CNx-modified Fe3O4 as Pt nanoparticle support for the oxygen reduction reaction
(Springer, 2013)A novel electrocatalyst support material, nitrogendoped carbon (CNx)-modified Fe3O4 (Fe3O4-CNx), was synthesized through carbonizing a polypyrrole-Fe3O4 hybridized precursor. Subsequently, Fe3O4-CNx-supported Pt (Pt/Fe3O4-CNx) ... -
Components for PEM fuel cells: An overview
(Trans Tech Publications, 2010)Fuel cells, as devices for direct conversion of the chemical energy of a fuel into electricity by electrochemical reactions, are among the key enabling technologies for the transition to a hydrogen-based economy. Among ... -
Effect of ni core structure on the electrocatalytic activity of pt-ni/c in methanol oxidation.
(MDPI, 2013)Methanol oxidation catalysts comprising an outer Pt-shell with an inner Ni-core supported on carbon, (Pt-Ni/C), were prepared with either crystalline or amorphous Ni core structures. Structural comparisons of the two forms ... -
The effect of PtRuIr nanoparticle crystallinity in electrocatalytic methanol oxidation
(MDPI, 2013)Two structural forms of a ternary alloy PtRuIr/C catalyst, one amorphous and one highly crystalline, were synthesized and compared to determine the effect of their respective structures on their activity and stability as ... -
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 ... -
Effects of heat treatment on the catalytic activity and methanol tolerance of carbon-supported platinum alloys
(Springer, 2012)This work studies the effect of heat treatment of carbon-dispersed platinum and platinum alloys on its methanol tolerance and catalytic activity as gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acid medium. ... -
Electrochemical studies of Pd-based anode catalysts in alkaline medium for direct glycerol fuel cells
(MDPI, 2020)his study investigates the most effective electrocatalyst for glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) in alkaline medium for five synthesized electrocatalysts, Pd, PdNi, PdNiO, PdMn3O4 and PdMn3O4NiO, supported on multi-walled ... -
Ex-situ electrochemical characterization of iro2 synthesized by a modified Adams fusion method for the oxygen evolution reaction
(MDPI, 2019)The development of highly stable and active electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has attracted significant research interest. IrO2 is known to show good stability during the OER however it is not known ... -
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 ... -
Platinum overlaid PdCulr/C: an Improved Methanol Oxidation Elextrocatalyst
(ESG, 2013)A platinum overlaid PdCuIr/C (Pt-PdIrCu/C) anodic catalyst for direct methanol fuel cell was prepared by a two-step reduction method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that the ...
