Abstract

THF was investigated as a suitable solvent to disperse pristine graphene due to the van der Waals interaction. THF was therefore chosen as the solvent to successfully synthesize Pd particles with a diameter of 1.8 nm on graphene which exhibited improved electrocatalytic activities and stabilities for formic acid electro-oxidation.
