Recent progress in palladium-nonmetal nanostructure development for fuel cell applications

Abstract Developing highly efficient and durable electrocatalysts plays a central role in realizing broad range of fuel cell application. Palladium (Pd)-nonmetal nanostructures, as special class Pd-based alloys, have exhibited diversified advantages for reactions. In this minireview, the most recent progress synthesis Pd-nonmetal nanostructures their applications cells are reviewed. First, merits clarified. Next, strategies enhancing performance summarized by demonstrating typical examples. It is expected that review will generate more research interest development advanced nanocatalysts.
