Abstract
Direct formate fuel cells (DFFCs) have been considered as ideal "green" energy converters due to their high-power density, simple structure and good safety. However, the DFFCs have not been extensively used because of the Hads-poisoning issue on Pd-based catalysts in formate oxidation reaction (FOR). Herein, a series of Pd/CuxFe12-x/Fe2O3/CuO (PCF-x) catalysts have been designed to solve the Hads-poisoning problem. The results present that the CuxFe12-x/Fe2O3/CuO (CF-x) have good OHads generating abilities, thereby promoting the stripping of Hads (CF-x-OHads + Pd-Hads → CF-x + Pd + H2O) and improving the FOR performances of PCF-x. Moreover, the FOR performances of PCF-x have been studied by modifying the Cu/Fe ratio, the optimized PCF-4 has been found to have a high mass activity (6999 mA mg-1 Pd), small Tafel slope (112 mV dec−1), high ECSA (87.4 m2 g−1), superior cyclic stability (29.2 % activity loss for 10000 CV cycles) and durability (12 h i-t with residual activity of 36.72 mA mg-1 Pd), which provides a new idea for high-performance DFFCs anode catalysts.
