Abstract:

Current catalysts for the alcohol oxidation in fuel cells (typically noble metals-based) are susceptible to poisoning with intermediates like CO. Hence we decided to find superseded catalysts for methanol oxidation based on incorporation of mixed oxides. In this research, a nano-size perovskite SrFeO3-δ (SrFeO3-δNPs) was synthesized by a rapid co-precipitation method assisted with ultrasonic and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and EDX techniques. A modified glassy carbon electrode with Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) and SrFeO3-δNPs dispersed into the appropriate amount of chitosan (CH) polymer as a multifunctional catalyst was prepared and its catalytic activity toward alcohols (C1 - C3) oxidation was investigated. Based on the electrochemical studies, the PdNPs-SrFeO3-δNPs-CH nanocomposite showed considerable activity for alcohols (C1 - C3) oxidation in comparison to PdNPs-CH and SrFeO3-δNPs-CH. A direct methanol fuel cell was designed, assembled and tested with suggested PdNPs-SrFeO3-δNPs-CH nanocomposite under several different conditions. The effect of experimental parameters (temperature; methanol concentration; flow rate) as well as NaOH concentration) on the electrical performances of the fuel cell were studied and optimized.

Volcano-like Behavior of Au-Pd Core-shell Nanoparticles in the Selective Oxidation of Alcohols

Gold-palladium (AuPd) nanoparticles have shown significantly enhanced activity relative to monometallic Au and Pd catalysts. Knowledge of composition and metal domain distributions is crucial to understanding activity and selectivity, but these parameters are difficult to ascertain in catalytic experiments that have primarily been devoted to equimolar nanoparticles. Here, we report AuPd nanopar...
