Hierarchical Pd4Fe alloy nanoflowers with nanosheet petals mainly exposed the (111) crystal plane were prepared by reducing palladium acetylacetonate with Fe(CO)5 and oleylamine. The novel nanomaterials may be emerging materials in electrochemical field by virtue of the advantage of hierarchical architectures and 2D alloy nanosheets.

The enhanced electrocatalytic properties of rGO/TiO2NTs for the ORR are a result of increased specific surface area, number of active sites and accelerated electron conductivity.

Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C)-based electrocatalysts were prepared using two different carbon supports, commercial carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and synthesised carbon xerogel (CXG), to be studied from the point of view of both capacitive and electrocatalytic properties. Cation type (K+ or Na+) in the alkaline electrolyte solution did not affect the rate of formation of the electrical double layer at a low scan rate of 10 mV s−1. Conversely, the different mobility of these cations through the electrolyte was found to be crucial for the rate of double-layer formation at higher scan rates. Molybdenum carbide supported on carbon xerogel (Mo2C/CXG) showed ca. 3 times higher double-layer capacity amounting to 75 mF cm−2 compared to molybdenum carbide supported on carbon nanotubes (Mo2C/CNT) with a value of 23 mF cm−2 due to having more than double the surface area size. The electrocatalytic properties of carbon-supported molybdenum carbides for the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media were evaluated using linear scan voltammetry with a rotating disk electrode. The studied materials demonstrated good electrocatalytic performance with Mo2C/CXG delivering higher current densities at more positive onset and half-wave potential. The number of electrons exchanged during oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was calculated to be 3, suggesting a combination of four- and two-electron mechanism.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) have been studied on a wide range of elec-trocatalysts, including bimetallic materials which are based solely on platinum group metals and their alloys. This work reports the synthe-sis and characterization of a novel bimetallic electrocatalyst, IrxMny(CO)n(DMF)z, for the ORR and HOR in acid media. The material was synthesized by reacting Ir4(CO)12 and MnCl2·4H2O in DMF. It was characterized structurally by FT-IR and micro-Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, SEM and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy; the electrochemical characterization was made by the rotating disk elec-trode technique, at room temperature. The electrocatalytic activity of the new material for the ORR and HOR does not show appreciable variations due to the presence of methanol or carbon monoxide, respectively, even at high concentrations of these contaminants (2 mol L-1 methanol and 0.5% CO). This tolerance is a very important property with respect to platinum-based catalysts, which are poisoned by low concentrations of such contaminants. The kinetic parameters of the novel catalyst, such as Tafel slope (b), exchange current density (jo) and charge transfer coefficient (α), are reported as well. The results show that the novel electrocatalyst is attractive for evaluation as cath-ode/anode in PEM fuel cells.
