Cerium oxide-modified surfaces of several carbons as supports for a platinum-based anode electrode for methanol electro-oxidation

Pt1(CeO2)0.5 Nanoparticles Supported on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Methanol Electro-oxidation

“…Furthermore, the enhanced interaction between the CeO 2 substrate and Pt nanoparticles in promoting methanol oxidation has been well-demonstrated by Li et al Moreover, it has been indicated that CeO 2 can be used to effectively modify several carbon materials (reduced graphene oxide, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, etc.) for loading Pt nanoparticles . However, it has been found that these chemical reduction methods are based on the use of aqueous solutions or toxic organic solvents .…”

“…for loading Pt nanoparticles . However, it has been found that these chemical reduction methods are based on the use of aqueous solutions or toxic organic solvents . Thus, it will either accelerate the difficulties in adjusting the shape and dispersion of the obtained nanomaterials synthesized in water , or dispense more harmful/poisonous chemicals to the environment during the synthesis of nanomaterials in organic solvents .…”

Gold‐Nanoparticles‐Decorated ZrO2‐CuO Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Characterization and A Novel Platform for Electrocatalytic Formaldehyde Oxidation

“…[17] In addition, metal oxide electrocatalysts have become an attracted research point to obtain new anodic catalysts. Ethanol oxidation at Cu 2 O supported on polypyrrole film, [18] methanol oxidation at CeO 2 -Pt nanoparticles modified carbon based electrode, [19] hydrazine oxidation at NiOÀ N-doped hollow carbon nanospheres, [20] and formaldehyde oxidation at MnO 2decorated N-doped carbon nanotube electrode [21] are some examples of anodic catalysts designed to study the oxidation behaviour of different fuels. According to our knowledge, formaldehyde oxidation behaviour using ZrO 2 -CuO binary oxides has not been studied before.…”

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-supported Pd–CeO2 nanocomposites as highly active electrocatalysts for facile formic acid oxidation

“…In addition, it was demonstrated that CeO 2 has a high oxygen storage capacity which makes its surface more capable of oxidizing adsorbed CO-like species and improves the electrocatalytic activity. 57 The presence of Pd, CeO 2 and RGO in Pd-CeO 2 /RGO plays a promising role in enhancing the FAOR kinetics compared to the benchmark Pd/C and Pd/RGO electrocatalysts. To assess the durability of the electrocatalysts, chronoamperometry measurements were performed for 1000 s in a mixture of H 2 SO 4 (0.5 M) and HCOOH (0.5 M) saturated with nitrogen at 0.2 V and are presented in Fig.…”
