Magnetic Nanomaterials for Electrocatalysis

Magnetic Nanomaterials for Electrocatalysis

V.N. Nikolić

Application of nanomaterials for electrocatalysts requires usage of low-cost and eco-friendly materials, characterized by high surface activity and stability. Due to low prices, high electrocatalytic activity, and eco-friendly behavior, transition metal-based nanocomposite materials are recognized as a potential replacement of precious metal electrocatalysts. The most straightforward way to improve properties of applied magnetic nanomaterials in electrocatalysts is to alter the synthesis approach, since it is known that variation of synthesis conditions enables tailoring of materials magnetic and catalytic properties. In this chapter is discussed the application of magnetic nanomaterials in hydrogen production and in biomedicine, since these areas nowadays attract the highest scientific attention and offer the most attractive future returns.
