Their electrocatalytic activity for formic acid oxidation and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media was examined by voltammetric techniques. Among the as-prepared catalysts, nanoPdslCu19/Ti catalyst presents the highest current density of 39.8 mA/cm2 at -0.5 V or 66.4 mA/cm2 at -0.3 V for formic acid oxidation. The onset potential of ORR on the nanoPdslCU19/Ti catalyst presents an about 70 mV positive shift compared to that on the nanoPd/Ti, and the current density of ORR at -0.3 V is 2.12 mA/cm2, which is 3.7 times larger than that on the nanoPd/Ti.展开更多

The effects of key parameters such as the inlet composition and the sweeping, gas on methane conversion and the hydrogen recovery are numerically estalallshed with two penodtc input ttmctlons. In order to analyze the effect of the inputs modulation, the reaction was performed under low steam to methane ratio at a mod-erate temperature and pressure. It was obtained that to achieve process intensification is to operate the process in a periodic way. The main results show that the periodic input functions can improve the performance of the process compared to the optimal steady state operation. Moreover, there is an optimum amplitude of manipulated inputs leads to a maximum of hydrogen recovery. It is noteworthy that the comparison between the predicted performancevia the sinusoidal and the'square ways show that the better'average performance was obtainedwith the square way.展开更多

Here, we presented a facile approach to core/shell FePd/Pd nanoparticle (NP) catalyst with the FePd core in chemically ordered face-centered tetragonal (fct-) structure and the shell in controlled thickness from 0.32 to 0.81 nm via the thermal annealing of FePd NP followed by an electro-anodization process. With a 0.71 nm-thick Pd shell, the fct-FePd/Pd shows a robust catalytic activity and durability for ORR with the mass activities at 0.85 and 0.90 V reaching 453 and 96.7 A/mgpd, respectively, which are about 3.0 and 2.1 times higher than those of commercial Pt in alkaline media. This work presents a new class of non-Pt catalyst with superior performance to Pt for ORR catalysis, and the strategy demonstrated here can be extended to design highefficient catalysts for other chemical reactions.展开更多

Recently, the corresponding methodology has been developed rapidly, involving alcohol oxidation, alkene oxidation, oxidative coupling and so on, which stimulated considerable interests in mechanistic investigation of the oxidation of Pd with O2 . This review summarizes most of the mechanistic studies on this topic during the past ten years. Moreover, the future of the mechanistic investigation for aerobic oxidation of Pd is also discussed.展开更多
