NiMo Nanoparticles Anchored on N-Doped Carbon Rods for High-Efficiency Hydrogen Electrooxidation in Alkaline Media.

Anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) are promising clean energy devices of high efficiency; however, their large-scale applications suffer from high cost and/or poor activity of electrocatalysts, especially at the anode. Herein, an electrocatalyst composed of NiMo nanoparticles (≈50 nm) anchored on N-doped carbon rods (denoted as NMNC) has been synthesized by a facile calcination method. The as-prepared NMNC catalyst shows an especially high hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) activity (3.
