[ 1 ] - Preparation and Characterization of Electrocatalyst Nanoparticles for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Applications Using β-D-glucose as Protection Agent

In this study, the activity, stability and performance of carbon supported platinum (Pt/C) electrocatalyst in cathode and carbon supported Pt and ruthenium (PtRu/C) electrocatalyst in anode of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) were studied. The Pt/C and PtRu/C electrocatalysts were prepared by impregnation reduction method. The β-D-glucose was used as protection agent to reduce the particle size...

[ 2 ] - Micrometric Growth of V2O5Hexagonal Nano-plates as an Active Material for Lithium Ion Battery Cathode Electrode

This manuscript reports the synthesis of V2O5 nanostructures using reflux method, without using additives such as surface reactants. The influence of reaction parameters like temperature and concentration on the growth of nanostructures have been investigated. It has been observed that the nanostructures are formed with a hexagonal nano-plate morphology, grown from a common core. The diameter o...
