NiSe2/CeO2 catalysts from Ce-UiO-66 metal–organic skeletons and their electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol, urea and glycerol

-450 °C could improve electrocatalytic performance for the MOR, UOR, and GOR, which is attributed to the more active sites that were exposed as a result of utilizing MOFs (Ce-UiO-66) as a precursor. Additionally, selenation increased the ability to transfer electrons. This research is crucial for the production of inexpensive, easily accessible transition metals in place of expensive noble metals, for the reduction of wastewater pollution from methanol and urea, and for the creation of effective anodic oxidation electrocatalysts.
