system. The second part presents a study of the interaction between platinum oxides and some organic compounds, namely: formic acid, methanol and ethanol. The study was performed under open circuit conditions by following the temporal evolution of the potential and also the concentration of some chemical species by using in situ infrared spectroscopy. Data were analyzed under the guide of knowledge constructed by the fields of electrocatalysis and dynamical systems. Modelling and simulation allowed understanding the individual role of the various participants species on the global behavior of the system.
