Title Utilizing DNA for electrocatalysis: DNA-Nickel aggregates as anodic electrocatalysts for methanol, ethanol, glycerol, and glucose
Date 2013-01-01
Description DNA-nickel aggregates were electrodeposited onto glassy carbon electrode surfaces and have shown electrocatalytic activity for oxidation of methanol, ethanol, glycerol, and glucose at room temperature in alkaline solutions. Bulk electrolysis oxidation products identified by 13C NMR include carbonate as methanol, glycerol, and glucose's oxidation products suggesting these three fuels can be deeply oxidized by DNA-nickel aggregates and carbon-carbon bonds can be broken during the oxidation of glycerol and glucose. However, ethanol was only oxidized to acetate. The capability of deep oxidation of methanol, ethanol, glycerol and glucose under relatively moderate conditions makes DNA-nickel a candidate for fuel cell applications.
