Abstract:
The TiO
2 - C hybrid material was prepared by carbonization of the mixed precursor containing TiO
2 and melamine, and was used to support Pd nanoparticles for electrocatalytic formic acid oxidation. The as-prepared Pd/TiO
2 - C catalyst was characterized by XRD, TEM, HR-TEM, EDS, and electrochemical measurements. Pd nanoparticles deposited on the hetero interfaces of TiO
2 - C possessed a large electrochemical surface area and exhibited enhanced activity and stability towards formic acid oxidation
