Electrocatalytic methanol oxidation over Cu, Ni and bimetallic Cu-Ni nanoparticles supported on graphitic carbon nitride

Ni, Cu and Cu–Ni nanostructures have been fabricated and homogeneously embedded on ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) carbon nitride (g-C3N4), and the surface morphology and composition of the resulting hybrid nanostructures were studied by XRD, TEM, HRTEM-elemental mapping, Raman spectroscopy and XPS. The new hierarchical hetero-structures dropcasted on GC anodes have been visualised by SEM and their catalytic performance have been examined in...
