Efficient electrocatalysts with low cost, high activity, and robust durability are crucial for large-scale commercialization of direct ethanol fuel cells. The Pd/NCB@NGS electrocatalyst, fabricated through self-assembly and surfactant-free chemical reduction, exhibits improved electrocatalytic performance for ethanol oxidation reaction due to its unique three-dimensional hierarchical architecture with abundant nitrogen atoms.
The engineering efficient electrocatalysts with low cost, high activity and robust durability for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) is vital for large-scale commercializing direct ethanol fuel cells. Herein, the surface-clean Pd nanoparticles anchored on the nitrogen-doped carbon black embedding nitrogen-doped graphene (Pd/NCB@NGS) with unique three-dimensional hierarchical architecture was fabricated through a self-assembly strategy followed by a surfactant-free chemical reduction. The size of Pd nanoparticles on NCB@NGS can be controlled without surfactant. As an electrocatalyst for EOR, the Pd/NCB@NGS displays improved electrocatalytic performance compared with commercial Pd/C and other counterparts, due to the prominent roles of unique three-dimensional hierarchical architecture with abundant nitrogen atoms. Particularly, the electrocatalytic EOR property of Pd/NCB@NGS-2 (the mass ratio of OCB/GO is 1:1) is optimal among the tested-electrocatalysts, owing to it balances the clash between increased nitrogen atoms and decreased electrical conductivity. This study also developed a superior carbon-based material for various electrocatalysts and beyond.
