Outline of Final Research Achievements

We succeeded to prepare several types of nanoparticles having less expensive phosphorus, such as Pd-Ni-P amorphous nanoparticles and Pd-P@Pt core shell nanoparticles. These nanoparticles behaved as efficient electrocatalysts in methanol oxidation and degradation of formic acid. Furthermore, a new fabrication method of fine metal oxide nanomaterials was developed on the basis of this research.
