Abstract

Direct ethylene glycol fuel cells (DEGFCs) necessitate cost-effective and efficient electrocatalyst toward oxidation of ethylene glycol (EG) to overcome the challenges associated with sluggish anodic oxidation reaction kinetics. Herein, Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) granules support well-dispersed Ru-doped Pd electrocatalysts (PdRu/PEDOT) were synthesized. The optimized Pd₄Ru₂/PEDOT demonstrates exceptional electrocatalytic performance toward alkaline EG oxidation reaction (EGOR) electrocatalysis, achieving the mass activity of 4141.8 mA mg_Pd^-1. The exceptional catalytic activity stems from the three-dimensional porous structure of Pd₄Ru₂/PEDOT, which presents abundant active sites and kinetically accelerates electron/reactant transport within its mesoporous architecture. In addition, the results of long-term cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) tests demonstrate that Pd₄Ru₂/PEDOT exhibits superior catalytic durability and anti-poisoning capabilities, attributable to the synergistic effect between the electron-rich conjugated structure of PEDOT and the presence of both Pd and Ru. This study offers novel insights into the development of electrocatalysts for DEGFCs.

直接乙二醇燃料电池（DEGFCs）需要经济高效的乙二醇（EG）氧化电催化剂，以克服阳极氧化反应动力学缓慢所带来的挑战。在此，我们合成了聚(3,4-亚乙二氧基噻吩)（PEDOT）颗粒支撑分散良好的掺钌钯电催化剂（PdRu/PEDOT）。优化后的 Pd4Ru2/PEDOT 对碱性 EG 氧化反应（EGOR）电催化具有优异的电催化性能，质量活性达到 4141.8 mA mgPd-1。Pd4Ru2/PEDOT 的三维多孔结构提供了丰富的活性位点，并在其介孔结构中加速了电子/反应物的传输，因而具有优异的催化活性。此外，长期循环伏安法（CV）和精密量热法（CA）测试结果表明，Pd4Ru2/PEDOT 具有卓越的催化耐久性和抗中毒能力，这归功于 PEDOT 的富电子共轭结构与 Pd 和 Ru 的协同效应。这项研究为开发用于 DEGFCs 的电催化剂提供了新的见解。
