Preparation and characterization of H1–e rhodium films

Nitrate and nitrite electrocatalytic reduction on Rh-modified pyrolytic graphite electrodes

“…1. Concerning a 1 M NaCl solution, a slight increase in current density at −0.75 V for the sweep in the negative potential direction is due to the formation of H ads layer as it has been previously reported for alkaline solution [43] and the hydrogen evolution begins at approximately −1.0 V. In the case of 1 M NaCl + 0.1 M NaNO 3 solution, the onset of the increase in current density occurs at more positive potentials pointing to the beginning of NO 3 − reduction whose peak maximum is observed at −0.90 V as previously reported [30] (Fig. 1, dotted curve).…”

Lyotropic liquid crystal directed synthesis of nanostructured materials

“…In principle, the LLC template method is applicable to a wide variety of metals through the electrochemical process because the approach involves just a simple replication of well-ordered LLC. Therefore, several additional examples have been reported for Ni/Co alloys [67], 3-D nanoporous Pt film [68], Co [69], Pd [70] and Rh [71]. In a word, mesostructured metal is typically achieved by reducing a suitable precursor dissolved in the aqueous domain of LLC phase.…”

Beyond Silica: Nonoxidic Mesostructured Materials

“…The formation of mesoporous Ni particles and Pt thin films by autocatalytic deposition and a contact-plating method respectively have also been described. [84][85][86] If single metals can be prepared in mesoporous form, alloying is a logical extension. There have been relatively few reports on mesoporous alloys such as Pt-Pd, [87] Ni-Co, [88] and…”
