ABSTRACTUnsupported different atomic ratios of platinum-ruthenium bulk alloys were prepared. The alloys were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. These alloys were also tested as anodes for methanol electro-oxidation in sulfuric acid over a range of temperatures. Ruthenium is inactive for methanol electro-oxidation at 25 °C, but becomes active at higher temperatures. When a comparison is made on the basis of “true” (hydrogen adsorption) surface area, a 30 atomic percent Ru electrocatalyst provides the highest activity for methanol electro-oxidation as measured at either 0.4 or 0.5V vs. RHE at both 25 and 60 °C.

AbstractTwo hydrothermal techniques under microwave irradiation were used to synthesize γ-MnO2 from 90°C to 150°C in 10−30 min. The first technique is based on reducing KMnO4 with MnSO4, and the second one involves liquid-phase oxidation between MnSO4 and (NH4)2S2O8. The structures and morphologies of the samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and N2 physisorption measurements. The electrochemical properties were evaluated through cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The γ-MnO2 materials obtained by the first technique mainly exhibited nanorods with diameters of 40–60 nm, and the samples obtained by the second technique showed flower-like microspheres with diameters of 1−2 µm; each flower was composed of nanosheets with a thickness of 10−20 nm. The processing time directly depends on the size of the nanorods. The sample synthesized by the first technique at 150°C and 10 min has the highest specific surface area of up to 59.08 m2 g−1 and mean pore diameter of 34.11 nm. Furthermore, this sample exhibits a near-rectangular cyclic voltammetry curves and high specific capacitance of 331.3 F g−1 in 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution at 5 mV s−1 scan rate. Graphic abstract

Abstract Ni2C electrocatalyst were synthesized and characterized for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) electrolyzer. One step hydrothermal technique is used to synthesize Ni2C sample. Platinum based electro catalyst materials are initial and best electro catalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER). Ni2C (Nickel Carbide electro catalyst) was examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical characterization like cyclic voltammetry (CV), Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies is employed to explore the elctrocatalytic behavior of Ni2C material for HER. FTIR study confirms the presence of Ni2C electrocatalyst by the presence of metal peaks and various functional groups. The isomeric nature and purity of synthesized material were explored by powder X-ray diffraction studies. Cyclic voltammetry technique was performed in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution to attain the polarization curve of Ni2C electrocatalyst for HER.

In this work, Yttria (Y2O3) was successfully doped into tetragonal 3mol% yttria stabilized Zirconia (3YSZ) by high energy-mechanical milling to synthesize 8mol% yttria stabilized Zirconia (8YSZ) used as an electrolyte for high temperature solid oxide fuel cells (HT-SOFC). This work aims to evaluate the densification and ionic conductivity of the sintered electrolytes at 1650°C. The bulk density was measured according to ASTM C373-17. The powder morphology and the microstructure of the sintered electrolytes were analyzed via Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The chemical analysis was obtained with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Also, X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to obtain structural information of the starting materials and the sintered electrolytes. The ionic conductivity was obtained through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the air as a function of temperatures at a frequency range of 100(mHz)-100(kHz). It is found that the 3YSZ has a higher density than the 8YSZ. The impedance analysis showed that the ionic conductivity of the prepared 8YSZ at 800°C is0.906 (S.cm) and it was 0.214(S.cm) of the 3YSZ. Besides, 8YSZ has a lower activation energy 0.774(eV) than that of the 3YSZ 0.901(eV). Thus, the prepared 8YSZ can be nominated as an electrolyte for the HT-SOFC.
