Metallene is receiving continuous attention because of its unique properties in electrocatalysis. Herein, we report a new class of three-dimensional (3D) Cr-doped Pd metallene nanoribbon (PdCr MNR) assembly. The 3D PdCr MNR was about 4 or 5 atomic layers thick with high-density low-coordinated Pd sites and abundant defects. The 3D PdCr MNR/C exhibited significantly enhanced oxygen reduction reaction and formic acid oxidation reaction compared with the commercial Pt/C and Pd/C and long-term durability. This work introduces a new member in the class of the metallene family, and this novel material is a promising bifunctional electrocatalyst for practical direct methanol/formic acid fuel cell devices.
由于其在电催化中的独特性质,金属烯受到了持续关注。在此,我们报告了一类新型的三维(3D)Cr 掺杂 Pd 金属烯纳米带(PdCr MNR)组装体。3D PdCr MNR 的厚度约为 4 或 5 个原子层,具有高密度低配位 Pd 位和丰富的缺陷。与商业 Pt/C 和 Pd/C 相比,3D PdCr MNR/C 表现出显著增强的氧还原反应和甲酸氧化反应以及长期耐久性。这项工作引入了金属烯家族的一个新成员,这种新型材料是一种有前途的实用直接甲醇/甲酸燃料电池器件的双功能电催化剂。
