    Abstract:
    Designing high-efficiency and newly developed Pd-based bifunctional catalytic materials still faces tremendous challenges for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and formic acid oxidation reaction (FAO). Metallene materials with unique structural features are considered strong candidates for enhancing the catalytic performance. In this work, we synthesized copper-doped two-dimensional curved porous Pd metallene nanomaterials via a simplistic one-pot solvothermal method. The updated catalysts served as sturdy bifunctional electrocatalysts for cathodal ORR and anodic FAO. In particular, the developed PdCu metallene exhibits excellent half-wave potential (0.943 V vs RHE) and mass activity (MA) (1.227 A mgPt-1) in alkaline solutions, which are 1.09 and 6.26 times higher than those of commercial Pt/C, respectively, indicating that the nanomaterials have abundant active sites, displaying surpassing catalytic performance for oxygen reduction. Furthermore, in an acidic formic acid electrolyte, PdCu metallene exhibits prominent MA with a value of 0.905 A mgPd-1, which is 2.76 times that of commercial Pd/C. The remarkable bifunctional catalytic performance of metallene materials can be attributed to the special structure and electronic effects. This work shows that metallene materials with curved and porous properties provide a scientific idea for the development and design of efficient and steady electrocatalysts.
