Abstract

Abstract

Herein, a new superfine nano Pd/Ni-Mo₂C (2-6 nm) catalyst is developed via a facile, alkali-induced self-assembly strategy. The catalyst exhibits excellent performance towards ethanol electro-catalytic oxidation in alkaline system, with an activity of 2832.2 mA/mgPd and a residual current density of 447.8 mA/mgPd, which is 2.6 and 4.7 times enhancements compared with the commercial 10% Pt/C catalyst (1107.6 and 96.1 mA/mgPd).
