In the domain of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), the development of efficient and durable catalysts for the electro-oxidation of small organic molecules, especially of alcohols (methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, et al.) has always been a hot topic. A large number of related electrocatalysts with splendid performance have been designed and synthesized till now, while the preparation processes of most of them are demanding on experimental operations and conditions. Herein, we put forward a facile and handy method for the preparation of multifunctional Ni(OH) -supported core-shell Ni@Pd nanocomposites (Ni(OH) /Ni@Pd NCs) with the assistance of galvanic replacement reaction (GRR) at room temperature and ambient pressure. As expected, the Ni(OH) substrate can prevent the aggregation of core-shell (CS) Ni@Pd nanoparticles (NPs) and inhibit the formation of CO and further prevent Pd from being poisoned. The synergistic effect between CS Ni@Pd NPs and Ni(OH) substrate and the electronic effect between Pd shell and Ni core contribute to the outstanding electrocatalytic performance for methanol, ethanol, and ethylene glycol oxidation in alkaline condition. This study provides a succinct method for the design and preparation of efficient Pd-based electrocatalysts for alcohol electro-oxidation.

This study reports first principles calculations performed to study the electronic structure and catalytic activity of exsolved Ni on Pd core-shell catalysts reported in recent experimental literature. The modification in the electronic and geometric properties of the Ni/Pd bimetallic system as successive layers of Ni are added on top of Pd is systematically investigated using the d-band model as well as the adsorption of O and CO on the surface of these core-shell structures. The results show that the adsorption of O and CO is more favourable on Ni/Pd core-shell catalysts compared to the pure Ni surface.

Deliberately optimizing the d-band position of an active component electronic and lattice strain tuning is an effective way to boost its catalytic performance. We herein demonstrate this concept by constructing core-shell Au@NiPd nanoparticles with NiPd alloy shells of only three atomic layers through combining an Au catalysis with the galvanic replacement reaction. The Au core with larger electronegativity modulates the Pd electronic configuration, while the Ni atoms alloyed in the ultrathin shells neutralize the lattice stretching in Pd shells exerted by Au cores, equipping the active Pd metal with a favorable d-band position for electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction in an alkaline medium, for which core-shell Au@NiPd nanoparticles with a Ni/Pd atomic ratio of 3/7 exhibit a half-wave potential of 0.

The increasingly large stream of e-waste is seriously threatening the environment; meanwhile, global energy shortage is on the rise. Based on the principles of energy regeneration and waste utilization, we introduced a win-win approach to utilize waste capacitors for construction of magnetic and core-shell Z-scheme Nb-Pb-codoped BaTiO/Ni-Pd@graphite-like carbon nitride (g-CN) photocatalysts for H evolution. Using simple ball-milling, waste capacitors were transformed to Nb-Pb-codoped BaTiO/Ni-Pd-Ag-Sn nanoparticles and g-CN was coated on the nanoparticles, forming a core-shell structure.
