Abstract: In this study, iridium oxide layer deposited on Pt surface (IrOx-Pt) was utilized to explore ethanol oxidation reaction (EtOR) in alkaline medium. To fabricate the catalyst, cleaned Pt surface was scanned from 0 V to +1 V vs. Ag/AgCl (sat. KCl) in Ir2O3·xH2O colloidal suspension for 10 incessant cycles. A cyclic voltammogram recorded in 0.1 M NaOH solution corroborated the presence of IrOx by showing the appearance of a distinct redox pair on the Pt surface, with Epa at −0.31 V and Epc at −0.27 V. Energy dispersive mapping verified the uniform deposition of IrOx on Pt, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that IrOx contains both IrIII and IrIV species. The results of cyclic voltammetric analysis indicated that the activity of the pure Pt catalyst towards EtOR was approximately 1.3 times greater than that of IrOx-Pt. However, the CO-tolerant ability of the Pt catalyst was roughly 3.5 times lower than that of IrOx-Pt. The results of the stability test indicated that the current density associated with EtOR on the IrOx-Pt electrode experienced a decrease of approximately 18% with a standard deviation of 1.15% after undergoing 500 consecutive cycles. In contrast, the Pt electrode exhibited a decrease in activity of nearly 50% with a standard deviation of 1.53% under similar experimental conditions. The study on scan rate dependence revealed that the electrode reaction was a process limited by mass transfer.
