Abstract:This study presents the facile synthesis of CoO/PtPd and CoO/PtPd/reduced‐graphene oxide (r‐GO) nanocomposites, highlighting their significant role in methanol fuel cells. To create a CoO/PtPd thin film at the toluene/water interface, we employed NaBH4 to effectively reduce PtCl2(COD), PdCl2(COD), and Co (acac)3 (COD = cis,cis‐1,5‐ cyclooctadiene, acac = acetylacetonate). The two nanocomposites were analyzed using XRD, FE‐SEM, AFM, XPS, BET, and TEM techniques. In the electrooxidation of methanol in the anodic… Show more
