In spite of tremendous efforts invested over the past decade, most electrocatalysts for
ethanol electrooxidation suffer from highly limited activity, stability and selectivity towards the …

Highlights•Fuel cell-based breath-alcohol sensor (FCBrAS) still keeps its technology of the
1970s.•FCBrAS still uses an extremely high loading of the expensive platinum …

In the present work, Pt and Pt/Sn nanoparticles (NPs), synthesized from carbonyl cluster
precursors were deposited on TiO 2 and the resulting materials were tested as catalysts in …

Pt-based materials are commonly employed as catalysts in the electrooxidation of ethanol in
direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFC). However, due to the complex nature of electrooxidation, the …

Pt-based alloys denote promising catalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and
the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), due to their enhanced activity toward alcohol-oxidation …

The present work presents a simple method based on a microwave-assisted sol-gel process
to obtain various PdCo aerogels. Different Pd: Co chemical ratios were used and the …

Carbon-supported platinum-tin electrocatalysts (Pt–Sn/C) are known to be the most efficient
fuel cell anode material to oxidize ethanol in the so-called Direct Ethanol Fuel Cells (DEFC) …

The activity and antipoisoning property are critical for commercialization of direct ethanol
fuel cells (DEFCs) so must be proceeded with extreme caution while designing the new …
