Abstract
The stability of the catalytic center has always been the biggest challenge in any reaction of technological interest. For example, precious materials, such as platinum (Pt), are used as electrocatalysts and widely studied in fuel cell systems. Synthesis and design of materials are the most crucial part to undertake for different applications, such as medicine, electronics, energy conversion, remediation, and pharmaceutical. This chapter reviews three support and catalytic center synthesis routes, the physicochemical characterization, the support interaction with the catalytic center, and the theoretical approach that has been done so far. It discusses the surface electrochemical response of oxide-carbon composites, Pt-based, and chalcogenides materials. Oxides and oxide-carbon composite materials are the subjects of much attention in photochemical and photoelectrochemical systems. The chapter discusses the photoelectrochemical behavior of oxide and oxide-carbon compounds.
