Butylphenyl-functionalized palladium nanoparticles as effective catalysts for the electrooxidation of formic acid.

چکیده
Monodisperse butylphenyl-functionalized palladium (Pd-BP, dia. 2.24 nm) nanoparticles were synthesized through co-reduction of butylphenyldiazonium and H(2)PdCl(4) by NaBH(4). Because of this unique surface functionalization and a high specific electrochemical surface area (122 m(2) g(-1)), the Pd-BP nanoparticles exhibited a mass activity ∼4.5 times that of commercial Pd black for HCOOH electrooxidation.

Butylphenyl-functionalized palladium nanoparticles as effective catalysts for the electrooxidation of formic acidw
Direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) are a promising power source for portable electronic devices due to their high energy density, modest operating conditions, relatively low toxicity and the low crossover rate of formic acid through Nafion membranes. The anodic reaction of DFAFCs is formic acid electrooxidation to CO2 on Ptor Pd-based catalysts. Pt catalysts typically exhibit a high intrins...
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...

Butylphenyl-functionalized Pt nanoparticles (Pt-BP) with an average core diameter of 2.93 ± 0.49 nm were synthesized by the co-reduction of butylphenyl diazonium salt and H(2)PtCl(4). Cyclic voltammetric studies of the Pt-BP nanoparticles showed a much less pronounced hysteresis between the oxidation currents of formic acid in the forward and reverse scans, as compared to that on naked Pt surfa...
متن کاملHollow palladium nanospheres with porous shells supported on graphene as enhanced electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation.
The hollow palladium nanospheres with the porous shell comprised of uniform 5 nm Pd nanoparticles (Pd NS-HP) have been synthesized successfully by employing a simple replacement process between PdCl4(2-) ions and Co with the assistance of a structure-directing agent, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). Then, the obtained Pd NS-HP is supported on graphene nanosheets (GN) to prepare Pd NS-HP/GN composit...
متن کاملSynthesis and assembly of Pd nanoparticles on graphene for enhanced electrooxidation of formic acid.
Monodisperse 4.5 nm Pd nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by solution phase reduction of palladium acetylacetonate with morpholine borane in a mixture of oleylamine and 1-octadecene. These NPs were assembled on graphene uniformly in the form of a monolayer, and showed much enhanced catalysis for electrooxidation of formic acid. The work demonstrates the great potential of graphene as a suppor...
