Development of inexpensive non Pt based high electrocatalytic energy materials is the need of the hour for fuel cell electrode to produce clean altative green energy from synthesized bio alcohol using biomass.MnO2 , electro synthesized at different current density is found to be well performed electrocatalytic material, comparable to Pt, with higher current density, very low overvoltage for the electrochemical oxidation of methanol.From EIS study, the polarization resistance of the coate d MnO2 is found to be much low and electrical double layer capacitance is high, the effect increases with increase in current density of electro deposition.XRD, EDX and AAS analysis confirm the MnO2 depositio n.Them orphology of SEM im agese xhibits an enhanced 3D effective sub strat e area, for elect ro oxidation oft he fuel.A few nano structured grains of the deposite d MnO2 is also observed at higher current density.The fact supports that a high energet ic ine xpensive electroc atalytic material has beenf ound for fu el cell electrodet o synthesis renewable energy from methanol fuel.
