Over the past few decades, direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have been intensively
developed as clean and high-efficiency energy conversion devices. However, their …

This mini-review summarizes materials design methods, oxygen reduction kinetics,
tolerance to small organic molecules and fuel cell performance of chalcogenide metal …

With worldwide petroleum resources dwindling and greenhouse gas emissions rising, it is
urgent to find renewable replacements for petroleum-derived products. A biomass-derived …

Activated carbon (AC) and three graphite materials were studied as supports for Ru
catalyzed glycerol hydrogenolysis to propanediols and 1-propanol. Structural characteristics …

The increasing demand for conversion and storage of energy has been the driving force for
scientific pursuits towards developing novel, highly active and selective materials. In the …

We present transmission electron microscope (TEM) tomography investigations of ruthenium-
based fuel cell catalyst materials as employed in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). The …

Carbon-supported Se/Ru (Se) catalysts of a broad range of composition were synthesized
via a reduction procedure in which a mixture of RuCl3, SeO2 and Black Pearl carbon was …

Ruthenium selenide (RuSe) supported on a carbon nanotube (CNT) material, ie, RuSe/CNT,
with a controlled composition (Ru: Se= 1: 0.2) was synthesized using a modified polyol …

Carbon supported RuSex (x= 0.35–2) catalysts of controlled stoichiometry and phase are
synthesized via precipitating ruthenium nanoparticles on Vulcan XC-72R, then selenizing …

This review is devoted to discussing the state of the art in the relevant aspects of the
synthesis of novel precious and non-precious electrocatalysts. It covers the production of Pt …
