Water electrolysis is broadly considered one of the most promising technologies for green hy

Dual-functioning porous catalysts: robust electro-oxidation of small organic molecules and water electrolysis using bimetallic Ni/Cu foams†

Thu, 2024-08-22 10:30

In this work, we report a single-step preparation of porous Ni-based thin layer foams atop a Cu substrate via the facile dynamic hydrogen bubble template (DHBT) technique. As-prepared porous Ni-based foams were characterized by various electrochemical measurements, namely, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Controlled galvanic decoration boosting catalysis: Enhanced glycerol electro-oxidation at Cu/Ni modified macroporous films

Thu, 2024-08-22 10:27

We report on glycerol electro-oxidation in alkaline medium at macroporous Ni electrodes decorated with Cu particles. Macroporous Ni film is electrodeposited, using hydrogen bubbles as dynamic templates, atop of a Cu substrate.

3D Macroporous Catalysts: Impact of Additives on the Morphology and Performance of Cu/Cu2O Foam Prepared by Dynamic Hydrogen Bubble Template Towards Glycerol Electro-Oxidation

Macroporous Cu/Cu2O foam is electrochemically prepared using the dynamic hydrogen bubble template technique (DHBT) where a highly porous honeycomb-like Cu/Cu2O film is obtained. Various additives such as (NH4)2SO4, KBr, and KCl are added into the deposition bath of Cu to study their effect on the formation of Cu/Cu2O macroporous foam and their impact towards glycerol electro-oxidation reaction (GOR).

Tailor-Designed Porous Catalysts: Nickel-Doped Cu/Cu2O Foams for Efficient Glycerol Electro-Oxidation

Herein, Cu/Cu2O foams with dendritic‐like structures were electrodeposited atop a smooth Cu electrode by using a dynamic hydrogen bubbles technique, and they were used as efficient electrocatalysts for glycerol electrooxidation. The morphology, structure, and composition of the as‐prepared Cu/Cu2O foams were tuned by using additives (e. g.
