摘要
Carbon-supported Pd nanocubes with the size of 30, 10 and 7 nm were prepared and their electrocatalytic activity towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline solution was studied. For comparison carbon-supported spherical Pd nanoparticles and commercial Pd/C catalyst were used. The catalysts were characterised by transmission electron microscopy, electro-oxidation of carbon monoxide and cyclic voltammetry and the ORR activity was evaluated using the rotating disk electrode method. The ORR on all studied Pd/C catalysts proceeded via four-electron pathway where the rate-limiting step was the transfer of the first electron to O-2 molecule. The specific activity of Pd nanocubes was more than two times higher than that of spherical Pd nanoparticles and increased with increasing the particle size. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
