【 摘 要 】

A novel Pd3Cu-B/C nanocatalyst was facilely synthesized through an aqueous phase process. And it was developed for use in the glucose electrooxidation reaction in fuel cells. Cyclic voltammetry shown that the electrochemical surface area of Pd3Cu-B/C is 2.25 times that of Pd/C. Glucose electrooxidation curves revealed that peak current on the Pd3Cu-B/C is actually 1.73 times of the Pd/C. This high performance of Pd3Cu-B/C could be ascribed to the synergistic effect between Pd, Cu and B.
