Article Synopsis
- Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs) face challenges like high costs of platinum, slow methanol oxidation, and carbon monoxide interference that limit their commercialization.
- The introduction of carbon nanocages (CNCs) made from polypyrrole pyrolysis improves the electrochemical performance due to their high surface area and effective metal dispersion.
- The PtRu/CNC-Ppy750 catalyst shows significantly better methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) performance compared to conventional carbon black supports, making it a promising candidate for enhancing DMFC technology.
Due to growing environmental concerns and regulations limiting the use of harmful and toxic synthetic corrosion inhibitors, there is a high demand for sustainable corrosion inhibitors. In this study, a green and rapid technique was used to synthesize amide -(4-aminobutyl)palmitamide (BAPA) which yielded 91.17% of the product within 2 min, compared to a low yield of 75-80% and a very long 8-10 h reaction time with the conventional thermal condensation method.

Three different forms of modified TiO2, namely, TiO2/activated carbon (AC), TiO2/carbon (C), and TiO2/PANi, were compared. The TiO2/carbon composite was obtained by pyrolysis of TiO2/PANi prepared by in situ polymerization method, while the TiO2/activated carbon (TiO2/AC) was obtained after treating TiO2/carbon with 1.
