Nanoparticle catalysts of carbon-supported Pd (Pd/C) and carbon-supported AuPd (AuPd/C) for the direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) anode were synthesized by the reduction of precursor ions in an aqueous solution irradiated with a high-energy electron beam. We obtained three kinds of nanoparticle catalysts: (1) Pd/C, (2) AuPd/C of the core-shell structure, and (3) AuPd/C of the alloy structure. The structures of AuPd nanoparticles were controlled by the addition of citric acid as a chelate agent, and sodium hydroxide as a pH controller. The structures of nanoparticle catalysts were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, the techniques of X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption fine structure. The catalytic activity of the formic acid oxidation was evaluated using linear sweep voltammetry. The oxidation current value of AuPd/C was higher than that of Pd/C. This indicated that the addition of Au to Pd/C improved the oxidation activity of the DFAFC anode. In addition, the AuPd/C of the alloy structure had higher oxidation activity than the AuPd/C of the core-shell structure. The control of the AuPd mixing state was effective in enhancing the formic acid oxidation activity.
