[ 1 ] - Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity of Pt-M (M= Co, Fe) Chitosan Supported Catalysts for Ethanol Electrooxidation in Fuel Cells

Here, metal nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction of the corresponding metal salts in the presence of chitosan polymer. Binary and ternary metallic-chitosan Pt-Fe-CH, Pt-Co-CH and Pt-Fe-Co-CH nanocomposites were prepared. Transmission electron microscopy images and UV–Vis spectra of the nanocomposites confirmed the presence of the metal nanoparticles. The electrocatalytic activit...

[ 2 ] - An experimental investigation on the effect of acid treatment of MWCNTs on the viscosity of water based nanofluids and statistical analysis of viscosity in prepared nanofluids

The effect of temperature (25, 40, 55 and 70°C) and weight fraction of MWCNTs (0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 %wt) on the viscosity of nanofluids containing pristine and functionalized MWCNTs have been investigated. For this purpose, all of the measurements were carried out in triplicate and were analyzed using two factors completely randomized design and comparison of data means is carried out with Dunca...
