Figure 7. (A) Schematic diagram of formate production from a tunable composition PdCu bimetallic alloy catalyst based on dendrite structure[69]. (B) Potential dependence of formate FE on Pd82Cu18, Pd60Cu40, Pd51Cu49 and pure Pd[69]. (C) Comparison of potential windows of these four electrocatalysts with FEformate above 90% and 80%, respectively[69]. Reprinted with permission. Copyright 2022, American Chemical Society[69]. (D) Schematic diagram of formic acid production on nanoporous Pd alloy (np-PdX) formed by electrochemical dealloying of Pd15X85 alloy (X = Co, Ni, Cu and Ag)[70]. (E) Binding energies (eV) for CO combined with clean surfaces (CO*-1), CO with H*-containing surfaces (CO*-2), CO with 2H*-containing surfaces (CO*-3), H with clean surfaces (H*-1), H with H*-containing surfaces (H*-2), H with CO* containing surfaces (H*-3)[70].
