Abstract
An amperometric enzyme-free hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor was developed by catalytically stabilizing active gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) of 4-5 nm on a porous titanium dioxide nanotube (TiO2 NTs) electrode. The Au NPs were homogeneously distributed on anatase TiO2 NTs with an outer diameter of ~102 nm, an inner diameter of ~60 nm, and a wall of thickness of ~40 nm. The cyclic voltammogram of the composite electrode showed a pair of redox peaks characterizing the electrocatalytic reduction of H2O2. The entrapping of Au NPs on TiO2 NTs prevented aggregation and facilitated good electrical conductivity and electron transfer rate, thus generating a wide linear range, a low detection limit of ~104 nM, and high sensitivity of ~519 µA/mM, as well as excellent selectivity, reproducibility, repeatability, and stability over 60 days. Furthermore, excellent recovery and relative standard deviation (RSD) were achieved in real samples, which were tap water, milk, and Lactobacillus plantarum bacteria, thereby verifying the accuracy and potentiality of the developed nonenzymatic sensor.

Abstract
Direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) have gained immense importance as a source of clean energy for portable electronic devices. It outperforms other fuel cells in several key operational and safety parameters. However, slow kinetics of the formic acid oxidation at the anode remains the main obstacle in achieving a high power output in DFAFCs. Noble metal-based electrocatalysts are effective, but are expensive and prone to CO poisoning. Recently, a substantial volume of research work have been dedicated to develop inexpensive, high activity and long lasting electrocatalysts. Herein, recent advances in the development of anode electrocatalysts for DFAFCs are presented focusing on understanding the relationship between activity and structure. This review covers the literature related to the electrocatalysts based on noble metals, non-noble metals, metal-oxides, synthesis route, support material, and fuel cell performance. The future prospects and bottlenecks in the field are also discussed at the end.

Abstract
Energy production and consumption without the use of fossil fuels are amongst the biggest challenges currently facing humankind and the scientific community. Huge efforts have been invested in creating technologies that enable closed carbon or carbon neutral fuel cycles, limiting CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Formic acid/formate (FA) has attracted intense interest as a liquid fuel over the last half century, giving rise to a plethora of studies on catalysts for its efficient electrocatalytic oxidation for usage in fuel cells. However, new catalysts and catalytic systems are often difficult to compare because of the variability in conditions and catalyst parameters examined. In this review, we discuss the extensive literature on FA electrooxidation using platinum, palladium and non-platinum group metal-based catalysts, the conditions typically employed in formate electrooxidation and the main electrochemical parameters for the comparison of anodic electrocatalysts to be applied in a FA fuel cell. We focused on the electrocatalytic performance in terms of onset potential and peak current density obtained during cyclic voltammetry measurements and on catalyst stability. Moreover, we handpicked a list of the most relevant examples that can be used for benchmarking and referencing future developments in the field.

Effects of the Incorporation of Distinct Cations in Titanate Nanotubes on the Catalytic Activity in NO x Conversion. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14092181. [PMID: 33923161 PMCID: PMC8123014 DOI: 10.3390/ma14092181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2021] [Revised: 04/14/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Effects of the incorporation of Cr, Ni, Co, Ag, Al, Ni and Pt cations in titanate nanotubes (NTs) were examined on the NOx conversion. The structural and morphological characterizations evidenced that the ion-exchange reaction of Cr, Co, Ni and Al ions with the NTs produced catalysts with metals included in the interlayer regions of the trititanate NTs whereas an assembly of Ag and Pt nanoparticles were either on the nanotubes surface or inner diameters through an impregnation process. Understanding the role of the different metal cations intercalated or supported on the nanotubes, the optimal selective catalytic reduction of NOx by CO reaction (SCR) conditions was investigated by carrying out variations in the reaction temperature, SO2 and H2O poisoning and long-term stability runs. Pt nanoparticles on the NTs exhibited superior activity compared to the Cr, Co and Al intercalated in the nanotubes and even to the Ag and Ni counterparts. Resistance against SO2 poisoning was low on NiNT due to the trititanate phase transformation into TiO2 and also to sulfur deposits on Ni sites. However, the interaction between Pt2+ from PtOx and Ti4+ in the NTs favored the adsorption of both NOx and CO enhancing the catalytic performance.

Influence of Photo-Deposited Pt and Pd onto Chromium Doped TiO2 Nanotubes in Photo-Electrochemical Water Splitting for Hydrogen Generation. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
Hydrogen (H2) is considered as an ideal fuel for the future. The photo-electrochemical (PEC) water splitting employing semiconducting materials and induced irradiation, preferably of solar spectrum, presents a viable route for H2 production. In this work, self-ordered chromium-doped TiO2 nanotube (CT) was fabricated using in-situ electro-anodization. CT surface modification was then performed by photo-deposition of Pt and Pd particles, producing Pt-CT and Pd-CT catalysts, respectively. Their morphological features, crystallinity, surface composition, and optical absorption have been inspected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Raman, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy. Linear sweep voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and open circuit potential methods have been applied to study PEC activities of Pt-CT and Pd-CT catalysts in a form of electrodes. It was found that Pt-CT and Pd-CT electrodes possess excellent photo-generated electron/hole (e−/h+) separation and transport properties. The enhanced photocurrent responses of 4 and 3 times more than that of CT are revealed for Pt-CT and Pd-CT, respectively. The activity of as-prepared Pt-CT and Pd-CT catalysts was then tested for H2 generation. The maximum amount of the evolved H2 followed decreasing order: 1.08 > 0.65 > 0.26 mL cm−2 h−1 for Pt-CT, Pd-CT, and CT electrodes, respectively, clearly showing the positive contribution of photo-deposited (nano)particles onto CT surface.

Abstract
This review addresses the main contributions of anodic oxide films synthesized and designed to overcome the current limitations of practical applications in energy conversion and storage devices. We present some strategies adopted to improve the efficiency, stability, and overall performance of these sustainable technologies operating via photo, photoelectrochemical, and electrochemical processes. The facile and scalable synthesis with strict control of the properties combined with the low-cost, high surface area, chemical stability, and unidirectional orientation of these nanostructures make the anodized oxides attractive for these applications. Assuming different functionalities, TiO2-NT is the widely explored anodic oxide in dye-sensitized solar cells, PEC water-splitting systems, fuel cells, supercapacitors, and batteries. However, other nanostructured anodic films based on WO3, CuxO, ZnO, NiO, SnO, Fe2O3, ZrO2, Nb2O5, and Ta2O5 are also explored and act as the respective active layers in several devices. The use of AAO as a structural material to guide the synthesis is also reported. Although in the development stage, the proof-of-concept of these devices demonstrates the feasibility of using the anodic oxide as a component and opens up new perspectives for the industrial and commercial utilization of these technologies.
