Oxygen reduction activity of Pd–Mn3O4nanoparticles and performance enhancement by voltammetrically accelerated degradation
Literature Information
Chang Hyuck Choi, Sung Hyeon Park, Seong Ihl Woo
Electrochemical properties of Pd–Mn3O4 nanoparticles toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic media were investigated. The catalysts were prepared by polyol reduction of Pd(acac)2 and thermal decomposition of Mn2(CO)10. Surface composition and structure of the particles vary depending on the injection temperature of Mn2(CO)10 and are closely related to the electrochemical properties. The presence of Mn3O4 promotes the performance towards ORR by facilitating oxygen transfer to the active sites of Pd. Through an accelerated degradation test (ADT), nanoparticles with a Pd-rich shell are obtained by dissolution of surface exposed Mn3O4 and at 0.57 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) this catalyst shows the highest activity towards ORR, 149% in mass activity and 142% in specific activity compared to that of Pd/C.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
