Three Dimensional Palladium Nanoflowers With Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity Towards The Anodic Oxidation Of Formic Acid

Three-dimensional palladium nanoflowers (Pd-NF) composed of ultrathin Pd nanosheets were synthesized by a solvothermal approach. The Pd-NF catalyst shows 6.6- and 5.5-fold enhancements in mass activity and surface activity compared to normal palladium nanoparticles (Pd-NP) in the electro-oxidation of formic acid.
