Ultrathin nanosheet catalysts deliver great potential in catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but encounter the ceiling of the surface at. utilizations, thus presenting a challenge associated with further boosting catalytic activity. Herein, a kind of PdPtCu ultrathin nanorings with increased numbers of electrocatalytically active sites is reported, with the purpose of breaking the activity ceiling of conventional catalysts. The as-made PdPtCu nanorings possess abundant high-index facets at the edge of both the exterior and interior surfaces. An ultrahigh electrochem. active surface area of 92.2 m2 g-1PGM is achieved on this novel catalyst, much higher than that of the com. Pt/C catalyst. The optimized Pd39Pt33Cu28/C shows a great enhanced ORR activity with a specific activity of 2.39 mA cm-2 and a mass activity of 1.97 A mg-1PGM at 0.9 V (vs. RHE), as well as superior durability within 30 000 cycles. D. function theory calculations reveal that the high-index facets and alloying Cu atoms can optimize the oxygen adsorption energy, explaining the enhanced ORR activity. Overcoming a key tech. barrier in sub-nanometer electrocatalysts, this work successfully introduces the hollow structures into the ultrathin nanosheets, heralding the exciting prospects of high-performance ORR catalysts in fuel cells. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Bis(acetylacetone)copper(cas: 13395-16-9Quality Control of Bis(acetylacetone)copper)
Bis(acetylacetone)copper(cas: 13395-16-9) is used as PVC stabilizer, and curing agents for epoxy resins, acrylic adhesives and silicone rubbers. It is also used as solvents, lubricant additives, paint drier, and pesticides.Quality Control of Bis(acetylacetone)copper
