Electrocatalytic oxidation of SO has been applied in many fields, and electrocatalyst is the focus of the research. Platinum-based electrocatalysts are the hot spot in this reaction. Although the properties of these materials have been optimized to a certain extent, there is still room for improvement in activity and long-term durability. In light of this, two kinds of carbon-supported Pt-Ru bimetallic electrocatalysts (PtRu/C alloy catalyst and Ru@Pt/C core-shell catalyst) were prepared by the microwave reduction method. The experiments demonstrate that the enhancement in the activity of bimetallic catalysts originates from the electronic effect and bifunctional effect between Pt and Ru. Bimetallic catalyst contains a large number of RuOH, which promotes the reaction. Because of the high Pt utilization, Ru@Pt/C catalyst with the Pt shell has a higher performance than alloy catalyst. The unit Pt mass activity of PtRu/C and Ru@Pt/C is 1.73 and 2.43 times that of Pt/C, respectively. Ru@Pt/C exhibits excellent stability in the high acid environment and is a promising SO electrocatalyst.

Construction of core-shell structured electrocatalysts with a thin noble metal shell is an effective strategy for lowering the usage of the noble metal and improving electrocatalytic properties because of the structure-induced geometric and electronic effects. Here, the synthesis of a novel core-shell structured nanocatalyst consisting of a thin amorphous Pd shell and a crystalline PdCu core and its significantly improved electrocatalytic properties for both formic acid oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions are shown. The electrocatalyst exhibits 4.

Catalyzing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a key process in high-efficiency proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) devices. To replace the use of Pt-based HER catalyst, tungsten carbide (WC) is one of the most promising non-noble-metal-based catalysts with low cost, replicable catalytic performance, and durability. However, the preparation access to scalable production of WC catalysts is inevitable.

In this study, a Cu@Ag core-shell was synthesized using a co-precipitation method. To create a new electrochemical sensor, a Cu@Ag core-shell with conductive polymers such as polyalizarin yellow R (PA) and Nafion (Nf) was immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (Cu@Ag-Nf/PA/GCE). X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques were employed to characterize the Cu@Ag-Nf/PA/GCE.

The replacement of the thermodynamically unfavorable anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a more favorable organic oxidation reaction, such as the anodic oxidation of benzylamine, has garnered significant interest in hybrid water electrolyzer cells. This approach promises the production of value-added chemicals alongside hydrogen fuel generation, improving overall energy efficiency. However, achieving high current density for benzylamine oxidation without interference from OER remains a challenge, limiting the practical efficiency of the electrolyzer cell.
