Abstract

The coin-like hollow carbon (CHC) has been synthesized by only using ethanol as the carbon source with a novel Mg/NiCl₂ catalytic system via a facile solvothermal method for the first time. The CHC synthesized at optimized conditions shows an average thickness of less than 154 nm and the coin diameter of 1-3 μm. The CHC is characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and electrochemical techniques. Pd on CHC (denotes as Pd/CHC) electrocatalysts are prepared for methanol oxidation in alkaline media. The Pd/CHC electrocatalyst gives a mass activity of 2930 A g^-1 Pd for methanol oxidation against 870 A g^-1 Pd on Pd/C electrocatalyst. One main reason for the higher mass activity of the Pd/CHC is the higher electrochemical active surface area (EASA) of the Pd/CHC. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
