Achieving anti-sintering of supported platinum nanoparticles using a thermal management strategy

Instability of Supported Platinum Nanoparticles in Low-Temperature Fuel Cells

This paper discusses the mechanisms of surface area loss of supported platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts in lowtemperature fuel cells. It is argued that submonolayer dissolution of Pt nanoparticles governs the surface area loss at high voltages by increasing the loss of Pt from carbon and coarsening of Pt nanoparticles on carbon.

Surfactant-free preparation of supported cubic platinum nanoparticles.

A novel method has been developed for preparing supported cubic platinum nanoparticles. Carbon monoxide and hydrogen are used to reduce platinum precursors present at a solid-gas interface and to control the shape of the growing Pt nanoparticles. By avoiding the use of any organic agents in the synthesis, cubic Pt particles free of hydrocarbons are formed, thereby avoiding possible contaminatio...

investigation of thermal comfort properties of woven sport fabric using blend of estabragh fibers

امروزه لباس در نظر ورزشکاران و کسانی که برای اوقات فراغت خود و یا برای رسیدن به اندامی متعادل، ورزش می کنند؛ بسیار با اهمیت است. احساس مطلوب از لباس در زمره خصوصیات راحتی پوشش می باشد. خصوصیات انتقال رطوبت لباس، در ارزیابی راحتی حسی و حرارتی منسوجات تولید شده از آن ها بسیار مهم است. هدف از این تحقیق، معرفی پارچه جدید است که متشکل از الیاف استبرق با خواص منحصر به فرد می باشد. استبرق لیف طبیعی تو...

Sintering of Supported Metal Catalysts

Electrosynthesized Reduced Graphene Oxide-Supported Platinum, Platinum-Copper and Platinum-Nickel Nanoparticles on Carbon-Ceramic Electrode for Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Ethanol in Acidic Media

In this work, the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol was studied in acidic media at the wholly electrosynthesized nanocomposites: platinum and its alloys (copper and nickel) anoparticles/reduced graphene oxide on the carbon-ceramic electrode (Pt/rGO/CCE, Pt-Cu/rGO/CCE, and Pt-Ni/rGO/CCE electrocatalysts). The electrosynthesized nanocomposites were characterized by scan...
