Facile synthesis of porous worm-like Pd nanotubes with high electrocatalytic activity and stability towards ethylene glycol oxidation

Abstract

A facile method was developed for large-scale preparation of porous worm-like Pd nanotubes based on the reduction of PdO nanotubes, which were obtained by calcining the complex precipitate of [Pd(dimethylglyoxime)2]n. The Pd catalyst showed excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability towards ethylene glycol oxidation.
