Improved catalytic activity in methanol electro-oxidation over the nickel form of aluminum-rich beta-SDS zeolite modified electrode†
Abstract
A glass carbon electrode was modified by the nickel form of an aluminum-rich beta-SDS zeolite synthesized from an organotemplate-free and seed-directed route. Catalytic tests in the electro-oxidation of methanol show that this modified electrode exhibits improved catalytic activity, compared with the electrode modified conventional nickel form of beta zeolite.
