The Palladium-copper nanoparticles (PdCu NPs) have been prepared by potentiostatic electrodeposition from a mixture electrolyte of H2PdCl4 and CuSO4,then placed the electrode in sulfuric acid using cyclic voltammetry sweep a few laps to fabricate the PdCu NPs/glass carbon electrode (Pd-Cu/GCE). The modified electrode electrochemical properties of a preliminary study found that this modified electrode has good stability and electrochemical activity, experiments show that formic aicd has good voltammetric response of the electrode. The electrical activity of the formic acid in the Pd/GCE is lower than that in the Pd-Cu/GCE, this is due to the synergistic effect of the bimetal. When the Cu content is increased gradually in H2PdCl4 and CuSO4 a mixed solution, the formic acid oxidation peak currentlower, because Cu has no electrocatalytic activity for formic acid oxidation.

A novel electrochemical sensing platform was constructed based on a facile self-assembly procedure synthetic laminar molybdenum trioxide dihydrate (MoO[Formula: see text]H2O)-graphene composite. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy were employed to characterize the morphology and composition of the MoO[Formula: see text]H2O-graphene composite. As a model molecule, thiourea was utilized to investigate the electrochemical behaviors of the MoO[Formula: see text]H2O-graphene composite modified glass carbon electrode. The results show that the composite modified electrode has higher electron transfer rate than that of graphene modified electrode and bare glass carbon electrode meanwhile the peak currents of it has a good linear relationship with thiourea concentrations in the range of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) with detection limit of 4.99[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M ([Formula: see text]). This novel electrochemical sensor exhibits a higher absorption capacity ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mol/cm2), a good reproducibility (1.41% relative standard deviation (RSD)), excellent anti-interference and a high stability. These excellent electrochemical properties of the MoO[Formula: see text]H2O-graphene composite are attributed to the loose and porous structure and the synergistic effects between graphene and MoO[Formula: see text]H2O, which make this composite material hold great potential applications for electrochemical sensor.

Cubic, octahedral, and rhombic dodecahedral gold nanocrystals enclosed by {100}, {111}, and {110} facets, respectively, were prepared by a seed-mediated growth method at the room temperature. Palladium thin films were coated on these Au nanocrystals by a redox replacement approach to explore their catalytic activities. It is revealed that formic acid and carbon monoxide oxidation in 0.1 M HClO4 on Au nanocrystals coated with one monolayer (ML) of Pd are facet-dependent and resemble those obtained from corresponding Pd single crystals and Pd films deposited on bulk Au single crystals, suggesting epitaxial growth of Pd overlayers on the Au nanocrystal surfaces. As the Pd film thickness increased, formic acid oxidation current density decreased and the CO oxidation potential moved to more negative. The catalytic activity remained largely unchanged after 3–5 MLs of Pd deposition. The specific adsorption of (bi)sulfate was shown to hinder the formic acid oxidation and the effect decreased with the increasing Pd film thickness. These observations were explained in the framework of the d-band theory. This study highlights the feasibility of engineering high-performance catalysts through deposition of catalytically active metal thin films on facet-controlled inert nanocrystals.

AbstractDevelopment of reversible and stable catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 is of great interest. Here, we elucidate the atomistic details of how a palladium electrocatalyst inhibits CO poisoning during both formic acid oxidation to carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide reduction to formic acid. We compare results obtained with a platinum single-crystal electrode modified with and without a single monolayer of palladium. We combine (high-scan-rate) cyclic voltammetry with density functional theory to explain the absence of CO poisoning on the palladium-modified electrode. We show how the high formate coverage on the palladium-modified electrode protects the surface from poisoning during formic acid oxidation, and how the adsorption of CO precursor dictates the delayed poisoning during CO2 reduction. The nature of the hydrogen adsorbed on the palladium-modified electrode is considerably different from platinum, supporting a model to explain the reversibility of this reaction. Our results help in designing catalysts for which CO poisoning needs to be avoided.

This work presents the catalysts of Pt-Bi shells on Au nanoparticle cores and Pt overlayers on the Pt-Bi shells toward formic acid oxidation (FAO). Pt and Bi were co-deposited on Au nanoparticles (Au NP) via the irreversible adsorption method using a mixed precursor solution of Pt and Bi ions, and the amount of the co-deposits was controlled with the repetition of the deposition cycle. Rinsing of the co-adsorbed ionic layers of Pt and Bi with a H2SO4 solution selectively removed the Bi ions to leave Pt-rich and Bi-lean (<0.4 atomic %) co-deposits on Au NP (Pt-Bi/Au NP), conceptually similar to de-alloying. Additional Pt was deposited over Pt-Bi/Au NPs (Pt/Pt-Bi/Au NPs) to manipulate further the physicochemical properties of Pt-Bi/Au NPs. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the core–shell structures of Pt-Bi/Au NPs and Pt/Pt-Bi/Au NPs, whose shell thickness ranged from roughly four to six atomic layers. Moreover, the low crystallinity of the Pt-containing shells was confirmed with X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical studies showed that the surfaces of Pt-Bi/Au NPs were characterized by low hydrogen adsorption abilities, which increased after the deposition of additional Pt. Durability tests were carried out with 1000 voltammetric cycles between −0.26 and 0.4 V (versus Ag/AgCl) in a solution of 1.0 M HCOOH + 0.1 M H2SO4. The initial averaged FAO performance on Pt-Bi/Au NPs and Pt/Pt-Bi/Au NPs (0.11 ± 0.01 A/mg, normalized to the catalyst weight) was higher than that of a commercial Pt nanoparticle catalyst (Pt NP, 0.023 A/mg) by a factor of ~5, mainly due to enhancement of dehydrogenation and suppression of dehydration. The catalytic activity of Pt/Pt-Bi/Au NP (0.04 ± 0.01 A/mg) in the 1000th cycle was greater than that of Pt-Bi/Au NP (0.026 ± 0.003 A/mg) and that of Pt NP (0.006 A/mg). The reason for the higher durability was suggested to be the low mobility of surface Pt atoms on the investigated catalysts.
