PdCo nanotube arrays (NTAs) supported on carbon fiber cloth (CFC) (PdCo NTAs/CFC) are presented as high-performance flexible electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation. The fabricated flexible PdCo NTAs/CFC exhibits significantly improved electrocatalytic activity and durability compared with Pd NTAs/CFC and commercial Pd/C catalysts. Most importantly, the PdCo NTAs/CFC shows excellent flexibility and the high electrocatalytic performance remains almost constant under the different distorted states, such as normal, bending, and twisting states. This work shows the first example of Pd-based alloy NTAs supported on CFC as high-performance flexible electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation.
负载在碳纤维布（CFC）上的 PdCo 纳米管阵列（NTAs）（PdCo NTAs/CFC）作为高性能的柔性乙醇氧化电催化剂被提出。与 Pd NTAs/CFC 和商业 Pd/C 催化剂相比，所制备的柔性 PdCo NTAs/CFC 表现出显著提高的电催化活性和耐久性。最重要的是，PdCo NTAs/CFC 具有出色的柔韧性，并且在不同的变形状态下，例如正常、弯曲和扭曲状态，其高电催化性能几乎保持不变。这项工作展示了首例负载在 CFC 上的基于 Pd 的合金 NTAs 作为高性能的柔性乙醇氧化电催化剂。
