Abstract
Abstract
Herein, we present the utilization of Ni2+-doped amine-functionalized UiO-66-NH2 metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles deposited onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a precursor for electrocatalytically active catalyst towards methanol (MeOH) oxidation. The electrode material displayed an onset potential of 0.42 V (vs Hg/HgO) with maximum activity at 1 M MeOH concentration (143 mA.cm− 2 current density at 0.6 V vs Hg/HgO). The catalyst also demonstrated adequate stability, where 93.5% of its current density was retained after performing chronoamperometry for 1 hr.
