Abstract:
A CuNiCe-O nanocomposite was fabricated on the Cu40Ni20Al10Ce26Pt3Ru1 metallic glass (MG) ribbon surface by dealloying. The influences of Ni and dealloying time on the morphology and EOR performance were analyzed. The results suggest that the catalytic activity and stability of the dealloyed MG ribbon could be significantly enhanced owing to the alloying of Ni to the Cu60Al10Ce26Pt3Ru1 MG ribbon precursor. The activated D-Cu40Ni20Al10Ce26Pt3Ru1 ribbon obtained at an etching time of 3 h had a better electrochemical ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) performance than other dealloyed samples due to the formation of abundant active sites and the presence of defects within the CuNiCe-O composite.

Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
