Increasing the sodium coverage on the catalyst surface appears to block some of the three-phase boundary (tpb) sites and reduces the rate of the charge transfer reaction. The promotion of the platinum surface reaction (ethylene oxidation) seems to a first approximation to be a function of the rate of oxygen supply or removal to or from the surface irrespective of whether this is contaminated by sodium or not (samples with sodium contamination require a higher overpotential to achieve the same current density as a clean sample because of poisoning in the tpb). At high negative polarisations (oxygen removed from the surface) the sodium contaminated samples show a significant increase in rate, possibly due to the decomposition of e.g. sodium hydroxides and carbonates. 2016-03-21T10:37:22Z 2016-03-21T10:37:22Z 2012-10-04 Article Solid State Ionics, vol.225, 2012, pages 386-389 0167-2738 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/41172 10.1016/j.ssi.2012.04.023 en Elsevier B.V.
