Pd@Pt/C catalysts fabricated using chemisorbed CO as in situ reductant: advanced catalytic behaviour for formic acid oxidation†
Abstract
A Pd sub-layer on a Pt substrate is fabricated stoichiometrically using chemisorbed CO as an in situ reductant. The Pd sub-layer of the Pd@Pt/C catalysts exhibits a more negative oxidation peak and 3 times higher mass activity for formic acid oxidation than commercial Pd/C.
