Beef-derived mesoporous carbon as highly efficient support for PtRuIr electrocatalysts and their high activity for CO and methanol oxidation
(SACI, 2014)
In this work, a low-cost and nitrogen-containing carbon with mesoporous pores and high surface area was synthesized by
carbonizing a natural biomass precursor, i.e. beef. It is found that the prepared material has excellent ...
Pt decorated amorphous RuIr alloys as high efficiency electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation
(The Electrochemical Society, 2012)
This study focuses primarily on improving the utilization and
activity of anodic catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation. The
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) anodic catalyst, a carbon
supported Pt decorated amorphous ...
Palygorskite hybridized carbon nanocomposite as a high-performance electrocatalyst support for formic acid oxidation
(South African Chemical Institute (SACI), 2013)
A nanocomposite, in which acid-treated palygorskite was hybridized with carbon, was prepared and designed as an efficient
support for electrocatatlysts. Pd nanoparticles were deposited on the hybrid support as an ...
Effect of the structure of Ni nanoparticles on the electrocatalytic activity of Ni@Pd/C for formic acid oxidation
(Elsevier, 2013)
Ni@Pd/C catalysts were synthesized, using Ni/C with different crystalline structures prepared with various ligands. A series of characterizations were performed by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray ...
Montmorillonite modified by CNx supported Pt for methanol oxidation
(Elsevier, 2013)
A composite support based on nature clay, i.e. montmorillonite (MMT), shows great promise as support materials for Pt electrocatalyst for the methanol oxidation reaction in fuel cell anodes. The reported composite support ...
Nitrogen-doped carbon coated ZeO2 as a support to Pt nanoparticles in the oxygen reduction reaction
(Elsevier, 2013)
A new nitrogen-doped carbon (CNx) support for Pt electrocatalysts was prepared by carbonizing polypyrrole on the surface of ZrO2 (ZrO2@CNx) at high temperature. Well-dispersed Pt nanoparticles were easily formed on the ...
Biomass-derived activated carbon as high-performance non-precious electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
A new type of Fe and N doped carbon material is synthesized by
pyrolyzing ferric chloride doped egg white (EW) and the
proposed synthetic route is easy, green, and low-cost. In addition,
the as-prepared sample exhibits ...
Synthesis of carbon-supported PdSn–SnO2 nanoparticles with different degrees of interfacial contact and enhanced catalytic activities for formic acid oxidation
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
The conjunction of the PdSn alloy and SnO2 is of interest for improving catalytic activity in formic acid
oxidation (FAO). Here, we report the synthesis of PdSn–SnO2 nanoparticles and a study of their catalytic
FAO ...
Supported 3-D Pt nanostructures: the straightforward synthesis and enhanced electrochemical performance for methanol oxidation in an acidic medium
(Springer, 2013)
Noble metal nanostructures with branched morphologies [i.e., 3-D Pt nanoflowers (NFs)] by tridimensionally integrating onto conductive carbon materials are proved to be an efficient and durable electrocatalysts for methanol ...
Selenium-functionalized carbon as a support for platinum nanoparticles with improved electrochemical properties for the oxygen reduction reaction and CO tolerance
(Electrochemical Society, 2013)
Using selenium-functionalized carbon as supports, platinum nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the carbon surface, and
showed improved electrochemical properties for the oxygen reduction reaction. At the same time ...
