Direct deposition of a uniform and high-quality Bi2Se3 thin film on a graphene film (layer controlled) is performed using a catalyst-free vapor deposition system in a Se-rich environment.
Nitrogen and sulfur co‐doped graphene supported Pd oxide‐rich (PdOx‐rich) Pd nanoparticles (Pd/NS‐rGO) are synthesized by microwave‐assisted ascorbic acid reduction method. Raman spectrum reveals that the introduced NS co‐doping could introduce more defects on the graphene surface. X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron spectrum, SEM and TEM images indicate that the synthesized PdOx‐rich Pd particles are well‐dispersed on NS co‐doped graphene surface. Cyclic voltammograms curves illustrate that the Pd/NS‐rGO catalyst exhibits a larger electrochemically active surface area (35.7 m2 g−1) and higher positive current density (1,054.0 mA mg−1 Pd) than other catalysts prepared by similar methods. The Pd/NS‐rGO catalyst also reveals superior anti‐poisoning intermediate species ability and amazing stability. The electrocatalytic mechanism is also detailedly discussed and the designed Pd/NS‐rGO catalyst has opened up a new insight and methodology for the construction of a high performance and stability ethanol electrocatalysts in corrosive alkaline environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
