Abstract:
The Pt84Pb16 (atomic ratio) bimetallic alloy nanoflowers (Pt84Pb16 BANFs) are synthesized by a simple one-pot hydrothermal reduction method that effectively enhance the dehydrogenation pathway of the formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) due to the ensemble effect and the electronic effect. As a result, the mass activity of Pt84Pb16 BANFs for the FAOR is 16.7 times higher than that of commercial Pt black at 0.3 V potential.
