Electrochemical Synthesis of a Composite of Few-Layer Graphene Structures with PdNi-Alloy Nanoparticles and Its Electrocatalytic Activity in the Methanol Oxidation Reaction

Abstract

Nanocomposites of few-layer graphene structures with PdNi-alloy nanoparticles are synthesized using the electrochemical dispersion method. The composites’ chemical modification is shown to lead to a significant increase in their electrocatalytic activity in the methanol oxidation reaction.
