  • Title: Direct electrodeposition of tetrahexahedral Pd nanocrystals with high-index facets and high catalytic activity for ethanol electrooxidation.
    Author: Tian N, Zhou ZY, Yu NF, Wang LY, Sun SG.
    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2010 Jun 09; 132(22):7580-1. PubMed ID: 20469858.
    Abstract:
    Tetrahexahedral Pd nanocrystals (THH Pd NCs) with {730} high-index facets were directly produced on a glassy carbon substrate in a dilute PdCl(2) solution by a newly developed programmed electrodeposition method. The THH Pd NCs, thanks to their high density of surface atomic steps, exhibit 4-6 times higher catalytic activity than commercial Pd black catalyst toward ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline solutions. This straightforward method provides a promising route to facile preparation of high-index-faceted metal nanocatalysts with high catalytic activity.
