Electrooxidation of ethanol on platinum nanoparticles supported by ZrO2 nanotube matrix as a new highly active electrode

Structure effects of Pt15 clusters for the oxygen reduction reaction: first-principles calculations

“…Platinum clusters and nanoparticles (NPs) have great potential for applications and are important in the field of catalysis; for example, they are used in different reactions such as oxidative dehydrogenation of propane, 1 chemical conversion of methane, 2 styrene hydrogenation, 2 electrooxidation of ethanol, 3 the hydrogen evolution reaction, 4 and catalytic conversion of car exhaust. Indeed, platinum NPs with enzymatic properties have been proposed in the nanomedicine field to treat oxidative stress-dependent inflammatory diseases because of their biocompatibility and catalytic properties.…”

Mechanistic Insights for Photoelectrochemical Ethanol Oxidation on Black Gold Decorated Monoclinic Zirconia

“…Earlier very few studies had been carried out for the modified metal composite with ZrO 2 for ethanol oxidation such as Pt−ZrO 2 /C, 14 Pt/ZrO 2 /Si, 20 and Pt-NPs/ZrO 2 −NTs/Zr. 21 Usually carbon-based materials, conducting polymers, and metal oxide are used as support material. However, all these materials have their own technical constraints for practical applications.…”

“…Apart from the noble metal, metal oxides such as RuO 2 , SnO 2 , WO 3 , and ZrO 2 can improve the ethanol electro-oxidation through synergistic interaction with metals. Earlier very few studies had been carried out for the modified metal composite with ZrO 2 for ethanol oxidation such as Pt–ZrO 2 /C, Pt/ZrO 2 /Si, and Pt-NPs/ZrO 2 –NTs/Zr .
