β¦ Synopsis
Molybdenum oxide (MoO x ) was added to a Pd/C catalyst using a novel two-step procedure. The enhancement effect of MoO x on Pd/C catalyst for the electrooxidation of formic acid was verified by electrochemical experiments. Compared to the Pd/C catalyst, the experimental results showed that the addition of MoO x could significantly enhance the electrocatalytic performances for the electrooxidation of formic acid. Significant improvements in electrocatalytic activity and stability were primarily ascribed to the effect of MoO x on the Pd catalyst. In addition to the large specific surface area, the hydrogen spillover effect is speculated to have accelerated the electrooxidation rate of formic acid in the direct pathway.
