Electrocatalysts for hydrogen oxidation reactions (HORs) are the key to renewable-energy technologies including fuel cells, hydrogen pumps, and water splitting. Despite the significant technological interest and tremendous efforts that have been made, development of hydrogen electrode catalysts with high activity at low cost remains a great challenge. Here, we report the preparation, characterization, and electrochemical properties of a hybrid material composed of Pd nanocrystals grown on spontaneously oxidized WC as a high-performance catalyst for the HOR. The Pd/WC hybrid exhibits enhanced catalytic activity compared to a carbon supported Pd (Pd/C) catalyst, making it a Pt-free, effective catalyst for the HOR. The remarkable catalytic activity arises from synergistic ligand effects between Pd and WC.

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.
