Abstract
Promoting C–C bond cleavage of ethanol by a complete 12-electron (12e) ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) is a grand challenge for the development of highly efficient direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs). Most state-of-the-art catalysts only implement the EOR in an incomplete 4e or 2e pathway because of the poisoning of the catalysts by strongly adsorbed CO, leading to the poor output performance and low cell efficiency of DEFCs. Herein, a septenary PtPdFeCoNiSnMn high-entropy alloy (PtPd HEA) with a PtPd-rich surface but super-low platinum group metals loading was developed. We identified and proved the functions of each element in the PtPd HEA. The DEFCs assembled with the PtPd HEA (0.12 mgPtPd.cm−2) achieved a maximum power density of 0.72 W cm−2 and a durable operation for 1,200 h, which outperforms state-of-the-art catalysts for DEFCs. This work will be a design principle for nanostructured alloy development for renewable energy and sustainability applications.
