Although direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) is regarded as one of the most promising energy-conversion systems, its commercialization process is impeded by the high costs of electrode catalysts as well as the sluggish catalytic reaction kinetics. Herein, we present a convenient bottom-up method to the synthesis of nanosized Pd crystals grown on 3D porous hybrid nanoarchitectures constructed from MXene (Ti3C2Tx) and reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (Pd/MX-rGO) through a co-assembly process. The as-derived 3D Pd/MX-rGO nanoarchitecture is equipped with a number of attractive textural features, such as 3D cross-linked porous networks, large specific surface area, uniform Pd dispersion, optimized electronic structure, and good electron conductivity. As a result, unusual formic acid oxidation properties in terms of high catalytic activity, strong poison tolerance, and reliable long-term stability are achieved for the 3D Pd/MX-rGO catalyst, significantly superior to those for conventional Pd catalysts supported by carbon black, graphene, and Ti3C2Tx matrixes.
