Pt–RuO2 electrodes prepared by thermal decomposition of polymeric precursors as catalysts for direct methanol fuel cell applications

Montmorillonite‐reinforced sulfonated poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) nanocomposite proton exchange membranes for direct methanol fuel cells

“…[11][12][13][14][15] Among the various inorganic, MMT is accepted as an excellent barrier for the permeation of small molecules. 16 For Nafion membrane, the high methanol permeability is the most disadvantages.…”

Enhanced electrocatalytic performance for methanol oxidation of Pt nanoparticles on Mn3O4-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes

“…Other than Pt-based alloys, metal oxides modified Pt particles, such as Pt/RuO 2 [8,9], Pt/WO 3 [10,11], Pt/SnO 2 [12,13], Pt/MnO 2 [14,15] etc. have also been tried as catalysts of fuel cells, which overcome the dissolution of transition metals.…”

Facile synthesis of a Bi-modified PtRu catalyst for methanol and ethanol electro-oxidation in alkaline medium

“…The current was normalized with respect to the electrode area. Hydrogen desorption/adsorption peaks in the range of À0.87 w À0.52 V and Bi redox peaks in the range of À0.3 w 0 V are clearly observed [27,38]. Surface oxidation on the Bicontaining catalysts starts at lower potential, compared to the commercial PtRu/C catalyst.…”
