Abstract

TiO2 nanorods (TiO2-R) and irregular TiO2 (TiO2-I) with anatase phase structure are synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis and inorganic sol gel method, respectively. Using as-prepared TiO2 as support, Pd/TiO2 catalysts are prepared by using sodium ethylenediamine tetracetate (EDTA) as complexing agent and NaBH4 as reductant. The studies of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveal that the average particle size of Pd/TiO2-R catalyst is very similar to that of Pd/TiO2-I catalyst. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show that the peak current of formic acid oxidation at Pd/TiO2-R catalyst increases by 70%. Chronoamperometric measurements indicate that the current density at the Pd/TiO2-R catalyst electrode at 3000 s is almost 16 times larger than that at the Pd/TiO2-I catalyst electrode. These electrochemical experiments show that the electrocatalytic activity and long-term operation stability of Pd/TiO2-R catalyst are much better than that of Pd/TiO2-I catalyst for formic acid oxidation in acidic media, indicating that TiO2 nanorods support material can effectively promote the electrocatalytic activity and stability of Pd catalyst for formic acid electrooxidation. Likely, TiO2 nanorods possess good electronic conductivity and abundant surface oxygen-containing groups, which improve the electrocatalytic activity and the anti-poisoned performance of Pd catalyst for the formic acid electrooxidation. Thus, TiO2 nanorods with anatase phase structure possess the potential application prospect in direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC).
