Abstract
Developing high-performance catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction to replace costly platinum-based materials is of great importance but still confronted with challenges. Herein, a kind of supported palladium liquid metal catalyst, which is prepared by galvanic replacement, surpasses commercial Pt/C and Pd/C in oxygen reduction catalysis with a higher half-wave potential of 0.92 V, mass activity of 1.85 A/mgPd at 0.90 V, and superior durability. The liquid metal support can both optimize the electronic structures of Pd sites and guarantee the dispersion of Pd atoms, which explains the enhanced activity and durability, respectively. This work opens an avenue for rational design of catalysts.
