AB  - The necessity of replacement of traditional energy sources with renewable and green alternatives has initiated vast research of direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFC). Ethanol is non-toxic and its crossover through a membrane is lower than methanol due to its larger molecule size. However, the splitting of C–C bond in ethanol is energetically difficult and much effort in electrocatalysts’ improvement is still needed to take the advantage of the high mass energy density of ethanol [1,2]. Electrochemical oxidation of alcohols in requires a noble metal, Pt or Pd, to adsorb the molecule, but also some other oxophilic metal to facilitate further reaction of the adsorbed intermediates Their promoted oxidative desorption can be achieved by introducing oxygen-containing species at the surface, which may also modify the electronic structure of the noble metal centers and thus weaken the strong adsorbate–noble metal bond. Copper is inactive for alcohol oxidation but its addition to palladium enhances the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) rate [3,4]. Various forms of Pd-Cu electrocatalysts exhibited improved mass activity for the EOR and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but the effect of Cu addition on the specific activity is not so clear. Therefore, in the present work, specific activity for EOR and ORR of synthesized Pd-Cu nanoparticles [5] supported on high area carbon was examined. As reference catalysts, synthesized Pd/C and commercial Pt/C were used.
For the electrochemical characterization the nanocatalysts were applied on a glassy carbon (GC) substrate in the form of a thin–film. Pd/C and Pt/C were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, Cuupd, and COads stripping in an acid and an alkaline solution. Electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of the Pd-Cu nanocatalyst was calculated from the charge of desorption of CO in the alkaline solution. Cyclic voltammetry showed that in the presence of Cu atoms on the Pd surface, the onsets of CO desorption were negatively shifted. This indicates that Cu atoms provide oxygen-containing species at adjacent Pd sites at a lower potential than that achieved on pure metals. Nanocatalyst’s activity for EOR was investigated under potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions. Adding of Cu to Pd enhances the intrinsic activity of Pd for the EOR, with the greatest effect achieved for one Cu atom to 2-4 Pd atoms. Bimetallic catalysts surpassed Pd/C by mass activity, as well. The activity of Pt/C for EOR was higher compared with Pd-based catalysts, both as specific and mass activity, but with a significant decline over 30 min potentiostatic stability test. Therefore, the bifunctional and electronic effect contributed to the good performance of the nanoalloy for EOR. For ORR, Pd-Cu/C showed a negative half-wave potential shift compared to Pd/C and Pt/C of 11 and 30 mV, respectively. However, it was found that the specific ORR activities of Pd-Cu/C and Pd/C are the same at low current densities, i.e. up to a potential of 0.90 V, but higher than the specific activity of Pt/C by a factor of 5.

AB  - Two types of Cu-modified Pd catalysts supported on high area carbon were prepared: Pd nanoparticles modified with a sub-monolayer of underpotentially deposited Cu (Cu@Pd/C) and Pd-Cu alloy nanoparticles (Pd-Cu/C), and examined for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline solution. The catalysts were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, as well as cyclic voltammetry. As reference catalysts, Pd/C and Pt/C were used. The electrochemically active surface area of all samples was determined from COads and Cuupd desorption and Pd oxide reduction, and used to assess their intrinsic activity for EOR. Intimate contact of Pd with Cu atoms enhanced its activity, regardless of the type of bimetal catalyst. The atomic Pd:Cu ratio between 2:1 and 4:1 appears to be optimal for high activity. The most active catalyst under the potentiodynamic conditions was Cu@Pd/C with θ(Cu) = 0.21,although Pd-Cu/C was superior during the potentiostatic test. All bimetallic catalysts surpassed Pd/C in mass activity. The EOR activity of Pt/C was higher compared to Pd-based catalysts at low potentials, both in terms of specific and mass activity, but with a significant decline over a 30-min potentiostatic stability test.

AB  - Low loading PtAu nanoparticles supported on high area carbon were synthesized by water-in-oil microemulsion method and examined for formic acid and methanol oxidation. Prepared catalyst powder was characterized by Xray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These techniques revealed that the catalyst contains rather agglomerated quasi-spherical particles, similar to 4 nm diameter, composed of a solid solution of Pt and Au with only similar to 4 at% of Au. In spite of such low Au content, both onset and peak potentials for CO oxidation are shifted some 150 mV to more positive values in comparison to Pt synthesized in the same manner due to stronger binding of CO as a result of notable electronic effect. It is important that this small quantity of Au also significantly influences oxidation of formic acid promoting direct path and suppressing indirect path in formic acid oxidation in a degree as expected by a much larger quantity of Au. Such improvement could be due exclusively by ensemble effect of high number of small Pt domains which formation could be possible only by very fine dispersion of such low Au quantity. High number of small Pt domains is corroborated by lower activity for methanol oxidation in comparison to Pt catalyst synthesized by the same procedure. These results emphasize the importance of the Au dispersion on the surface of Pt over its quantity in PtAu catalyst with regards to both, the ensemble and the electronic effects.

AB  - Low loading PtAu nanoparticles supported on high area carbon were synthesized by water-in-oil microemulsion method and examined for formic acid and methanol oxidation. Prepared catalyst powder was characterized by Xray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These techniques revealed that the catalyst contains rather agglomerated quasi-spherical particles, similar to 4 nm diameter, composed of a solid solution of Pt and Au with only similar to 4 at% of Au. In spite of such low Au content, both onset and peak potentials for CO oxidation are shifted some 150 mV to more positive values in comparison to Pt synthesized in the same manner due to stronger binding of CO as a result of notable electronic effect. It is important that this small quantity of Au also significantly influences oxidation of formic acid promoting direct path and suppressing indirect path in formic acid oxidation in a degree as expected by a much larger quantity of Au. Such improvement could be due exclusively by ensemble effect of high number of small Pt domains which formation could be possible only by very fine dispersion of such low Au quantity. High number of small Pt domains is corroborated by lower activity for methanol oxidation in comparison to Pt catalyst synthesized by the same procedure. These results emphasize the importance of the Au dispersion on the surface of Pt over its quantity in PtAu catalyst with regards to both, the ensemble and the electronic effects.

AB  - PtAu systems are recognized as good catalysts for the oxidation of formic acid electrooxidation, which is investigated as a possible anodic reaction in low-temperature fuel cells. In this research, bimetallic PtAu nanoparticles, supported on high area carbon Vulcan XC-72R, were synthesized by water in oil microemulsion method. The precursor reduction process took place in a single microemulsion, simultaneously, in the presence of 35% of HCl in the water phase, as a capping agent. Electrochemical behavior of the PtAu/C catalyst was investigated at as prepared electrodes by cyclic voltammetry in 0.5M H2SO4 as a supporting electrolyte, and also in the oxidation of adsorbed CO. The results were compared to the Pt/C catalyst prepared by the same synthesis procedure. PtAu/C catalyst powder was also characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS). Average particle diameter, of 2nm, was calculated from XRD data, which is close to the value of 2.82 nm obtained from TEM images. Compared to identically synthesized Pt nanoparticles, the bimetallic ones are significantly smaller. EDS maps of PtAu/C sample confirm the presence of both elements, and indicate a very fine distribution of Au in the sample. Elemental composition of about 20% Au and 80% Pt was also determined from these maps. Prepared catalyst was tested for formic acid electro-oxidation in terms of its activity and stability over the long term cycling. The voltammograms recorded indicate the change of reaction mechanism and better utilization of the catalyst surface in comparison to Pt/C.

AB  - In this research, a water-in-oil microemulsion method with HCl as a capping agent was applied to synthesize carbon supported Pt catalysts. Varying the concentration of HCl caused changes in the shape of obtained nanoparticles, i.e. preferential growth of certain facets. Addition of catalyst support in the synthesis process facilitated the cleaning procedures necessary to remove the surfactant residues. Prepared catalyst powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD analysis indicated the influence of HCl addition on the crystallite size and crystal habit. TEM revealed that addition of higher amounts of the capping agent led to the formation of a noticable amount of particles with concave cubic or branched-like structures. Influence of the catalyst particles shape on its electrochemical properties was tested in the oxidations of COads, ammonia and formic acid. The latter one was examined in terms of both activity and stability of as prepared and oxide-annealed (electrochemically treated) catalysts. The results clearly demonstrate that even small changes in the nanoparticle surface structure give rise to distinct modifications in their properties. Concave cubic particles, in comparison to other catalysts, show improved catalytic properties and the contribution of their preferentially oriented {100} facets is electrochemically detectable.

AB  - Pd-Ni/C catalyst was synthesized employing a borohydride reduction method. The high area Ni was first dispersed on the carbon support and then modified by Pd nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed relatively even distribution of Ni across the carbon support with discrete palladium particles of about 3.3 nm mean diameter on it. Cyclic voltammetry confirmed the presence of Ni on the catalyst surface. The activity of the Pd-Ni/C catalysts for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline solution was tested under the potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions and the results were compared to those obtained on the Pd/C catalyst. It was found that Pd-Ni/C is more active for the EOR compared to Pd/C by a factor up to 3, depending on the type of experiments and whether specific activity or mass activity are considered. During the potentiodynamic stability test an interesting phenomenon of activation of Pd-Ni/C catalyst was observed. It was found that maximum activity is attained after fifty cycles with the positive potential limit of 1.2 V, regardless of whether they were performed in the electrolyte with or without ethanol. It was postulated that potential cycling of the Pd-Ni surface causes reorganization of the catalyst surface bringing Pd and Ni sites to a more suitable arrangement for the efficient ethanol oxidation.

abstract = "In this research, a water-in-oil microemulsion method with HCl as a capping agent was applied to synthesize carbon supported Pt catalysts. Varying the concentration of HCl caused changes in the shape of obtained nanoparticles, i.e. preferential growth of certain facets. Addition of catalyst support in the synthesis process facilitated the cleaning procedures necessary to remove the surfactant residues. Prepared catalyst powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD analysis indicated the influence of HCl addition on the crystallite size and crystal habit. TEM revealed that addition of higher amounts of the capping agent led to the formation of a noticable amount of particles with concave cubic or branched-like structures. Influence of the catalyst particles shape on its electrochemical properties was tested in the oxidations of COads, ammonia and formic acid. The latter one was examined in terms of both activity and stability of as prepared and oxide-annealed (electrochemically treated) catalysts. The results clearly demonstrate that even small changes in the nanoparticle surface structure give rise to distinct modifications in their properties. Concave cubic particles, in comparison to other catalysts, show improved catalytic properties and the contribution of their preferentially oriented {100} facets is electrochemically detectable.",

AB  - Pt nanoparticles supported on Vulcan XC-72R were synthesized by water-in-oil microemulsion method. By incorporating different amounts of HCl as a capping agent in the precursor-containing water phase, nanoparticle shape was varied. Influencing the growth of certain facets leads to the changes of the particle shape depending on the preferential facets. As a result, nanoparticles exhibit some of the electrochemical features typical for single crystals. Commonly employed synthesis procedure for water-in-oil microemulsion method was altered with the addition of catalyst support in the system and changing the catalyst cleaning steps. Prepared catalysts were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical methods. Activity and stability for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), a structure-sensitive reaction, were tested. Electrochemical results reveal the influence of particle size, shape and exposed facets on the electrochemical processes. TEM investigations confirm electrochemical findings, while TGA verifies Pt loading in catalyst powder. Based on the results, optimal HCl concentration for cubic particle formation is determined, and structural effect on MOR activity and stability was tested. Cuboidal NPs show very good reaction activity and fair stability under applied experimental conditions.

AB  - Electrocatalytic activity of platinum-based electrocatalysts used in fuel cells has been well recognized. However, significant attention remains on the particle shape and size control of such nanomaterials. Catalytic activity can be enhanced by alloying Pt with another element (e.g. Ru and Sn), or by supporting Pt on metal oxides, both of which involve a bifunctional effect. It is also possible to achieve better catalytic characteristics by exposing different Pt crystal facets, which alters chemical and electronic interactions (structural effect). In order to synthesize Pt nanoparticles of a pre-determined shape, water in oil microemulsion method was used, with a few modifications: carbon support (Vulcan XC-72R) was added into the microemulsion itself, just after the completion of the reduction reaction of H2PtCl6 with NaBH4 as the reducing agent and this was crucial for further improvements of the catalyst cleaning procedures. Microemulsion consisted of [n-heptane] / [polyethileneglycoldodecyether (BRIJ30)] / [0,1M H2PtCl6 in 0, 15, 25 and 35% HCl], so four Pt catalyst were formed using different amounts of HCl in the water phase of the microemulsion. In comparison to previously reported applications of the microemulsion method, where electrochemical treatment of catalysts before its application was necessary, this alteration of cleaning steps made use of the “as prepared” catalysts possible. Catalysts A (0% HCl), B (15% HCl), C (25% HCl) and D (35% HCl) were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), as well as with electrochemical characterization methods (cyclic voltammetry in supporting electrolyte, CO stripping). TEM images confirmed the presence of cubic Pt particles, and indicated their good dispersion on carbon support, while XRD patterns revealed the share of each plane orientation in all investigated catalysts. This acknowledged the influence of HCl in the microemulsion on the shape of Pt particles. Mean particle size was determined both by TEM and XRD investigations, which are in good accordance, and show that average diameters of these four catalysts vary from 3 to 8 nm.
