Article Summary: Strong Metal-Support Interaction and Alloying in Pd/ZnO Catalysts for CO Oxidation (2016)

The effects of the strong metal-support interaction on Pd/ZnO and its catalytic behavior is investigated in an article by Patrick Kast et al. They reduced samples of differing loadings under various conditions of reducing temperature and atmosphere and used them to catalyze CO-oxidation. These were characterized using a variety of techniques. The strong metal-support interaction …

Article Summary: “The Effect of Carbonate and pH on Hydrogen Oxidation and Oxygen Reduction on Pt-Based Electrocatalysts in Alkaline Media” (2016)

In the article by Samuel St. John et al. the authors examined the effects of pH and carbonate on the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with Ru-Pt alloy catalysts and compared this against Pt monometallic catalyst. Ru-Pt alloys are of interest because they are the best performing HOR catalysts for alkaline …
