Abstract

Monodisperse butylphenyl-functionalized palladium (Pd-BP, dia. 2.24 nm) nanoparticles were synthesized through co-reduction of butylphenyldiazonium and H2PdCl4 by NaBH4. Because of this unique surface functionalization and a high specific electrochemical surface area (122 m2 g−1), the Pd-BP nanoparticles exhibited a mass activity ∼4.5 times that of commercial Pd black for HCOOH electrooxidation.
