Formic acid electrooxidation catalyzed by Pd/SmOx-C hybrid catalyst in fuel cells

Enhancement of the formic acid electrooxidation activity of palladium using graphene/carbon black binary carbon supports

“…The peaks at approximately 25° are assigned to the C(002) plane [45]. The four peaks at 2θ = 40°, 46°, 68° and 82° are characteristic of a face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure, corresponding to the (111), ( 200), ( 220) and (311) crystalline planes of Pd [46], respectively. Compared with the Pd/C pattern, the characteristic Pd(220) peaks in the Pd/Gr-C and Pd/Gr patterns are shifted to higher 2θ values, indicating decreased lattice constants and shrinkage of the Pd lattices [47].…”

Recent advances in zinc–air batteries: self-standing inorganic nanoporous metal films as air cathodes

“…15 An alternative material to consider is palladium (Pd), which exhibits a comparable level of electrocatalytic activity to Pt in alkaline environments, yet it has a much higher abundance in the earth's crust. 4,41,46,51,54,[116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123] Herein, some representative studies on Pd-based self-standing INMFs will be discussed in the following.…”

Active sites contribution from nanostructured interface of palladium and cerium oxide with enhanced catalytic performance for alcohols oxidation in alkaline solution

“…It has long been accepted that exploring highly efficient catalysts for alcohols oxidation is urgent for the current fuel cells technology development due to the usage of noble metals [7,8] . With this goal in mind, quite a lot of works have been done to reduce the noble metal loading and increase the activity and durability by exploring novel hybrid catalyst materials [9][10][11][12][13] .…”
