“…The charge-transfer resistances ( R ct ) in these catalysts are evaluated by fitting the electrical impedance spectra using the equivalent circuit (Figure B, C and Figure S6), and follow the order R ct (Pd 1 Ag 2 @[C 2 mim]BH 4 -amimRG) < R ct (Pd 1 Ag 2 @[C 4 mim]BH 4 -amimRG) < R ct (Pd 1 Ag 2 @[C 6 mim]BH 4 -amimRG) ≪ R ct (amimRG), and gives an indication of the synergistic effect between [C n mim] + and amimRG due to the electronic coupling . Besides the improvement in the electrical conductivity of nanocomposite, [C 2 mim] + cations draw OH – ions by means of electrostatic interaction, and effectively accumulate ethanol because of the stronger hydrogen-bond effect than [C 4 mim] + and [C 6 mim] + ions. , The enrichment of ethanol and OH – on the catalyst accelerates the electrocatalytic oxidation . Thus, Pd 1 Ag 2 @[C 2 mim]BH 4 -amimRG works better in EOR than its counterparts of Pd 1 Ag 2 @[C 4 mim]BH 4 -amimRG and Pd 1 Ag 2 @[C 6 mim]BH 4 -amimRG.…”

This work developed a facile colloidal route to synthesize BH-capped PdAg nanoparticles (NPs) in water using the reducing ionic liquids of [Cmim]BH, and the resulting NPs were prone to form the nanocomposites with [amim]-modified reduced graphene (RG). The removal of the metal-free inorganic ions of BH can create the profoundly exposed interfaces on the PdAg NPs during the electrooxidation, and favor the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in lowering energy barrier. The counterions of [Cmim] can gather ethanol, OH ions, and the reaction intermediates on catalysts, and synergistically interact with RG to facilitate the charge transfer in nanocomposites. The interface-modified RG nanosheets can effectively segregate the PdAg NPs from aggregation during the EOR. Along with the small size of 4.7 nm, the high alloying degree of 60.2%, the large electrochemical active surface area of 64.1 m g, and the great peak current density of 1501 mA cm mg, PdAg@[Cmim]BH-amimRG nanocomposite exhibits the low oxidation potentials, strong poison resistance, and stable catalytic activity for EOR in alkaline media, and hence can be employed as a promising anodic catalyst in ethanol fuel cells.
