Pd–NiO-Y/CNT nanofoam: a zeolite-carbon nanotube conjugate exhibiting high durability in methanol oxidation

A Pd–NiO-based catalyst hybridized with zeolite-Y and multiwalled carbon nanotubes has been found to show a remarkable mass activity in the electrochemical oxidation of methanol with long term durability up to 80 000 s.
