摘要
Here, we, for the first time, synthesized Pd nanotubes covered by high-density Au-islands, in which abundant exposed Pd Au heterojunction interfaces are present and the content of element Au can be easily controlled. The optimized nanostructures show remarkably enhanced activity for catalyzing different alcohols in alkaline media than commercial Pd/C. The mass activity is 9.66, 1.83, and 4.60 A mgmetal(-1) toward the electrooxidation of ethanol, glycerol, and ethylene glycol in alkaline media, which is about 6, 4, and 7 times that of Pd/C, respectively. Additionally, a model was proposed to explain the relationship between the structure and the catalytic activity.
