Ni-based catalyst supported on mesostructured silica nanoparticles (MSN) for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR)
A new catalyst based on mesostructured silica nanoparticle (5wt%, 20wt%, and 30wt% Ni-MSN) were prepared by the wet impregnation method and used for electro-oxidation of methanol. While, MSN as a catalyst support was synthesized using co-condensation and sol-gel method. The synthesized MSN and N...

| description | A new catalyst based on mesostructured silica nanoparticle (5wt%, 20wt%, and 30wt% Ni-MSN) were prepared by the wet
impregnation method and used for electro-oxidation of methanol. While, MSN as a catalyst support was synthesized using
co-condensation and sol-gel method. The synthesized MSN and Ni-MSN were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field
emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) techniques. Ni-MSN catalysts were
successfully prepared by mixing with the conducting graphite in 1:1 ratio which called carbon paste electrode (CPE). Mixing
with graphite, in this work, was particular necessary to increase the electrical conductivity of the Ni-MSN materials. For
fuel cell applications, the electrochemical measurements for methanol oxidation were investigated using cyclic voltammetry
(CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) in 1.0 M NaOH and 1.0 M CH3
OH for modified electrode, Ni-MSNCPE. Among the three
samples, 30wt% Ni-MSNCPE exhibits a high current density (~ 8 mA cm-2) and long-term chronoamperometry stability (3600
s) toward methanol oxidation in alkaline solution. This may attribute to the high dispersion of nickel and ordered mesoporous
structure which can facilitate the diffusion of methanol and products. 30wt% Ni nanoparticles supported onto MSN catalyst
demonstrate better electrocatalytic activity and stability than the 5wt% and 20wt% Ni-MSNCPE catalysts. |
