Simple Synthesis of AuPd Aerogel as a Self-Supporting Electrocatalysts with Excellent Performance

Abstract Direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) has the advantages of low pollution emissions, easy to carry, and high energy density. However, development cells is limited due catalytic activity poor stability electrode catalyst materials. Precious metal aerogels not only have three-dimensional self-supporting network structures but also excellent properties precious metals, which very good efficiency for ethanol. In this study, bimetallic with varying Au/Pd ratios were prepared, their impact on electrocatalytic performance was investigated.
