| Abstract | Polycrystalline Rh and Pt were studied to ascertain their electrocatalytic activity for the electro-oxidation of SO$_{2}$, an important reaction in sulfur dioxide depolarized electrolyzers used to produce hydrogen. Cyclic voltammetry and linear polarization methods were employed to evaluate the catalytic activity of these surfaces. Rh exhibited 25-fold lower catalytic activity than Pt and was more susceptible to poisoning by adsorbed intermediate sulfur species. Koutecky-Levich analysis indicated a two-electron transfer reaction on the Pt surface, which corresponded to the most commonly accepted SO$_{2}$ electro-oxidation reaction mechanism. The Tafel slopes in the low potential region (near the onset potential), in conjunction with an analysis of well-known reaction mechanisms, suggested that the step leading to the oxidation of water to form adsorbed hydroxyl species was the rate-determining step (RDS). This mechanistic model predicts a decrease in Tafel slope with increasing coverage of catalyst active surface sites by adsorbed sulfur species. For Pt, we estimate a surface sulfur coverage of 4 % based on the experimentally measured Tafel slope. In the case of Rh, the sulfur coverage was calculated to be approximately 1 %. The Tafel slopes obtained changed from 106 mV decade$^{−1}$ for Rh and 80 mV decade$^{−1}$ for Pt at potentials below 0.7 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) to 210 mV decade$^{−1}$ for Rh and 162 mV decade$^{−1}$ for Pt at potentials above 0.7 V vs. SHE, suggesting a change in the reaction mechanism corresponding to a change in the surface of the electrocatalyst. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
