PdCu alloy nanowire networks (NNWs) with tunable compositions are synthesized. Electrooxidaton catalytic measurements prove that the as‐prepared PdCu NNWs represent a predominant catalyst for methanol and ethanol electrooxidation reactions in alkaline medium. With increasing copper content, the electrocatalytic activity of the catalytic materials to ethanol and methanol was significantly increased. Pd27Cu73 NNW‐modified electrodes display superior catalytic activity (8300 A gPd−1) toward the ethanol electrooxidation compared to commercial Pd/C‐modified electrodes (700 A gPd−1). PdCu NNWs have great potential as electrocatalysts for fuel cells.
A facile method was developed for the controlled synthesis of well-defined Pd nanoparticles and nanowires, with the assistance of polyhedrin as a growth-directing agent.
Honeycomb-like Mo2C@nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheet/graphene aerogel films were synthesized successfully by solid-state reaction between (NH4)6Mo7O24 and regenerated chitin/graphene oxide aerogel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
