abstract = {Small organic molecule electro-oxidation (OMEO) is the
important anodic reaction occurring in direct liquid fuel
cells (DLFCs) and requires efficient and durable
electrocatalysts to promote the reactivity and operational
stability. Noble metals (e.g., Pt and Pd) are currently the
state-of-the-art catalysts for OMEO; however, for practical
applications, their electrocatalytic performance needs to be
improved. Herein, we report a simple and potentially
cost-effective approach to the synthesis of noble metal
phosphide (MxPy, M = Pd, Pt) catalysts, which is realized by
phosphidating commercially available supported noble metal
catalysts in red phosphorus vapor at different temperatures.
We demonstrate that the derived PdP2–Pd/C heterostructured
catalysts show the best electrocatalytic performance toward
a number of OMEO model reactions, including the formic acid
oxidation reaction, methanol oxidation reaction, ethanol
oxidation reaction, and ethylene glycol oxidation reaction,
in terms of not only apparent activity but also of specific
and mass activities, poisoning tolerance, and catalytic
stability, with respect to both the starting Pd/C and other
prepared palladium phosphide control catalysts. Similar
performance enhancement is also observed for the PtP2–Pt/C
heterostructured catalysts for all model reactions. The
enhancement may result from the synergy between the noble
metal phosphide and the noble metal, where the formed
phosphide facilitates the adsorption of hydroxyl species and
promotes the oxidation of poisoning intermediates, giving
rise to improved activity, poisoning tolerance, and
stability. Our work demonstrates an easy way of boosting the
electrocatalytic performance of commercial catalysts toward
multiple OMEO reactions and shows substantial promise for
their usage in DLFCs.},
