Ammonia borane as an efficient direct fuel in alkaline fuel cells: mechanism, catalysts, applications, and challenges

“…39 The authors studied the morphologies and electrochemical performance of carbon-supported catalysts Ni Non-noble metal catalysts. Owing to their low cost, abundant resources, good conductivity, and promising electrocatalytic activity, transition metals have been widely studied and applied in the electrocatalytic eld such as the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), [63][64][65][66][67] oxygen evolution reaction (OER), [68][69][70][71][72] hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), [73][74][75][76] electrocatalytic nitrogen and CO 2 reduction reactions (NRR 77,78 and CO 2 RR [79][80][81] ). Therefore, researchers also explore transition metal-based electrocatalysts for the direct electrooxidation of AB.…”

Ru, B Co-doped hollow structured iron phosphide as highly efficient electrocatalyst toward hydrogen generation in wide pH range

“…36 Relatively, acid etching is a facile and lowcost approach to fabricating hollow structures. 37 Ji et al utilized acid etching to form CoP 3 nanowires with high specic surface area and excellent catalytic activity toward HER. 38 In this work, B, Ru co-doped hollow structured FeP was synthesized by ambient reduction, low-temperature phosphating and acid etching approach (Fig.…”

Nanoscale PtCuMn Hexapods for Methanol Electrocatalysis

“…Apart from improving the intrinsic catalytic properties of catalysts, another effective route to improving the catalytic performance is to increase the active sites available for catalysis by optimizing the geometry and surface morphology of nanocrystals. In this regard, a variety of Pt-based nanocrystals with distinctive morphologies, such as nanowires, − nanoplates, , nanoframes, − and nanodendrites, − have been prepared and investigated. Among them, nanomaterials with three-dimensional (3D) dendritic structures may present superior catalytic properties.…”
