An active Ni(OH)2/MnCO3 catalyst with efficient synergism for alkaline methanol oxidation†
Abstract
A novel Ni(OH)2/MnCO3 hybrid catalyst was developed for high-performing alkaline methanol electro-oxidation, which could well overcome the shortages of inactive MnCO3 and low intrinsic Ni(OH)2 due to the good synergistic catalysis effect from the Jahn–Teller distortion effect.
