Zeolite supported Pd electrocatalyst nano-particle characterization

Yao, Jun; Yao, Yufeng

Abstract

Palladium (Pd) as one of platinum (Pt) group metals has
attracted significant attentions since it has shown good
activities for hydrogen reaction (HOR) and oxygen
reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cell application and high
solubility and mobility as hydrogen storage material1.
Furthermore, due to considerably cheaper price than Pt,
Pd is regarded as a very compatible substitute alternative
to Pt once its electrocatalytic performance can be further
enhanced in coherence to Pt catalysts. Over the years,
extensive researches have been carried out to investigate
Pd nano-structure and surface activity on carbon based Pd
system, with few studies having focused on polymer
materials like zeolite based Pd electrocatalyst. Hence, this
paper contributes towards the study of laboratory made
zeolite supported 1.5 wt% Pd nanoparticle structure and
its resultant electrochemical performance for fuel cell
application by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the
Extended X-ray Adsorption Fine Structure (EXFAS).
