This study successfully prepared trimetallic PdAgCu nanospheres with abundant surface bulges for ethylene glycol oxidation reaction and compared them with bimetallic PdAg nanospheres to investigate the performance enhancement mechanism. The optimized PdAgCu nanospheres exhibited superb mass activity and electrochemical stability. The incorporation of Cu into PdAg nanospheres further enhanced the photoelectrocatalytic performance and increased noble metal atom utilization.
The notable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of some metals has been applied to improve the effi-ciency of alcohol oxidation reactions, whereas the comprehensive investigation of Cu-assisted photoelec-trocatalysis remains challenging. We herein successfully prepared trimetallic PdAgCu nanospheres (NSs) with abundant surface bulges for the advanced ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) and compared them with bimetallic PdAg NSs to investigate the performance enhancement mechanism. Impressively, the as-optimized PdAgCu NSs exhibited superb mass activity and electrochemical stability. Moreover, under visible light illumination, the mass activity of PdAgCu NSs increased to 1.62 times compared to that in the dark, and in contrast, the mass activity of PdAg NSs only increased to 1.48 times that in the dark. A mechanistic study indicated that the incorporation of Cu not only strengthens the whole SPR effect of PdAgCu NSs but also further modifies the electronic structure of Pd. This work highlighted that the incor-poration of Cu into PdAg NSs further enhanced the photoelectrocatalytic performance and increased noble metal atom utilization, which may provide guidance to fabricate novel and promising nanocata-lysts in the field of photoelectrocatalysis.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc.
