Fuel Cell Anode Composed of Mo[sub 2]C Catalyst and Carbon Nanotube Electrodes

Fuel Cell Membrane Electrode Assemblies Fabricated by Layer‐by‐Layer Electrostatic Self‐Assembly Techniques

“…[50] Another example presented by Nakamura et al demonstrated the possibility of using Mo 2 C/CNTs for use in a fuel cell. [21] As these materials are further developed to achieve performance results similar to Pt based catalysts, LBL assembly techniques such as those demonstrated in this work could prove useful as a means to integrate these materials.…”

“…[17,18] Recently, there has been a growing trend to use nanostructured materials such as carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers (CFs) as fuel cell materials. [19][20][21][22][23] Although these 1D carbons possess desirable material properties (i.e., electrical conductivity, thermal, inertness etc. ), functionalization [19] and integration [20] challenges remain.…”

New non-platinum Ir–V–Mo electro-catalyst, catalytic activity and CO tolerance in hydrogen oxidation reaction

“…Ir is a Pt group metal, so the mechanism of Ir-based catalyst tolerance CO may be similar to PteRu catalyst. Therefore, the following bi-functional CO tolerance mechanism is proposed for IreVeMo/C10, where Mo can facilitate the electrooxidation of adsorbed CO at lower potentials as described herein [32,33]. CO will initially adsorb onto the IrV (reaction 2), while at low potentials, OH ad species can be produced by dissociating water onto the Mo sites to form MoeOH ad groups through reaction (3).…”

Cobalt molybdenum carbides as anode electrocatalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cell

“…For instance, tungsten carbide [10,11] and molybdenum carbide [12][13][14] have been the most studied. For the bimetallic carbide, a study showed that Ta-WC enhances the electrocatalytic activity due to its resistance towards corrosion [15] while other investigators have revealed the high hydrogen and methanol oxidation activities over carburized Mo-W [16,17], Ni-Mo [18] and Ni-W 8.5 mmol cobalt nitrate 6-hydrate (Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O, Kishida Chemical Co., 99%) and 2.8 mmol ammonium heptamolybdate 4-hydrate ((NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 ·4H 2 O, Kishida Chemical Co., 99%).…”
