Direct evidence for active site-dependent formic acid electro-oxidation by topmost-surface atomic redistribution in a ternary PtPdCu electrocatalyst.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The active site-dependent electrochemical formic acid oxidation was evidenced by the increased coverage of Pt in the topmost mixed PtPd alloy layer of ternary PtPdCu upon potential cycling, which demonstrated two catalytic pathways only in one catalyst owing to surface atomic redistribution in an acidic electrolyte environment.

Direct evidence for active site-dependent formic acid electro-oxidation by topmost-surface atomic redistribution in a ternary PtPdCu electrocatalystw
The design of active and robust electrocatalysts with a low Pt content for low temperature fuel cell processes has been one of the bottlenecks for a wide spectrum of applications of this efficient energy conversion technology. It has driven a significant amount of effort. One of the approaches is the synthesis of Pt-based binary and ternary electrode materials by alloying a 3d and/or a less nob...
متن کاملAg/Pt Core-Shell Nanoparticles on Graphene Nanocomposite for Effective Anodic Fuels Electro-oxidation
The nanocomposite consists of the Ag as a core and Pt as shell on the surface of graphene nanosheets (Ag/Pt-G) was synthesized with a simple method and used as a novel electrochemical platform for an efficient catalyst for oxidation of the ethanol, methanol and formic acid. The morphology and electrochemical properties of Ag/Pt-G nanocomposite were investigated by TEM, X-ray diffraction, and vo...
متن کاملHollow ternary PtPdCu nanoparticles: a superior and durable cathodic electrocatalyst.
Hollow alloyed nanoparticles (NPs) represent one kind of promising fuel cell electrocatalyst. However, the formation of single-cavity hollow structures by a dealloying process is quite challenging owing to the random leaching/dissolution of transition metals, surface passivation and the limited diffusion distance of the noble metals. Here we present a facile method to prepare hollow PtPdCu NPs ...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube/raspberry hollow Pd nanosphere hybrids for methanol, ethanol, and formic acid electro-oxidation in alkaline media.
In this paper, raspberry hollow Pd nanospheres (HPNs)-decorated carbon nanotube (CNT) was developed for electro-oxidation of methanol, ethanol, and formic acid in alkaline media. The electrocatalyst was fabricated simply by attaching HPNs onto the surface of CNT which had been functionalized by polymer wrapping. The as-prepared HPN-CNTs (CHPNs) were characterized by transmission electron micros...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic activity of Pd-Co bimetallic mixtures for formic acid oxidation studied by scanning electrochemical microscopy.
The electrochemical oxidation of formic acid was studied by the tip generation-substrate collection (TG-SC) mode of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), extending the number of applications of SECM in electrocatalysis. Formic acid was generated at a Hg on Au ultramicroelectrode (UME) tip by reduction of CO(2) in a 0.1 M KHCO(3) solution saturated with this gas. The electrocatalytic activ...
