Activated Graphite Supported Tunable Au-Pd Bimetallic Nanoparticle Composite Electrode for Methanol Oxidation.

Methanol (CH₃OH) is a favorable fuel for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) in compact devices. This work, we present a facile and simple approach to make divergent molar ratios uniform gold (Au) and palladium (Pd) nanoparticles (NPs) decoration on an activated graphite (AGR) electrode. The binary combination of these AGR/Au-Pd catalysts composition is controlled by modifying the molar ratio of the Au and Pd precursors.
