Abstract
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has been studied on platinum free, palladium-based electrocatalysts in acid media. Polycrystalline electrodes were prepared by electrodeposition on a polycrystalline gold substrate using a dual ligand approach at room temperature. The surface morphology and approximate surface composition of the electrodeposits were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrodeposits showed performance for the ORR similar to polycrystalline platinum under identical conditions, despite an observed 50 mV cathodic shift in the peak potential. Carbon supported CoPd 3 electrocatalysts also showed high catalytic activity for oxygen reduction in a 5 cm 2 fuel cell.
