In this paper the electrochemical properties of some platinum-based nanoalloys are
reviewed. The revision is centered on electrocatalytic materials generated via the carbonyl …

By comparing the performance of fuel cells operating on some low molecular weight
alcohols, it resulted that ethanol may replace methanol in a direct alcohol fuel cell. To …

Alloying Pt electrocatalysts with late transition metals (eg, Ni, Co, and Fe) is an effective
strategy to lower the catalyst cost and improve their tolerance toward CO in the anode of …

In recent years there has been much activity in examining Pt alloys with first row transition
metals as catalysts materials for DMFCs. In this work, the electrochemical oxidation of …

The structure, composition, morphology, and support material significantly affect the catalytic
characteristics of Pt-based nanocatalysts. Fine control of the structural and compositional …

Low-temperature fuel cells, with either hydrogen or methanol as the fuel, represent an
environmentally friendly technology and are attracting considerable interest as a means of …

Platinized Cu, Ni, and Co deposits have been formed on glassy carbon (GC) electrode
substrates by a two-step process, whereby a controlled amount of the transition metal was …

High performance methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) catalysts are critical to the
performance of attractive, direct methanol fuel cells. Here, we use surface controlled PtNi …

Spin engineering provides a powerful strategy for manipulating the interaction between
electrons in the d orbital and oxygen-containing adsorbates, while a little endeavor was …
