Facile synthesis of 3D Pd–P nanoparticle networks with enhanced electrocatalytic performance towards formic acid electrooxidation

3D Pd-P nanoparticle networks (NNs) have been successfully synthesized using a facile one-step soft-template-assisted method. The as-prepared Pd-P NNs exhibit markedly improved activity and stability towards formic acid electrooxidation over Pd NNs, commercial Pd/C and Pd-P nanoparticle aggregates (NAs).
