The effects of the core material (M = Co, Ni) and catalyst support (N = MWCNTs and rGO) on the performance of M@Pd/N core–shell electrocatalysts for formate oxidation and direct formate-hydrogen peroxide fuel cells

Abstract

The obtained results show that the presence of Ni at the core instead of Co and using rGO as catalyst support instead of MWCNTs increased the catalytic performance of the synthesized electrocatalyst towards formate oxidation.
