Design, synthesis and investigations of PdxSn1-x nanoparticle-impregnated NiTiO3 as highly active electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline medium

Microwave Assisted Synthesis of PtxRu1−x-NiTiO3: A Novel Hybrid Nanostructured Electrocatalyst for Direct Methanol Oxidation

“…Since the XPS of the NiTiO 3 component in this heterostructured electrocatalyst has already been reported by us in our earlier work. 10 This work discusses the XPS studies of Pt and Ru components only. Typical core level high-resolution XPS spectra for the Pt and Ru elements acquired from Pt 0.5 Ru 0.5 -NiTiO 3 are presented in Figs.…”

“…Preparation of Pt x Ru 1-x -NiTiO 3 .-The heterostructured Pt x Ru 1-x -NiTiO 3 electrocatalyst was prepared in nanostructured form as reported elsewhere. 10 In a typical synthesis, using precursor materials such as Ni(NO 3 ) 2 .9H 2 O (Himedia Chemicals, India) and Ti(OC 4 H 9 ) 4 (Sigma-Aldrich), first, the NiTiO 3 nanoparticles were prepared by Sol-Gel method. The citric acid (Thermofisher) and ethylene glycol (Himedia chemicals, India) were used as a chelating agent and solvent, respectively.…”

“…The working electrode was prepared using these electrocatalysts on a 3 mm glassy carbon electrode, using the same method as reported earlier. 10…”
