One-Pot Aqueous Synthesis of Porous Hollow PdCu Alloy Nanoparticles for Enhanced Ethanol Electrooxidation
Luyu Zhu, Kai Song, Chenglin Yi
Abstract
Bimetallic PdCu porous hollow nanoparticles (PHNs) with hierarchical nanostructures and well-alloyed compositions were precisely synthesized through a one-pot aqueous synthetic route. Bimetallic PdCu PHNs exhibited multiple enhancement synergies and thus performed well in ethanol oxidation electrocatalysis with remarkable activity and stability. This work expedites rational design and synthesis of the high-hierarchy alloy electrocatalysts for fuel cell electrocatalysis.
