dc.description.abstractIn this study, the facile-green method was applied for the production of electroactive composite anode material. For this purpose, biochar was produced via pyrolysis of Pinus nigra (PN) sawdust in a stainless-steel reactor at 300, 400 and 500 degrees C with 10 degrees C/min heating rate. The Fe2O3 particles were fabricated via the green synthesis method. The Fe2O3-biochar electrocatalyst was operated on Ni foam electrode and the potential application as an anode for methanol fuel cell was investigated in an alkaline medium. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR/ATR) were used to characterize the morphology of the electrocatalyst samples. The electrochemical measurements of electrocatalyst samples were achieved via cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and chronoamperometry (CA). The enlarged surface area of biochar enabled the formation of more electroactive sites for methanol electrooxidation and favorable structures of biochar could support to increased electrocatalytic activity of catalysts for methanol oxidation and produce favorable matrices for Fe2O3 loading. The obtained results demonstrate that the electrooxidation of methanol occurred at 0.36 V. The favorable structures of biochar acted as a support, enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of Fe2O3 for methanol oxidation. The electrocatalyst demonstrated remarkable activity with almost 4 A g-1 current density at 0.55 V. The Rct values were 0.73 omega and 0.45 omega at 0.55 V, for Ni foam and Ni foam/Fe2O3-biochar, respectively. Long-term measurements demonstrated that the Ni foam/Fe2O3-biochar catalysts was remarkably stable, with a 4 % difference in current before and after the CA analysis.
