Carbon-Supported PdCu Alloy as Extraordinary Electrocatalysts for Methanol Electrooxidation in Alkaline Direct Methanol Fuel Cells

Palladium (Pd) nanostructures are highly active non-platinum anodic electrocatalysts in alkaline direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), and their electrocatalytic performance relies highly on their morphology and composition.This study reports the preparation, characterizations, and electrocatalytic BOSCH Serie 8 DWF97RV60B Chimney Smart Cooker Hood - Black properties of palladium-copper alloys loaded on the carbon support.XC-72 was used as a support, and hydrazine hydrate served as a reducing agent.PdxCuy/XC-72 nanoalloy catalysts were prepared in a one-step chemical reduction process with different ratios of Pd and Cu.

A range of Plein air - Accessoires - Lampe frontale analytical techniques was used to characterize the microstructure and electronic properties of the catalysts, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).Benefiting from excellent electronic structure, Pd3Cu2/XC-72 achieves higher mass activity enhancement and improves durability for MOR.Considering the simple synthesis, excellent activity, and long-term stability, PdxCuy/XC-72 anodic electrocatalysts will be highly promising in alkaline DMFCs.
