Eiectro-Oxidation Of Methanol On Pdnio/C Catalyst In Alkaline Medium, Mei-Li Wang, Lin Sang, Cheng-De Huang
Journal of Electrochemistry
The electro-oxidation of methanol in alkaline electrolyte at in-house synthesized PdNiO/C and Pd/C catalysts and the effect of heat treatment on the structure and performance of catalysts were studied by cyclic voltammetry,chronoamperometry,chronopotentiometry and X-ray diffraction methods.It is shown that when the reduction temperature is 70℃ and the ratio between Pd and Ni is 8∶2,The PdNiO/C catalyst presents a highest activity for methanol electrooxidation.Calcining can increase the particle size and crystallinity of catalysts,but decrease the dispersion and activity of catalysts, too.Besides,the NiO is disengaged from Pd lattice by heat-treatment.The optimal PdNiO/C catalyst shows higher catalytic activity and much better poisoning resistance …

TO study of the oxygen storage material of air cathode is crucial for increasing performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell.Using the MnO2 as oxygen storage materials,a MnO2-Pt/C catalysts were prepared and is used to replace the conventional Pt/C in air cathode.The electrochemical performance of air cathode composed of MnO2 supported on Pt/C and the properties of fuel cell composed of MnO2-Pt/C were investigated by using the CV,galvanostatic dischange method and TEM.

Mg-x %Mg1.8La0.2Ni(x=10,20 and 30)nanocomposites have been synthesized by high-energy ball milling method.Results of the X-ray diffraction(XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and selected area electron diffraction(SAED)tests were showed that each composite had a nanocrystalline/amorphous structure,which was beneficial for the improvement of the hydriding and dehydriding properties of Mg.The hydrogen absorption temperature decreased and the hydrogen sorption kinetics were improved.Under the conditions of 423 K and the hydrogen pressure of 2.5MPa,each composite could reach the maximum hydriding capacity within 50 s.
