Carbon-supported (Vulcan XC-72) Pd, Rh, and PdxRhy (20 wt%, x:y = 1:1, 3:1, 1:3) electrocatalysts are prepared according a modified pulse-microwave assisted polyol synthesis method and their electrocatalytic activity toward ...

In the present work, the activity of PtxSny/C catalysts towards ethanol, acetaldehyde and acetic acid electrooxidation reactions is investigated for each one separately by means of cyclic voltammetry. To this purpose, a ...

The main target of the PEMFC's scientific community is to reduce the total Pt loading to ca. 150 g cm-2 MEA, maintaining simultaneously high PEMFCs performances. The last years, promising results have also been reported ...

In the present work, composite materials of the type (1-x)SrTi0.5Fe0.5O3-delta-xCe(0.8)(Sm0.8Sr0.2)(0.2)O2-delta (with x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1) are obtained by the two step solid state technique. Their transport ...

PtSn@Rh/C-HT catalysts were designed and synthesized by a two-step sequence synthesis: Rh was firstly deposited on the carbon support and then PtSn through microwave assisted polyol method, followed by the heat treatment ...

BaCe0.8-xZrxY0.2O3-delta-based materials (BCZYx, 0 <= x <= 0.8) are obtained through a modified citrate-nitrate combustion method at 1150 degrees C with following sintering at 1450 degrees C. Then their thermomechanical ...
