Investigating the effect of carbon support on palladium-based catalyst towards electro-oxidation of ethylene glycol

Abstract: Palladium-based catalysts serve as promising electrocatalysts for the oxidation of ethylene glycol to produce electrical energy that can be used to address the continuous worldwide energy demand increments along with the depletion of fossil fuels which serve as the main energy source. For optimal catalysts performance, carbon nanotubes and carbon nanodots were investigated as palladium catalyst support materials to address difficulties in oxidizing and breaking the C–C bonds in ethylene glycol, cost of electro… Show more

“…Despite these significant merits, the electrocatalytic activity of bimetallic catalysts toward EGEOR is limited because of their deprived electron mobility channels, fewer accessible electroactive sites, and the modest electrochemically active surface area of aggregated bimetallic structures under harsh electrochemical regimes . Earlier efforts addressed the aforementioned issues with the use of multifunctional carbonaceous materials as scaffolds because of their elevated surface area, large pore size distribution, and conductive skeleton . However, the direct contact of bimetallic nanoparticles in a metal/carbon nanocomposite with an electrolyte can lead to dissolution and aggregation in harsh environments, limiting their catalytic performance and durability under the cycling processes .…”

“…14 Earlier efforts addressed the aforementioned issues with the use of multifunctional carbonaceous materials as scaffolds because of their elevated surface area, large pore size distribution, and conductive skeleton. 15 However, the direct contact of bimetallic nanoparticles in a metal/carbon nanocomposite with an electrolyte can lead to dissolution and aggregation in harsh environments, limiting their catalytic performance and durability under the cycling processes. 16 Accordingly, the encasement of metal nanostructures with the carbon shell is inferred as an expectant solution to avert the above surface distress.…”

“…4,5 In order to solve these problems, homogeneous palladium catalysts have been deposited on suitable solid matrices to facilitate their separation, recovery and reuse. [6][7][8] For example, palladium on carbon (Pd/C) catalyst is one of the most favorable commercialized heterogeneous palladium catalysts and widely used in various chemical transformations. 2 However, it is still a significant challenge to explore the solution for the deactivation of Pd/C catalyst upon successive reuses due to the palladium leaching.…”
