چکیده
We report Pt-Pd nanoparticles synthesized by means of a polyol process with glycerol as a reducing agent. The Pt-Pd nanoparticles exhibit dominantly exposed {111} facets in octahedral shape with complete alloy formation between Pt and Pd. Furthermore, the octahedral Pt-Pd alloy catalysts show improved catalytic activity and stability in methanol electrooxidation.

Ni@Pt core-shell nanoparticles as an improved electrocatalyst for ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline media
Core-shell nanostructures are emerging as more important materials than alloy nanostructures and have much more interesting potential applications in various fields. In this work, we demonstrated the fast and facile synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles consisting of Pt thin layer as the shell and Ni nanoparticles as the cores. The described method herein is suitable for large-scale and low-cos...
متن کاملMulti-walled carbon nanotubes supported palladium nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity towards methanol electro oxidation in alkaline media
Palladium nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Pd/MWCNTs) have been synthesized using a modified polyol reduction method and its performance in methanol oxidation reactions has evaluated. The morphology of palladium on MWCNTs was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The catalytic performance of synthesized catalyst ...
متن کاملStructural design and facile synthesis of a highly efficient catalyst for formic acid electrooxidation.
The pathway of formic acid electrooxidation strongly depends on the amount of three neighbouring Pt or Pd atoms in the surface of Pd- or Pt-based catalysts. Here, Pt decorated Pd/C nanoparticles (the optimal atomic ratio, Pd : Pt = 20 : 1) were designed and then synthesized through a facile galvanic replacement reaction where the amount of three neighbouring Pt or Pd atoms markedly decreased. A...
