title: [In situ FTIR spectrocopic investigations of 1,3-butanediol oxidation on Sb and S modified Pt electrodes].
abstract: In the present paper, we studied the surface structure effect of Pt electrode modified with antimony and sulfur adatoms towards 1,3-Butanediol oxidation. The results demonstrated that the modification of Sb and S both inhibited the dissociative adsorption of 1,3-Butanediol into CO, which is the main source of self-poisoning in electrocatalysis of small organic molecules. At lower potentials, the principal oxidation pathway of 1,3-Butanediol on Pt/Sbad electrode is towards the production of C=O. However, at higher potentials, the products of CO2 increased. The presence of S(ad) inhibited the oxidation of 1,3-BD at low potentials(< 0.8 V), and yield mainly acid species as products at higher potentials(> 0.8 V).
