Abstract
Summary In this study, the electrocatalytic activity of mono‐metallic Co/NPC, bi‐metallic MnCo/NPC, and ternary NiMnCo/NPC in alkaline media for the methanol oxidation process was examined (MOR). These materials were produced using a simple solution mixing method and characterized using FTIR, EDX, SEM, XPS, TGA, and XRD. In a three‐electrode arrangement, on glassy carbon electrodes, the investigation of methanol oxidation for electrochemical activity of catalysts was carried in 1 M NaOH and 3 M CH 3 OH. Electrochemical studies included cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), and electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The ternary NiMnCo/NPC composite, which has a peak current density of 147.85 mA/cm 2 at 0.8 potential and a scan rate of 50 mV/s among all the composites developed, is a promising catalyst for methanol electrocatalysis.
