Abstract:Pd catalyst composited with a conducting polymer of polypyrrole is prepared and investigated as a stable H 2 electrooxidation catalyst in an acidic condition. A significant stability enhancement of Pd by compositing electropolymerized polypyrrole can be observed and its mechanistic scheme for the stability is discussed through several electrochemical and physicochemical characterizations on the polypyrrole-composited Pd catalysts.
“…The slight peak shifts observed in the negative and positive scans after coating with PyPBI are clearly indicative of the surface coverage of 2 . Similar peak shifts were also observed in the Pt coating with other polymers 16. Quite interestingly, the ECSA value, which represent the accessible surface area for hydrogen, for 2 (44.8 m 2 g Pt −1 ) was shown to be identical to that of 1 (43.6 m 2 g Pt −1 ).…”

MnO2 was synthesised as a catalyst support material using a hydrothermal method. This involved reacting MnSO4⋅H2O and (NH4)2S2O8 at 120 °C for a range of crystallisation times, which affords control over the morphology and phase composition of the MnO2 formed. Gold was deposited on these supports using sol-immobilisation, impregnation and deposition precipitation methods, and the resultant materials were used for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and carbon monoxide. The effect of the support morphology on the dispersion of the gold nanoparticles and the consequent effect on the catalytic performance is described and discussed.

“…Despite high kinetic activity and cost benefits over state of the art Pt catalysts, Pd based catalysts have not been used in the cathode of the most widely used acidic electrolyte PEMFC due to its inferior electrochemical instability compared to Pt [12,24,85]. The fundamental understanding of the stability issues of Pd based catalysts would be essential in order to further optimize the catalyst design and enhance their catalytic activity.…”

“…for obtaining the high ORR activity [36,37]. At present, Pt or Pd based nanocatalysts are increasingly developed because they are highly active electrocatalysts in fuel cells, especially for the commercialization and realization of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) [38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Thus, Pt-Pd nanocatalysts become a suitable choice of replacing Pt-Ru nanocatalysts in DMFCs because the cost of Pt-Ru nanocatalysts is much higher [45][46][47][48][49][50][51].…”

“…In order to improve their catalytic performance, new Pt-nanoparticles catalysts are developed [12]. Because of pure Pt-based catalyst of high cost, various kinds of Pt-based alloy and core-shell catalysts, ternary Pt-based catalysts, and even more various compositions have been developed and tested in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) [3,12,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55].…”
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.
