Graphene-Enriched Co9S8-N-C Non-Precious Metal Catalyst for Oxygen Reduction in Alkaline Media
In this work, a non-precious metal catalyst consisting of Co9S8 nanoparticles surrounded with nitrogen-doped graphene-like carbon (Co9S8-N-C) was developed for oxygen reduction in alkaline media. Improved activity has been measured with the Co9S8-N-C catalyst relative to Pt/C and a non-precious metal catalyst based on Fe instead of Co (Fe-N-C). An extensive physical characterization, including ...
متن کاملModeling Hierarchical Non-Precious Metal Catalyst Cathodes for PEFCs Using Multi-Scale X-ray CT Imaging
This paper reports the development of a model for simulating polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) with non-precious metal catalyst (NPMC) cathodes. NPMCs present an opportunity to dramatically reduce the cost of PEFC electrodes by removing the costly Pt catalyst. To address the significant transport losses in thick NPMC cathodes (ca. >60 μm), we developed a hierarchical electrode model that r...
متن کاملCurrent advances in precious metal core–shell catalyst design
Precious metal nanoparticles are commonly used as the main active components of various catalysts. Given their high cost, limited quantity, and easy loss of catalytic activity under severe conditions, precious metals should be used in catalysts at low volumes and be protected from damaging environments. Accordingly, reducing the amount of precious metals without compromising their catalytic per...
متن کاملGold nanoparticles: a revival in precious metal administration to patients.
Gold has been used as a therapeutic agent to treat a wide variety of rheumatic diseases including psoriatic arthritis, juvenile arthritis, and discoid lupus erythematosus. Although the use of gold has been largely superseded by newer drugs, gold nanoparticles are being used effectively in laboratory based clinical diagnostic methods while concurrently showing great promise in vivo either as a d...
متن کاملHighly efficient catalyst for removal of heavy metal ions modified by a novel Schiff base ligand
An alomina-based nano adsorbent was prepared by modification of the external surface of γ-alumina (γ-Al2O3) nanoparticles with functional groups of a new Schiff base 4-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)-amino]-5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-[1,2.4]triazole-3-thione] “L”. In order to the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions, we used the reaction of the sodium dodecyl sulfate coated nano-alumina with L...
