To achieve high electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and avoid carbon support and binder in the anode catalyst of direct ethanol fuel cell, herein, we design freestanding core-shell nickel@palladium-nickel nanowire arrays (Ni@Pd-Ni NAs) without carbon support and binder for high-efficiency ethanol electro-oxidation. Bare Ni nanowire arrays (Ni NAs) are first prepared using the facile template-assistant electrodeposition method. Subsequently, the Ni@Pd-Ni NAs are formed using one-step solution-based alloying reaction. The optimized Ni@Pd-Ni NA electrode with a high ECSA of 64.4 m g exhibits excellent electrochemical performance (peak current density: 622 A g) and cycling stability for ethanol electro-oxidation. The facilely obtained yet high-efficiency core-shell Ni@Pd-Ni NA electrode is a promising electrocatalyst, which can be utilized for oxygen reduction reaction, urea, hydrazine hydrate, and hydrogen peroxide electro-oxidation, not limited to the ethanol electro-oxidation.
为了实现高电化学表面积(ECSA)并避免直接乙醇燃料电池阳极催化剂中的碳载体和粘结剂,本文设计了无碳载体和粘结剂的独立核壳镍@钯-镍纳米线阵列(Ni@Pd-Ni NAs),用于高效乙醇电氧化。首先使用简便的模板辅助电沉积法制备裸镍纳米线阵列(Ni NAs)。随后,通过一步基于溶液的合金化反应形成 Ni@Pd-Ni NAs。优化后的 Ni@Pd-Ni NA 电极具有 64.4 m g 的高 ECSA,表现出优异的电化学性能(峰值电流密度:622 A g)和乙醇电氧化的循环稳定性。这种简便获得的高效核壳 Ni@Pd-Ni NA 电极是一种有前途的电催化剂,可用于氧还原反应、尿素、水合肼和过氧化氢电氧化,不仅限于乙醇电氧化。
