One-pot synthesis of 3D PtCu hierarchical concave layered triangular nanostructures with excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability to formic acid oxidation is reported.
Lotus-shaped Pd–Cu hierarchical superstructure crystals with enhanced electrocatalytic properties toward HCOOH oxidation were successfully synthesized through an aqueous solution method.
In a formic acid–H2O solution (60% : 40%), most aromatic aldehydes react efficiently with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium acetate to form nitriles, where formic acid acts as both catalyst and solvent.
Influence of composition of catalysts based on heteropoly acid cesium salts on formic acid production via starch hydrolysis–oxidation was investigated.
