Black phosphorous/palladium functionalized carbon aerogel nanocomposite for highly efficient ethanol electrooxidation

Abstract

A black phosphorus/palladium (BP/Pd) nanohybrid catalyst embedded in a carbon aerogel matrix exhibits remarkable electroactivity and durability for ethanol electrooxidation in an alkaline medium.

Solvated electron-induced synthesis of cyclodextrin-coated Pd nanoparticles: mechanistic, catalytic, and anticancer studies

“…, 336.9 eV and 342.6 eV clearly suggests the oxidation of surface Pd atoms and may be attributed to the presence of the PdO layer on the surface of the NPs. 56,57 The core level spectrum of O 1s (Fig. 3d) also complemented the formation of the oxide layer on the NPs.…”
