Au–Pd alloy catalyst with high performance for hydrogen generation from formic acid-formate solution at nearly 0 °C

By reduction of mixed noble metal precursors in aqueous phase under ice-water bath conditions, well dispersed Au–Pd alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon black were facilely prepared. The catalyst exhibited high activity and selectivity at nearly 0 °C, with an initial turnover frequency (TOF) up t...

Summary:By reduction of mixed noble metal precursors in aqueous phase under ice-water bath conditions, well dispersed Au–Pd alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon black were facilely prepared. The catalyst exhibited high activity and selectivity at nearly 0 °C, with an initial turnover frequency (TOF) up to 635 h −1 . At room temperature the initial TOF of the catalyst reached 1075 h −1 , which is rather high compared with those reported in the literature.
