What Determines Electrochemical Surface Processes on Carbon-Supported PdAu Nanoparticles?

Abstract: Supported bimetallic nanoparticles have good activities in heterogeneous catalysis and electrocatalysts. Among those systems, PdAu shows improved stability and enhanced catalytic activity towards electrochemical reactions such as oxygen reduction, formic acid oxidation and hydrogen evolution. The aim of this work was to study comprehensively the influence of ligand and ensemble effects on surface processes, such as oxide formation/reduction, oxidation of adsorbed CO and adsorption of hydrogen, taking place on … Show more

“…Pd and Au are miscible and form a substitutional, exothermic alloy (−2 > Δ H mix > −9 kJ mol –1 ) for all compositions. As such, Monte Carlo simulations of PdAu surfaces predict the formation of significant numbers of isolated Pd monomers when the mole fraction of Au greatly exceeds that of Pd. Most results indicate that Pd atoms gain d-electrons as the Au contents in PdAu alloys increase. This conclusion agrees with clear evidence from ex situ XANES spectra that reveal a less intense white line at the Pd L 3 edge for Pd 1 Au 1 nanoparticles compared to monometallic Pd . Hence, numerous spectroscopic and computational investigations indicate that alloying Pd with Au modifies the electronic structure of Pd atoms in manners that seem relevant for catalysis.…”

“…The electronic interaction between Pd and Au was also studied by XPS. Compared with pure Au’s binding energy (BE = 84.2 eV), the Au 4f peaks of the PdAu samples all shifted negatively, indicating more negatively charged Au in the alloy. When it comes to Pd 3d peaks, the trend is not as straightforward.…”
