Author:Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Scriba, Manfred R; Coville, NJDate:Nov 2014Bimetallic Pt nanoparticles were prepared by alloying Pt with the non-noble transition metals, Co and Ni, using a conventional heat-treatment (HT) method and microwaveirradiation (MW). The resulting samples were PteCo-Ht, PteNi-HT, PteCo, MW ...Read more
Author:Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Scriba, Manfred R; Rikhotso, Rirhandzu S; Coville, NJDate:2017Bimetallic Pt–Ni nanoparticles were synthesized for use as electrocatalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction using a cost-effective microwave-irradiation synthesis procedure that offers precise temperature control. By varying the concentration ...Read more
