ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan proses ?green? baru
untuk produksi H2O2 melalui rute sintesis langsung, di mana selama reaksi
hidrogen dan oksigen saling kontak satu sama lain. Sebuah pendekatan
elektrokimia dengan rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) telah dieksplorasi dan
dikembangkan secara sistematis yang bertujuan untuk mengukur H2O2 yang
diproduksi. Dua metode yang berbeda - co-reduction and successive reduction
dengan menggunakan microwave diadopsi untuk mempersiapkan bimetal
nanocatalysts Pd-Au/C. Hubungan antara struktur nanocatalysts dan aktivitas
katalitik dalam proses sintesis langsung diselidiki. Bimetal Pd-Au/C yang telah
disintesa, dikarakterisasi dengan ICP-AES, XRD, SEM, TEM, dan XAS untuk
pemahaman yang lebih baik dalam aktivitas katalitik sintesis H2O2 secara
langsung.
Pendekatan dalam elektrokimia untuk mengukur H2O2 yang dihasilkan dari
sintesis langsung telah berhasil dilakukan dengan sistem reaksi 2, dimana katalis
tersebar secara homogen dalam larutan. Kurva kalibrasi variasi konsentrasi H2O2
dibuat dalam parameter 0,891 V (vs Ag/AgCl) dan dengan scan rate 50 mV/s. CR
Pd3%-Au2%/C yang disintesa oleh co-reduction merupakan optimal loading
dengan produktivitas H2O2 65,8 mol.kgcat-1h-1. Produktivitas ini lebih tinggi dari
sample katalis lainnya, seperti monometallic Pd0%-Au5%/C & Pd5%-Au0%/C
dan bimetal SR Pd-Au/C yang disintesis dengan successive reduction.
Produktivitas yang lebih tinggi atau lebih rendah dari satu sampel ke yang lain
dijelaskan oleh parameter-parameter seperti ukuran partikel, struktur bimetal Pd-
Au/C, bidang kristal yang selektif, dan peran paladium dan emas. Ukuran partikel
yang lebih kecil cenderung memiliki Pd yang lebih banyak, sedangkan yang lebih
besar cenderung memiliki Au yang lebih banyak. Ukuran partikel yang lebih kecil
memiliki daerah permukaan yang lebih tinggi, sehingga produktivitas meningkat.
Namun, jika ukuran partikel terlalu kecil, permukaan yang aktif atau bidang
kristal yang selektif mungkin sedikit muncul (seperti dapat dilihat dalam SR Pd-
Au/C), sehingga produktivitas menurun.

Dari analisis XAS, CR Pd-Au/C memiliki struktur Au lebih banyak di core dan Pd
lebih banyak di shell. Struktur SR Pd-Au/C di beberapa bagian dari katalis adalah
Au lebih banyak di core dan Pd lebih banyak di shell, sementara pada bagian lain,
Pd lebih banyak di core dan Au lebih banyak di shell. Nilai Q pada SR PdAu
(0,638) lebih tinggi daripada CR PdAu (0,605), yang menunjukkan bahwa
keberadaan atom Au di shell SR PdAu lebih dari itu CR PdAu. Perbedaan dalam
struktur adalah salah satu alasan mengapa produktivitas H2O2 CR PdAu lebih
tinggi dari SR PdAu. Peran Pd adalah untuk memberikan luas permukaan untuk
oksidasi selektif dari hidrogen dan peran Au adalah untuk menyediakan situs aktif
untuk reaksi dekomposisi dan hidrogenasi H2O2.
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to develop a new green process for production of
H2O2 through the direct synthesis route, of which the hydrogen and oxygen
contacts each other during the reaction. An electrochemical approach with the
rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) had been systematically explored and
developed accordingly to measure the produced H2O2. Two different methods ?
co-reduction and successive reduction prepared in the microwave were adopted to
prepare bimetallic Pd-Au/C nanocatalysts. The relationship between the structure
of prepared nanocatalysts and their catalytic activity in the direct synthesis
process were investigated. As synthesized bimetallic Pd-Au/C were characterized
by ICP-AES, XRD, SEM, TEM, and XAS for better understanding in the catalytic
activity of direct synthesis of H2O2.
The approach in the electrochemical to measure H2O2 produced from the direct
synthesis has been successfully done with the reaction system 2, where the
catalyst is dispersed homogenously in the solution. The calibration curve of the
different concentration of H2O2 is made in the parameter of 0.891 V (vs Ag/AgCl)
and with the scan rate 50 mV/s. The optimum loading of samples prepared by co
reduction was observed in CR Pd3%-Au2%/C with the productivity of H2O2 is
65.8 mol.kgcat
-1h-1. This productivity is higher than the other prepared catalysts,
such as monometallic Pd0%-Au5% & Pd5%-Au0% and bimetallic SR Pd-Au/C
that is prepared by successive reduction. The higher or the lower productivity of
one sample to another is explained by the parameter of the particle size, the
structure of the bimetallic Pd-Au/C, the selective crystalline plane, and the role of
palladium and gold. The smaller the particle size tends to Pd rich, while the larger
one tends to Au rich. The smaller particle size yielded in the high surface area,
thus the productivity increases. However, if the particle size is too small, the
active site or selective crystalline plane may be slightly appeared (as can be seen
in SR Pd-Au/C), thus the productivity decreases.
From XAS analysis, the structure CR Pd-Au/C is Au rich in core and Pd rich in
shell. The structure of SR PdAu at some part of catalyst is Au rich in core and Pd
rich in shell, while at the other part, the structure is Pd in core and Au in shell.
ix
The Q value of SR PdAu (0.638) is higher than that of CR PdAu (0.605), which
indicates that the existence of Au atoms in the shell of SR PdAu is more than that
of CR PdAu. The difference in their structure is one reason why the H2O2
productivity of CR PdAu is higher than SR PdAu. The role of Pd is to provide the
surface area for the selective oxidation of hydrogen and the role of Au is to
provide inactive site for the reaction of decomposition and hydrogenation of
H2O2., The purpose of this study is to develop a new green process for production of
