Developing affordable and earth-abundant equivalents to precious metal-based catalysts for
chemical processing is one of the greatest challenges in developing a renewable energy …

Although direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) is regarded as one of the most promising
energy-conversion systems, its commercialization process is impeded by the high costs of …

Recent mechanistic insight into the synthesis of metal nanostructures by attachment-based
growth is highlighted in this review. From quasi-spherical particles to nanowires …

A NiOx/Pt nanostructured catalyst was developed on a glassy carbon substrate that was
functionalized with “mutli-walled” carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for the electro-oxidation of …

A peerless inexpensive electrochemical engineering of spherical Pt nanoparticles (nano-Pt:
ca. 100 nm in average diameter) was achieved with intersected ferric oxyhydroxide …

Formic acid (FA) electro-oxidation (FAO) was investigated at a binary catalyst composed of
Pt (PtNPs) and Au (AuNPs) nanoparticles which were electrodeposited simultaneously onto …

Abstract A novel “MnOx/Au/Pt” ternary nanocatalyst is recommended for formic acid electro-
oxidation (FAO), the principal anodic reaction in direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs). The …

A propitious binary catalyst composed of Pt and Cu which were electrodeposited
simultaneously onto a glassy carbon (GC) substrate was recommended for the formic acid …

Pt is the ideal anode catalyst in fuel cells. In this paper, in order to increase the utilization of
Pt, the PtAu nanowire networks (NWNs) with ultralow content of Pt are fabricated by a simple …

In the drive toward energy crisis, direct ethylene glycol cells have received a great deal of
attention, but its commercial development has been greatly restricted due to the lack of cost …
