Sustainable application of pecan nutshell waste: Greener synthesis of Pd-based nanocatalysts for electro-oxidation of methanol

Bimetallic carbon-supported nanoparticles, AuPd/C and AgPd/C, are synthesized using aqueous extract of pecan nutshell waste and their electrocatalytic performance compared to commercial Pd/C for electro-oxidation of methanol in alkaline direct fuel cells.370
