Compositionally tuned PdZn nanoparticles for enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward the ethanol oxidation reaction
The sluggish kinetics of the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), coupled with the high cost and low stability of catalysts, pose a critical bottleneck for the development of direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs). Here, Vulcan XC-72 supported highly dispersed PdZn nanoparticles with tunable compositions (PdZnx/C) are synthesi...
