Front Cover: Application of AgPt Nanoshells in Direct Methanol Fuel Cells: Experimental and Theoretical Insights of Design Electrocatalysts over Methanol Crossover Effect (ChemCatChem 23/2022)

The Front Cover shows that nanoengineering is a breakthrough way to look at the electrocatalysis field under different perspective. In their Research Article, M. Aurélio Suller Garcia, T. Silva Rodrigues and co-workers provided design of hollow AgPt-based electrocatalyst with improved resistance methanol for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells applications. After immobilization onto SiO2, nanostructures presented remarkable stability, four-electron oxygen reduction reaction mechanism as Pt/C commercial catalyst, 20 times less Pt content. More information can be found in Article by co-workers.
