1D-2D hybridization: Nanoarchitectonics for grain boundary-rich platinum nanowires coupled with MXene nanosheets as efficient methanol oxidation electrocatalysts

Ultrafine Rh nanocrystals immobilized on 3D boron and nitrogen co-doped graphene–carbon nanotube networks: high-efficiency electrocatalysts towards the methanol oxidation reaction

“…The detailed preparation procedures for the working electrode as well as the electrochemical methods have been described in our previous studies. 56,57 The loading density of metal Rh on the working electrode was calculated to be 0.028 mg cm −2 . The electrocatalytic methanol oxidation tests were conducted in a mixed electrolyte containing 1 mol L −1 KOH and 1 mol L −1 CH 3 OH.…”

Synergizing the internal electric field and ferroelectric polarization of the BiFeO3/ZnIn2S4 Z-scheme heterojunction for photocatalytic overall water splitting

“…In parallel, surface features of catalysts including functional group, 21 atomic defects, 22,23 and junctions [24][25][26][27] have a great impact on charge migration and utilization. Considering the fact that the band of BiFeO 3 straddles the water redox energy only, loading noble-metal-based water redox cocatalysts just enhanced oxygen evolution activity, difficult to nish the overall water splitting.…”

Ultrafine Rh nanocrystals grown onto a boron and nitrogen codoped carbon support with a horn-shaped structure for highly efficient methanol oxidation

“…1–5 Due to the characteristics of high efficiency, simple construction, and low working temperature, direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have been regarded as an advanced energy generation technology, and they have great application potential in electric vehicles, aerospace, and mobile power supply. 6,7 However, the promotion and application of DMFCs have been largely suppressed by the inherently slow methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) kinetics, which highlights the necessity of the design and fabrication of highly-active anode catalysts. 8,9…”
