The concern about global warming bound to CO2 emissions has shifted the attention of scientific, industrial, and social communities from mere use cheap abundant energy sources exploitation renewable energies expansion relevant transmission network. Within this frame, H2 is progressively assuming role preferred vector thanks i) its abundance, it possible obtain water (photo-)electrolysis; ii) “c...

Developing highly efficient platinum-group-metal-free electrocatalysts towards hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) under alkaline electrolyte is critical for the development of exchange member fuel cells. Herein, we reported synthesis boron doped Ni electrocatalyst (B-Ni/C) and its remarkable HOR performance, with a 10-fold mass activity enhancement compared that undoped catalyst. Experimental re...

Direct liquid fuel cells (DLFCs) are promising clean energy conversion devices for their high density, low environmental pollution, and convenient transportation storage. However, the commercialization of DLFCs is still limited by lack highly active stable catalysts anodic oxidation fuels. Herein, a new class ultrathin PtRu nanowires (NWs) with diameter 1.1 nm was synthesized via colloidal chem...
