Abstract:Pd as cathodic catalyst exhibits relatively low current density in mixing kinetic/diffusion controlled region. To improve catalytic activity of Pd, alloying Pd with another transition metal is an effective approach. Here, we prepared carbon-supported Pd-Ir nanoalloys (Pd-Ir/C) through impregnation method. Four types of Pd-Ir/C were designed and referred as Pd19Ir/C, Pd9Ir/C, Pd3Ir/C, and PdIr/C using nominal Pd/Ir atomic ratios of 19:1, 9:1, 3:1, and 1:1, respectively. The results showed that Pd and Ir formed … Show more
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.
