Fabrication of Platinum Nanoparticle/Boron Nitride Quantum Dots/6-Methyl-2-(3-Hydroxy-4-Methoxybenzylidenamino)-Benzothiazole (Ils) Nanocomposite for Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Methanol

Abstract

Fuel cells have important applications in recent decades due to high-energy demands, fossil fuel depletions and environmental pollution throughout world. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts a source fuel into an electrical current. It generates electricity inside a cell through reactions between a fuel and an oxidant, triggered in the presence of an electrolyte. In this study, preparation of Platinum nanoparticle (PtNPs)/boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs)/6-methyl-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidenamino)-benzothiazole (ILs) nanocomposite (PtNPs/BNQDs/ILs) has been made. Afterwards, using various equipment and methods, characterization has been carried out. These equipment and methods are as follows: Transmission Electron Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope, X-Ray Photo Electron Spectroscopy, Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction Method. The catalyst developed on PtNPs/BNQDs/ILs has proven to be costeffective. Moreover, the PtNPs/BNQDs/ILs nanocomposite has achieved a higher peak for the current oxidation of methanol, when compared to BNQDs/ILs and ILs. Therefore, this catalyst has a better catalytic activity.

A Review on van der Waals Boron Nitride Quantum Dots

“…Beytur [116] reported the use of BNQDs in preparation for Platinum nanoparticle (PtNPs)/BNQDs/6-methyl-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidenamino)-benzothiazole(ILs) nanocomposite (PtNPs/BNQDs/ILs) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol. The performance of this nanocomposite was better than while using only ILs and BNQDs/ILs.…”

Synthesis, Spectroscopic Analysis, and in Vitro/in Silico Biological Studies of Novel Piperidine Derivatives Heterocyclic Schiff‐Mannich Base Compounds

“…Heterocyclic bases are defined as cyclic compounds consisting of carbon and heteroatom(s) within a ring [1] . They exhibit a variety of chemical [2–4] and biological applications as a result of their structural diversity [2,5–7] . About 70 % of drugs in the market have heterocyclic structures, and nearly sixty per cent of these structural scaffolds contain sulfur or nitrogen [8] .…”

“…Moleküler yapılar, yeni materyallerin ve ilaçların tasarımı da dahil olmak üzere biyoloji ve kimyanın birçok alanını yöneten kovalent olmayan etkileşimleri kolayca tanımlamaz. Bu nedenle, son yıllarda araştırmacılar bu etkileşimleri tanımlayabilmek için bilgisayar destekli programlar kullanmaktadırlar (Beytur, 2020;Beytur et al, 2019;Beytur & Avinca, 2021;Johnson et al, 2010;Uğurlu & Beytur, 2020). Moleküler Docking, bir hedef proteinin (reseptör) bağlanma bölgesi içindeki ligand (ilaç) moleküllerinin etkileşiminin incelenmesi yoluyla ilaç keşfi ve geliştirilmesi için umut verici bir araçtır (Boy et al, 2021;Cheke, 2020;Singh & Florez, 2020).…”
