No Annealing Synthesis of Ordered Intermetallic PdCu Nanocatalysts for Boosting Formic Acid Oxidation

Xiang Li et al.

Summary: Due to their high catalytic efficiency and selectivity, ordered intermetallic Pd-based nanocatalysts have greater potential than disordered nanocatalysts for formic acid oxidation reactions (FAOR). In this study, monodisperse ordered intermetallic PdCu nanocatalysts were obtained through liquid phase reduction reaction without heat treatment. The obtained nanocatalysts displayed enhanced activity and durability for FAOR compared to other types of nanocatalysts.

Combined anodic and cathodic hydrogen production from aldehyde oxidation and hydrogen evolution reaction

Tehua Wang et al.

Summary: This study presents a hydrogen production system that combines anodic and cathodic H-2 production from low-potential aldehyde oxidation and the hydrogen evolution reaction, respectively, at a low voltage of about 0.1V. Unlike conventional aldehyde electrooxidation, the low-potential aldehyde oxidation enables the hydrogen atom to recombine into H-2 gas. The assembled electrolyser requires only about 0.35 kWh of electricity input per m(3) of H-2, providing a promising avenue for the safe, efficient and scalable production of high-purity hydrogen.
