A Pt-Ru/Graphitic carbon nanofiber nanocomposite exhibiting high relative performance as a direct-methanol fuel cell anode catalyst
Article Abstract:
A Pt-Ru/herringbone graphitic carbon nanofibresnanocomposite (GCNF) is generated utilizing metal source of single-source molecular originator. Comparative analysis of this nanocomposite and an unsupported Pt-Ru colloid of similar surface area in a functioning direct-methanol fuel cell show an increase of 50% for the Pt-Ru/GCNF nanocomposite activity.

Supported tantalum oxide catalysts: synthesis, physical characterization, and methanol oxidation chemical probe reaction
Article Abstract:
Supported tantalum oxide catalysts on Al2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, and SiO2 supports were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The Al2O3-, TiO2-, and ZrO2- supported tantalum oxide catalysts, possessing monolayer surface coverage of surface TaOx species, were found to exhibit 100% dimethyl ether originating from surface acidic sites.
