A unique one-pot strategy for PdH0.706 nanoparticles with enhanced stability and activity towards the ethanol oxidation reaction†
Abstract
We present a novel and universal solvothermal method for fabricating high-hydrogen-content PdH0.706 nanoparticles, which demonstrate 1.53 A mg−1 ethanol oxidation activity, 1.39 and 1.76 times higher than hydrogen-free Pd and commercial Pd black, respectively, along with superior stability and CO tolerance under alkaline conditions.
