Investigation and characterization of Pt-modified Au catalysts and polymer composites by electrochemistry, Raman and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)
This dissertation thesis consists of six chapters. The main focus of this study is the need for understanding the reaction mechanism and intermediates formed on Pt-modified Au surface as anode catalysts in the formic acid fuel cells. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to formic acid and methanol fuel c...
