Nickel carbonate (Ni2(CO3)3) as an electrocatalyst and photo-electrocatalyst for methanol electro-oxidation

Electrochemical deposition of Ni 2 (CO 3 ) 3 on Pt and Pd electrodes for the methanol oxidation reaction has been reported. The Ni 2 (CO 3 ) 3 /Pt and Ni 2 (CO 3 ) 3 /Pd electrodes show efficient activity for MOR electrochemically as well as photoelectrochemically.
