Abstract Electrochemical synthesis of H 2 O through a selective two-electron (2e − ) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an attractive alternative to the industrial anthraquinone oxidation method, as it allows decentralized production. Herein, we report that synergistic interaction between partially oxidized palladium (Pd δ+ and oxygen-functionalized carbon can promote 2e ORR in acidic electrolytes. An electrocatalyst synthesized by solution deposition amorphous Pd clusters 3 4 onto mildly...

Pyrolyzed Fe/N/C, a promising nonprecious-metal catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), usually relies on abundant micropores, which can host large amount of active sites. However, microporous structure suffers from severe water flooding to break the triple-phase interface where ORR occurs, especially in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) fed with liquid fuel. Current studies about fabrication are mainly limited Pt/C layer, mesopores and macropores concerned. Here, we successfully...

Ethanol is a green, sustainable, and high-energy-density liquid fuel that holds great promise for direct cells (DLFCs). However, it remains highly challenging to develop electrocatalysts selectively promote the C–C bond scission ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR).
