Abstract

CeO2 nanotubes with well-defined hollow interiors are employed as support material for Pd electrocatalysts towards formic acid oxidation (FAO). Pd nanoparticles are deposited both on the outer surfaces and inside interiors of CeO2 nanotubes. The as-prepared Pd catalysts possess a large electrochemical surface area (ESA) and exhibit improved electrocatalytic performance towards FAO in comparison with the Vulcan XC-72 carbon black and the commercial CeO2 powder supported Pd catalysts.
