Abstract
The relationship between the value of jpr/jpf (ratio of peak current densities in the reverse sweep and the forward sweep) and stability for methanol oxidation on oxide (CeO2, NiO, Co3O4 and Mn3O4)-promoted Pd/C electrocatalysts in alkaline medium has been investigated. The smaller value of jpr/jpf will give the more stable performance of methanol oxidation on the Pd-oxide/C. The value of jpr/jpf on the Pd–Mn3O4/C is the smallest and much smaller than that on the other Pd-oxide/C, so the Pd–Mn3O4/C is the best stable catalyst and gives the best stable performance of methanol oxidation. The Pd–Co3O4/C and Pd–NiO/C give much higher catalytic activity than the other Pd-oxide/C electrocatalysts, however the values of jpr/jpf on them are very high, so performance of methanol oxidation on the Pd–Co3O4/C and Pd–NiO/C is not stable.
