Methane to methanol conversion using proton-exchange membrane fuel cells and PdAu/antimony-doped tin oxide nanomaterials. <b>Methane</b>, v. 2, n. 3, p. 252–264, 2023.

The study uses cyclic voltammetry, in situ Raman spectra, polarization curves, and FTIR analysis to determine the optimal composition of gold and palladium for enhancing the conversion process. The results demonstrate the potential for utilizing methane as a feedstock for producing sustainable energy sources. The Pd75Au25/ATO electrode exhibited the highest OCP value, and Pd50Au50/ATO had the highest methanol production value at a potential of 0.05 V. Therefore, it can be concluded that an optimal composition of gold and palladium exists to enhance the conversion of methane to methanol. The findings contribute to the development of efficient and sustainable energy sources, highlighting the importance of exploring alternative ways to produce methanol.252–264openAccessmethanemethanolfuel cellsproton exchange membrane fuel cellspalladiumgoldnanoparticlesArtigo de periódico3210.3390/methane20300170000-0001-8745-3421https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9287-6071Sem PercentilSem Percentil CiteScore
