The current investigation presents a novel catalyst for formic acid electro-oxidation (FAO); the essential anodic reaction in direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs). The catalyst is developed by a sequential electrodeposition method for Pt (PtNPs), Au (AuNPs) and nickel oxide (nano-NiOx) nanoparticles onto the surface of a glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The objective of this modification was solely dedicated to the improvement of the electrode's catalytic activity by overcoming the CO poisoning, which is usually responsible for the deterioration of the catalytic performance of DFAFCs. The deposition sequence of the catalyst ingredients (PtNPs, AuNPs, and nano-NiOx) was adjusted to optimize the electrocatalytic activity and stability of the catalyst towards FAO. Interestingly, the highest catalytic activity and stability towards FAO was obtained at the NiOx/Au/Pt/GC electrode in which PtNPs were directly deposited onto the GC electrode followed by AuNPs then nanoNiO(x). The discussion is oriented to adopt the role of the ternary catalyst ingredients in the catalytic enhancement. Copyright (C) 2014, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
