Electrocatalytic Oxidation
of Methanol on an
Pd/Pyy/Niad-atoms Electrode
In this paper we study the effect of Niad-atoms on the activity of a Pd/Pyy nanocomposite
anode, we find that the catalytic activity of an anode towards methanol oxidation
increased by threefold in the presence of Niad-atoms. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4024834]
Keywords: electrochemical oxidation of methanol, palladium nanoparticles, electrolyte
membrane fuel cells
