Porous Pt–Pd nanodendrites were fabricated by a co-chemical reduction method using both PVP and urea as the co-stabilizing and co-structure-directing agents. The Pt–Pd nanodendrites displayed high catalytic activity and stability toward the electrooxidation of methanol and ethylene glycol in alkaline media.

Octahedral molecular sieve type manganese oxide (OMO) was synthesized by the ultra sonic assisted hydrothermal method, and was subsequently used as supportive material for palladium (Pd) metal towards the electrooxidation of methanol and ethylene glycol. The Pd nanoparticles were coated on the OMO by insitu reduction method. Low quantity of 5% Pd metal was used and the electrocatalytic activity was studied. The prepared OMO and the OMO/Pd nanocomposite were characterized by powder X–ray diffractogram (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X–ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electrochemical methods. These studies demonstrated that the OMO can act as a good catalyst supporting material. The OMO helps to enhance the catalytic activity of Pd metal by supplying the active oxygen, which is extracted from the electrolytic solution. The electrooxidation of EG shows improved catalytic activity.

Hydroxyapatite nanorod-supported metallic Cu0 nanoparticle catalysts (Cux/HAP) were prepared by the wetness chemical reduction method. The metallic Cu0 nanoparticles were well dispersed on the surfaces of the HAP nanorods. The alkaline HAP nanorods inhibited the crystal growth of the metallic Cu0 nanoparticles. The HAP nanorods also retarded the oxidation of the metallic Cu0 nanoparticles. The Cux/HAP catalyst exhibited a higher catalytic activity for the oxidation of 1,2-propanediol with gaseous oxygen to lactic, acetic, and formic acids with the total selectivity of 70.3% even at a lower reaction temperature of 140 °C. The total selectivity of lactic, acetic, and formic acids reached 93.1% at a mild reaction temperature of 180 °C. However, the sole monometallic Cu0 nanoparticles or HAP nanorods had no catalytic activity for the oxidation of 1,2-propanediol. The metallic Cu0 nanoparticles and alkaline HAP nanorods in the Cux/HAP catalyst synergistically catalyzed the oxidation of 1,2-propanediol to carboxylic acid.

Porous coral-like Pd/C3N4-C nanocomposites are fabricated by a simple one-pot chemical reduction method. Their electrocatalytic performance is ~50% higher than a carbon-loaded palladium electrocatalyst (Pd/C) in alkaline media. This confirms that the glucose electrooxidation and sensing performance of a Pd/C can be improved by the synergy of graphitic carbon nitride (C3N4), though C3N4 exhibits poor electrical conductivity. Compared to Pd/C, the size of Pd nanoparticles in Pd/C3N4-C decreases. As a result, the activity of Pd/C3N4-C is enhanced due to the higher dispersion and the synergistic effect. Pd/C3N4-C presents a rapid response and high sensitivity to glucose. The sensitivity for glucose sensing at Pd/C3N4-C is 3.3 times that of at Pd/C in the range of 0.001–10 mM. In the lower range of 0.001–1 mM, the sensitivity at Pd/C3N4-C is ~10 times greater than Pd/C.

The mesoporous CeO2were prepared via a surfactant-assisted method of nanoparticle assembly, CTAB was used as surfactant. The mesoporous CeO2were used as the supports for preparingxAu/CeO2catalysts by the chemical reduction method, and the catalytic activities of the total oxidation of propane were studied. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM and N2adsorption techniques. The content of Au can affect the catalytic properties of thexAu/CeO2catalysts. 4Au/CeO2exhibited the highest catalytic activity in propane complete oxidation with theT100of 420 °C.

Porous Pd-Ni thin foam was fabricated by a rapid one-step electrodeposition process within hydrogen bubble dynamic template and characterized by SEM, EDS, and cyclic voltammetry. Morphology and composition of the foam can be modified significantly by applying different deposition conditions, such as concentration ratio of Pd (II) ions to Ni (II) ions in electrolytic solution and deposition time. Electrocatalytic activities of the foam towards methanol oxidation in alkaline media were investigated, which depend mainly on Pd components and its morphology. Low nickel content can assist Pd further enhance the electrocatalytic performance, particularly the tolerance to intermediates of methanol oxidation, while high nickel content brings adverse effect. The high catalytic activity and the low cost of the Pd-Ni foams enable them to be promising electrocatalysts for the oxidation of methanol in alkaline media.
