Synthesis and assembly of Pd nanoparticles on graphene for enhanced electrooxidation of formic acid.

چکیده
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 support to enhance NP catalysis and stability for important chemical oxidation reactions.

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 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...
