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.

The alloy catalyst has been widely used because it will be able to improve the activity and selectivity of the single metal catalyst in a given chemical reaction. In this study, the preparation and characteristics of nanosized Pt and Au particles on alumina and their catalytic activity were described. Nanosized Pt–Au catalysts were prepared by impregnation (IMP) method and deposition (DP) method using alumina or ZnO/Al2O3 as support. The size of Pt and Au particles were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Catalytic activity for oxidation of methanol was measured using a flow reactor. It could be seen that the Pt particle size and dispersion in the alloy catalysts was rarely influenced by preparation methods and Au particles coated by deposition method were well dispersed. TEM images showed that Au particles were well dispersed in the Pt/Au/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst of which Au particles was supported by deposition method. The catalytic activity for methanol are given in the order of Pt-Au[IMP]/ZnO/Al2O3 > Pt[IMP]/Au[DP]/ZnO/Al2O3 > Au[DP]/Pt[IMP]/ZnO/Al2O3 > Pt-Au[DP]/ZnO/Al2O3. Therefore, Au particle size was doing not play an important role in increasing the oxidation activity, but the Au particles may promote the methanol oxidation.

Porous Pd-Ni thin foam was fabricated by a rapid one-step electrodeposition process within hydrogen bubble dynamic template and characterized by SEM, EDS, and cyclic voltammetry. Morphology and composition of the foam can be modified significantly by applying different deposition conditions, such as concentration ratio of Pd (II) ions to Ni (II) ions in electrolytic solution and deposition time. Electrocatalytic activities of the foam towards methanol oxidation in alkaline media were investigated, which depend mainly on Pd components and its morphology. Low nickel content can assist Pd further enhance the electrocatalytic performance, particularly the tolerance to intermediates of methanol oxidation, while high nickel content brings adverse effect. The high catalytic activity and the low cost of the Pd-Ni foams enable them to be promising electrocatalysts for the oxidation of methanol in alkaline media.

The catalytic properties of MnMoO4-based catalysts toward methanol oxidation are investigated. The effect of temperature, flow rate and gas mixture composition on the catalytic activity is established. The highest activity and selectivity (comparable with those of industrial catalysts) of the samples obtained by precipitation in the presence of a small excess of MoO3 was found. The oxidation of methanol on MnMoO4-based catalyst is proposed to be a two-step process. The first step includes methanol interaction with Mo(VI) and reduction of Mo(VI) to Mo(V) (Mo(IV)). The second step consists in direct oxidation of the reduced molybdenum by oxygen from the alcohol-air mixture.
