For the study of the electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen and oxidation of methanol, our approach to the preparation of catalysts by two-phase protocol " provides a better controllability over size, composition or surface properties in comparison with traditional approaches such as coprecipitation, deposition-precipitation, and impregnation. " The electrocatalytic activities were studied in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. This chapter summarizes some of these recent results, which have provided us with further information for assessing gold-based alloy catalysts for fuel cell reactions. 

The electrocatalytic activity of the nanostructured catalysts was investigated for electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen and oxidation of methanol. Several selected examples are discussed in this section. The results from electrochemical characterization of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are first described. This description is followed by discussion of the results from electrochemical characterization of the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR).

For DMFC systems, Pt cathodes are also used as the catalyst of choice however, given Pt s ability to reduce oxygen and oxidize methanol, this lack of selectivity makes them sensitive to methanol crossover from anode to cathode via the membrane. This methanol crossover can have a depolarizing effect on cathode performance, reducing overall cathode activity. To combat this, an extensive effort has been made to identify and develop selective oxygen/reduction catalysts unaffected by MeOH crossover.

Acid deposition or, acid rain, occurs when SO2 and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) react with water, oxygen, and oxidants to form acidic compounds. It is deposited in dry form (gas, particles) or wet form (rain, snow, fog), and can be carried by wind hundreds of miles across state and national borders. Acid rain harms lakes and streams, damages trees, crops, historic buildings, and monuments.

The oxygen and oxidants (as Cr207 ) affect the corrosion rate [342, 343]. A decrease in the corrosion resistance after longer time (3 h) in oxygen-rich solutions has been observed.

We know that this conclusion of Lavoisier regarding the relation of oxygen to acids was too sweeping, as there are acids which do not contain oxygen and oxides which are base-forming and yet the generalization was at the time extremely important, and the combustion theory itself a clear exposition of the general facts. 

Scientists have discovered that air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels is the major cause of acid rain. Acidic deposition, or acid ram, as it is commonly known, occurs when emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO ) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and oxidants to form various acidic compounds. This mixture forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Sunlight increases the rate of most of these reactions. 

Taking into consideration the relative order of corrodibility, it is preferable to describe corrosive damage as attributable to certain agents rather than to the indefinite characterization smoke. Corrosive agents can be placed into four major groups, namely, oxygen and oxidants, acidic materials, salts, and alkalis. 

Mention has already been made of the uciion of oxygen and oxidants on metal. It should be noted that metals react with sulfides, such as hydrogen sulfide, and are subsequently subject to additional slow attack by oxygen and oxidants. Thus, copper reacts to form sulfide and then the basic copper sulfate. 

The efficient browning of proteins by 3-DG and MGO under anaerobic conditions emphasises that oxidation is not essential for Maillard reactions in vivo, although oxygen and oxidation appear to be rate-limiting for browning and crosslinking of proteins by aldo- and ketohexoses, as well as ascorbate.
