“…There are numerous studies on direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), while it has significant disadvantages like high crossover and its toxicological property that introduces important obstacles for the commercialization of DMFCs . Similar disadvantages have been reported for other liquid fuels such as the limited reaction rate of ethanol and formation of carbonaceous species as a result of ethylene glycol electrooxidation . Advantageous properties of formic acid (FA) such as being eco‐friendly, having low crossover, and high electromotive force made it an alternative liquid fuel.…”

Summary The main purpose of this study is to investigate the optimum Pd:Ni molar ratio for carbon nanotube–supported PdNi (PdxNi100‐x/CNT) alloy catalysts toward formic acid electrooxidation (FAE). NaBH4 reduction method was employed for the synthesis of Pd90Ni10/CNT, Pd70Ni30/CNT, Pd50Ni50/CNT, and Pd40Ni60/CNT. Synthesized catalysts were characterized by employing advanced surface analytical techniques, namely, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption‐desorption, and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS). The characterization results showed that all catalysts were successfully synthesized at desired molar composition. Pd90Ni10/CNT displayed the highest specific and mass activities with 2.32 mA/cm2 and 613.9 mA/mg Pd, respectively. Specific activity of the Pd90Ni10/CNT was found approximately 3.6, 2.3, 11.1, and 3.4 times higher than those of Pd70Ni30/CNT, Pd50Ni50/CNT, Pd40Ni60/CNT, and Pd/CNT, respectively. The synergistic effect between Pd and Ni at optimized metal ratio was utilized to obtain an improvement in specific activity. Furthermore, Pd90Ni10/CNT showed the lowest charge transfer resistance (Rct) and a long‐term stability. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the optimization of atomic molar composition for PdxNi100‐x/CNT catalysts toward FAE.

Summary At present, N‐, S‐, and B‐doped grapheme‐modified indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes are produced and doping method effect on the glucose electrooxidation is investigated. Firstly, few‐layer graphene is produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Then, N, S, and B doping is carried out after graphene produced by CVD to prepare N‐doped, B‐doped, and S‐doped few‐layer graphene. N, S, and B doping is carried out by two different ways as (a) doping after synthesis of few‐layer graphene and (b) in situ doping during few‐layer graphene production. These materials are characterized by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy‐energy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). One could note that graphene and nitrogen networks are clearly visible from SEM images. Raman spectra show that B, N, and S are doped on few‐layer graphene/ITO successfully. XPS results of graphene, N‐doped graphene, and in situ N‐doped graphene reveal that graphene and nitrogen atoms used in the preparation of the electrodes obtain mainly in their elemental state. Then, these N‐, S‐, B‐doped and in situ N‐, S‐, B‐doped few‐layer graphene materials are coated onto indium tin oxide (ITO) to obtain N‐, S‐, B‐doped and in situ N‐, S‐, B‐doped ITO electrodes for glucose (C6H12O6) electrooxidation. C6H12O6 electrooxidation measurements are investigated with cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. As a result, in situ N‐doped few‐layer graphene/ITO electrode displays the best C6H12O6 electrooxidation activity with 9.12 mA.cm−2 current density compared with other N‐, S‐, B‐doped graphene and in situ doped S and B grapheme‐modified ITO electrodes. Furthermore, this current density value for in situ N‐doped few‐layer graphene/ITO is highly above the values reported in the literature. In situ N‐doped few‐layer graphene/ITO electrode is a promising electrode for C6H12O6 electrooxidation because it exhibits the best electrocatalytic activity, stability, and resistance compared with other electrodes.

At present, few‐layer graphene is deposited on copper (Cu) foil by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Then, the few‐layer graphenes produced on the Cu foil are coated onto the indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode to investigate their glucose electrooxidation activities. Hexane and hydrogen flow rate and deposition time parameters with CVD method are examined on different Cu foils. These electrodes are characterized by scanning electron microscopy‐energy dispersive X‐ray analysis (SEM‐EDX), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, glucose electrooxidation is examined with cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. One could note that the graphene network is clearly visible from SEM images. The deconvoluted XPS spectrum indicates that carbon appeared in the form of non‐oxygenated ring C atoms for few‐layer graphene. The few‐layer graphene structure is confirmed by Raman analysis. Few‐layer graphene/ITO produced at 5 sccm Hexane and 50 sccm hydrogen flow rate and 20 minutes deposition time (G7/ITO) reveals the best electrode activity. The specific activity of G7/ITO electrode is obtained as 6.58 mA cm−2. According to CV, CA, and EIS results, G7/ITO electrode has high electrocatalytic activity, stability, and resistance in comparison with other electrodes.
