Synthesis of Supported Pt Alloy three Dimensional Rhombus Shapes Nanoparticles for Oxygen Reduction Reaction
In this study PtFeCo ternary alloys nanoparticles of three dimentional (3D) rhombus shapes dispersed on graphene nanosheets (PtFeCo/Gr) were successfully prepared and studied as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells. A combination of analytical techniques including powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectra, inductively coupled plasma-...
متن کاملDendrimer-carbon nanotube layer-by-layer film as an efficient host matrix for electrogeneration of PtCo electrocatalysts.
In this paper we demonstrate that layer-by-layer (LbL) films of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are efficient for controlling the morphology of electrogenerated cobalt (Co) and the platinum-cobalt (PtCo) alloy. While Co grew to the micrometer scale and poorly covered the ITO substrate, with the LbL matrix it was kept in the nanoscale regime and prov...
متن کاملGermanium nanoparticles encapsulated in flexible carbon nanofibers as self-supported electrodes for high performance lithium-ion batteries.
Germanium is a promising high-capacity anode material for lithium ion batteries, but still suffers from poor cyclability due to its huge volume variation during the Li-Ge alloy/dealloy process. Here we rationally designed a flexible and self-supported electrode consisting of Ge nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanofibers (Ge-CNFs) by using a facile electrospinning technique as potential ano...
