Optimizing Sustainable Energy Generation in Ethanol Fuel Cells: An Exploration of Carrageenan with TiO Nanoparticles and Ni/CeO Composites.

Based on the search for new biodegradable materials that are low cost and easy to synthesize by environmentally friendly methods, we report the use of carrageenan membranes (mixture of κ and λ carrageenans) with different concentrations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) and Ni/CeO (10 wt % Ni) for the fabrication of a novel fuel cell electrode for the oxidation of ethanol. Each membrane was characterized to determine its physicochemical properties using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Using impedance spectroscopy (IS), a maximum value of 2.
