Abstract:Due to the complex reaction process involving six-electron transfer, high overpotential and slow kinetic rate of methanol oxidation, the development process of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) has been hampered. Herein, a simple one-step solvent reduction approach was employed to simultaneously reduce metal ions supported on carbon nanotubes and prepared ternary metal alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes electrocatalyst (PtRuPd@CNT). Compared with PtRu@CNT binary metal catalyst, the as-prepared P… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
