This review focuses on polyhedron-engineered Pt-based nanocrystals as highly active ORR catalysts for PEMFCs.
Flexible supercapacitors with considerable energy storage performance from green/sustainable materials have attracted significant attention in many fields, such as portable and wearable electronics. In this work, flexible cellulose nanofibers/reduced graphene oxide/polypyrrole (CNFs/rGO/PPy) aerogel electrodes well-defined three-dimensional porous structures are prepared using citric acid-Fe3+ (CA-Fe3+) complexes oxidant precursors to command the deposition of PPy. The situ gradual release...
Carbon/polypyrrole (PPy) composites are promising electrode materials for energy storage applications such as lightweight capacitors. Although these composed of relatively inexpensive components, there is a gap knowledge regarding the correlation between surface, porosity, ion exchange dynamics, and interplay double layer capacitance pseudocapacitance. In this work we evaluate specific surface area analyzed by BET method accessible ions using electrochemical quartz-crystal microbalance...
Due to their large specific surface areas and porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have found many applications in catalysis, gas separation, storage. However, use as electronic components such supercapacitors is stunted due poor electrical conductivity. We report a remedy for this by combining the MOF structure with polypyrrole (PPy), well-known conductive polymer. Three MOFs are studied modification end: CPO-27-Ni CPO-27-Co (M2DOBDC, M = Ni2+, Co2+, DOBDC...

The catalytic activity of PEM fuel cell electrodes is determined by the complex physicochemical interactions among components electrocatalytic interface: precious metal catalyst, support, and ionomer. In present study, effect carbon support meso- microporosity was investigated in relation with both Nafion content distribution catalyst layer. ionomer load between 0.09 1.1 mg cm−2 layers prepared either Nafion-coated or Nafion-mixed techniques, while Pt kept constant at 0.1 cm−2. Three...
A simple-to-use method of carbon support surface activation using a PdCl2−SnCl2 solution (referred to as the Shipley solution) was developed, for improving activity and durability low Pt loading (0.1 mg cm−2) catalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Three types supports were investigated: Denka, Graphitized Carbon (GC) Vulcan XC-72R. nanoparticles synthesized by modified polyol process adsorbed on treated supports. The resulting catalyst composition Pt-SnO2−Pd/C with beneficial...
