Cyclic voltammetry insights into Ni/Al-carbonate hydrotalcite catalysis for methanol oxidation by Bushra Bari, Pawan Tyagi, Uche Udeochu

“…The linear correlation of peak current with scan rate in the non-faradaic region (0.1–0.3 V) suggests an adsorption mechanism involving the NiII-(OH)2/NiIII-OOH redox couple, while a square-root relationship indicates diffusion-controlled MOR. Hysteresis at 0.60 V and peak shifts further highlighted efficient charge transport, enhanced by the brucite layer of Ni-LDH. …”
