This work presents investigations on preparation of 20 wt. % Pt0.5Pd0.5/C nanoelectrocatalysts by electroless and their electrocatalytic properties. The 20 wt. % Pt0.5Pd0.5/C nanoelectrocatalysts were prepared by electroless successfully. The optimum experimental conditions of the main effect factors in preparing the PtPd nanoelectrocatalysts are [Pt2+ or Pd2+] =2-10g/L, [HCHO] =10-20g/L, temperature: 40-60°C, the dosage of protection reagent: 1-3 % of the platinum and palladium content, the agitation rate 400-500r/min. The characterization of 20 wt. % Pt0.5Pd0.5/C was performed with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. Particles of PtPd are distributed symmetrically on C by TEM, of which are very small and the average granularity is less than 3nm. The nanoelectrocatalysts have high stabilization and lots of catalysis nuclei through CV.
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.
