Abstract
Palladium coatings are deposited onto bulk silver, nickel and copper electrodes using galvanic exchange to study the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on those bimetallic electrodes. The electrodes prepared by galvanic replacement for 30 min in the Pd precursor bath are analysed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the surface morphology of all Pd coatings prepared onto Ag substrates are examined by scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical tests show that specific activity of Pd on Ag for ORR in alkaline media increases with deposition time and specific activity of palladium on nickel reaches a plateau after 30 min of galvanic replacement.
Graphical Abstract
ORR was studied in 0.1 M KOH on Ag, Cu and Ni electrodes coated with palladium via galvanic replacement. Specific activity of Pd on Ag increased with each subsequent deposition step, whereas Pd on Ni reached maximum with 30 min.
期刊介绍:
Electrocatalysis is cross-disciplinary in nature, and attracts the interest of chemists, physicists, biochemists, surface and materials scientists, and engineers. Electrocatalysis provides the unique international forum solely dedicated to the exchange of novel ideas in electrocatalysis for academic, government, and industrial researchers. Quick publication of new results, concepts, and inventions made involving Electrocatalysis stimulates scientific discoveries and breakthroughs, promotes the scientific and engineering concepts that are critical to the development of novel electrochemical technologies.
Electrocatalysis publishes original submissions in the form of letters, research papers, review articles, book reviews, and educational papers. Letters are preliminary reports that communicate new and important findings. Regular research papers are complete reports of new results, and their analysis and discussion. Review articles critically and constructively examine development in areas of electrocatalysis that are of broad interest and importance. Educational papers discuss important concepts whose understanding is vital to advances in theoretical and experimental aspects of electrochemical reactions.
