Electrocatalytic Activity of Green Synthesized CuO Nanoparticles/Conductive Polymer Composite Film in DMFC

In this work, CuO NPs was prepared by a simple and green method using Rosarinusofficinalis extract containing phenolic constituents as both the chelating and the stabilizing agents. CuO nanoparticles/ polyorthoaminophenol composite as electro-active electrodes for electro catalytic oxidation of methanol with good uniformity are prepared by electropolymerization. Composite of CuONps/POAP was synthesized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods and electrochemical properties of film were investigated by using electrochemical techniques. New composite modified electrode shows a significantly higher response for methanol oxidation.
