Palladium/Copper Nanoalloy Supported on Carbon Nanotubes for the Electrooxidation of Methanol and Ethylene Glycol

摘要

Herein, we demonstrate the ultrasonic-assisted synthesis of Palladium/Copper nanoalloy supported on carbon nanotubes (PdCu/CNT) towards the electro-oxidation of methanol and ethylene glycol using Triton X-100 as a stabilizer. Structural and morphological analysis manifests the formation of PdCu nano- alloy on the surface of CNTs. For the electrochemical compar- ison, PdCu on Vulcan carbon (PdCu/VC) also synthesized in the same procedure and characterized thoroughly.
