Effects of acetone on electrooxidation of 2-propanol in alkaline medium on the Pd/Ni-foam electrode

▶ Acetone poisons Pd for 2-propanol electrooxidation in alkaline medium. ▶ Acetone poisoning effect is due to its competitive adsorption on Pd with 2-propanol. ▶ Pd on nickel foam electrodes are prepared by a facile chemical replacement method.
