Methanol oxidation on titanium supported nickel

Electrochemical oxidation of methanol on platinum and platinum-based catalysts has been extensively examined. It is well-known that nickel and some Ni-based materials exhibit attractive activity for the electrochemical oxidation of some organic molecules like methanol, ethanol, cyclohexanol, glucose and aspirin. The titanium is a hard metal. It is corrosion resistant, has a high mechanical strength, a reasonable cost, wide electrochemical potential windows and good stability.
