Abstract

Abstract: Naphthalen-1-ylmethylphosphonic acid was modified on multiwall carbon nanotube(MWCNT) by the π-π stacking interaction. Then, the Pd catalyst was supported on it. Furthermore, the MWCNT supported Pd-Au(Pd-Au/MWCNT) catalyst was facially prepared by the replacement reaction between Pd nanoparticles and HAuCl4. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements showed that non-alloyed Pd-Au nanoparticles were highly dispersed on the surface of MWCNT. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometric measurements indicated that the Pd-Au/MWCNT catalyst exhibited better electrocatalytic activity and stability for formic acid oxidation than that of the Pd/MWCNT catalyst.

Key words: direct formic acid fuel cells, carbon nanotubes, catalyst, formic acid oxidation
