Lignin is a cheap, abundant and non-toxic group of complex phenolic polymers obtained in
large amounts from the papermaking and cellulosic biofuel industries. Although the …

Noble-metal nanoparticles (NMNPs), with their outstanding properties, have been arousing
the interest of scientists for centuries. Although our knowledge of them is much more …

Nickel is an excellent alternative catalyst to high cost Pt and Pt-group metals as anode
material in direct methanol fuel cells. However, nickel presents a relatively low stability …

In the present study, crosslinked poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) membranes were prepared using
sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) at different crosslinking temperatures. The crosslinked PVA …

Nickel and nickel–copper alloy modified glassy carbon electrodes (GC/Ni and GC/NiCu)
prepared by galvanostatic deposition were examined for their redox process and …

Novel anion exchange membranes based on the copolymers of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium
chloride (AmimCl) ionic liquid either with methyl methacrylate (MMA) or butyl methacrylate …

Low-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells directly fed by methanol and
ethanol were investigated employing carbon supported Pt, PtSn and PtRu as anode …

In this study, the transport properties (ie methanol and proton transport) of a triblock
copolymer ionomer, sulfonated poly (styrene-isobutylene-styrene)(S-SIBS), at various ion …

The deployment of direct methanol fuel cells requires engineering cost-effective and durable
electrocatalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). As an alternative to noble metals …
