Electrodeposition of palladium-dotted nickel nanowire networks as a robust self-supported methanol electrooxidation catalyst

ZnO Nanowire-supported Ag Catalyst for Methanol Steam Reforming

Alternative energy sources, such as various fuel cell technologies, have attracted intense attention due to their high efficiency and low emissions of pollutants. Methanol, with its high hydrogen/carbon ratio, low sulfur content and the absence of carbon–carbon bonds, has been identified as a highly suitable source for onboard production of hydrogen [1]. Among several reactions for converting m...

Carbon nanocoils as catalyst support for methanol electrooxidation: a DEMS study

Palladium nanoparticles supported on a nickel pyrazolate metal organic framework as a catalyst for Suzuki and carbonylative Suzuki couplings.

Methanolic reduction of [PdCl2(CH3CN)2] on a [Ni(2,5-di(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonate)2] metal organic framework gives rise to Pd(2+)/Pd(0) nanocomposites with Suzuki and carbonylative Suzuki heterogeneous catalytic activities.

Synthesis of mesoporous PtCu film modified with Ru submonolayer as catalyst for methanol electrooxidation.

A mesoporous PtCu catalyst modified with a Ru submonolayer is successfully synthesized by a facile electrochemical process of electrodeposition, dealloying and Ru underpotential deposition. The material has a large specific surface area comparable to nanoparticles (11 m(2) g(-1)) and exhibits a promising catalyst activity for the methanol oxidation reaction.

Methanol-Tolerant Platinum-Palladium Catalyst Supported on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanofiber for High Concentration Direct Methanol Fuel Cells

Pt-Pd catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber (N-CNF) was prepared and evaluated as a cathode electrode of the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The N-CNF, which was directly synthesized by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition from acetonitrile at 640 °C, was verified as having a change of electrochemical surface properties such as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activities and...
