electrochemical energy conversion in fuel cells is reviewed and novel methodologies that can help novices in electrochemical research are briefly described. In addition, seven electrocatalytic reactions of major significance for energy conversion
applications are presented. The concepts of platinum monolayer electrocatalysts
and core-shell catalysts are explored. Further discussions of platinum monolayer
electrocatalysts including their types, structure, preparation, activity, stability, use
in fuel cells for automotive applications, and scale up syntheses provide an essential
review on this new catalyst that will affect the future of electrocatalysis.
