Abstract
The development and characterization of the electrochemical behavior of carbon dispersed Pd electrocatalysts (bare and modified with Ni, Co or CeO2) will be studied for the ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline medium. The electrocatalysts will be obtained by the surface modification of high area carbon powder (Vulcan XC-72 or Vulcan XC-72R) with the corresponding elements by the sol-gel m…
