Nanoengineered Pt-V catalysts promote efficient methanol oxidation in carbon nanotubes.

ABSTRACT: In parallel with the developments in the field of energy, research on fuel cells, a renewable energy source, has accelerated. At this rate, the catalysts developed for fuel cells are of great importance. In this study, Platinum (Pt) and Vanadium (V) nanomachines supported on Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) were successfully synthesized by the chemical reduction method, as it is a fast method. Alkaline medium was preferred as the buffer solution for the catalysts used in the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The morphology, particle size, and composition of the synthesized PtV@MWCNT catalysts were analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Raman Spectroscopy, and X-ray Diffractometer (XRD). The particle size of the PtV@MWCNT structure was
