Abstract:The direct methanol fuel cell calls for designing various highly active catalysts containing less platinum, still keeping with reasonable stability. In this work, through controlling reaction system under acidic media (pH = 1), ∼3 nm PtPd nanoparticles are dispersed onto the TiO 2 support ( 3 PtPd/TiO 2 ) via a facile one-pot hydrothermal route. In comparison with that of homemade Pt/TiO 2 and commercial Pt black catalysts, as-synthesized 3 PtPd/TiO 2 shows a better performance for directly electrochemical cat… 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.
