▎ 摘  要

Fuel cells hold great potential of replacing traditional fossil fuel to alleviate the energy crisis and increasing environmental concerns. Although great progresses have been achieved over decades, the sluggish reaction kinetics and poor durability of electrocatalysts in fuel cells have been the decisive bottleneck that limited their practical applications. Herein, we focus on the design and development of cost-efficient anode electrocatalysts for fuel cells and report the successful creation of an advanced class of N-doped graphene (NG) supported binary PdAg nanocapsules (PdAg NCPs). The well-defined nanocatalysts with highly open structure exhibit greatly improved electrocatalytic performances for ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR). In particular, the optimized PdAg NCPs/NG show the mass and specific activities of 6118.3 mA mg(-1) and 13.8 mA cm(-2), which are 5.8 and 6.9 times larger than those of the commercial Pd/C catalysts, respectively. More importantly, such PdAg NCPs/NG can also maintain at least 500 potential cycles with limited catalytic activity attenuation, showing an advanced class of electrocatalysts for fuel cells.(C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.
