Pd-doped Co nanofibers immobilized on a chemically stable metallic bipolar plate as novel strategy for direct formic acid fuel cells

Recent Development of Pd-Based Electrocatalysts for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

“…It was found that a mild annealing of the alloys at moderate temperatures (350 °C) was desirable to clean the surface and maximize the catalytic activity and durability [245][246][247]. Tominaka et al [248] synthesized a mesoporous PdCo sponge-like nanostructure with a most desirable lattice contraction into a Pd catalyst for the ORR.…”

Cobalt/Chromium Nanoparticles-Incorporated Carbon Nanofibers as Effective Nonprecious Catalyst for Methanol Electrooxidation in Alkaline Medium

“…Accordingly, metal acetates are the most widely used inorganic precursor for the fabrication of metallic nano¯bers using the electrospinning process. [40][41][42] Because of the polycondensation characteristics of the utilized precursors, the sintering process did not a®ect the morphology of the nano¯bers as shown in Fig. 1 which displays two magni¯cations of SEM images for the calcined CoAc/CrAc/PVA electrospun mats.…”

High-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells based on nitrogen and graphene oxide co-incorporated TiO2 nanofibers photoelectrode

“…In the last decades, one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures, such as nanofibers, nanorods, nanotubes and nanowires received special attentions because of their large surface area, direct path for charge transport and improved physiochemical characteristics [4,5]. Among these (1-D) nanostructures, TiO 2 nanofibers (NFs) have received special consideration due to their large axial ratio, good mechanical properties and the ease of manipulation due to their macroscopic length [5][6][7]. Although several methods have been introduced, electrospinning was recognized as the most simple, effective and low cost technique to synthesize organic and inorganic nanofibers with a wide range of diameters (50-500 nm) and high surface-to-volume ratio [8][9][10][11][12].…”
