Nanoporous (NP) PdPt alloy with uniform ligament size and controllable bimetallic ratio is easily fabricated through the selective dealloying of Al from PdPtAl ternary alloys. Compared with commercial Pd/C, Pt/C, NP-Pd, and NP-Pt catalysts, the as-prepared NP-PdPt exhibits greatly enhanced electrocatalytic activity for formic acid oxidation. Moreover, NP-PdPt presents superior catalytic durability upon alloying with Pt, with less loss of the formic acid oxidation activity upon long term potential scans. The NP-PdPt alloy holds great potential in applications as a promising anode catalyst in direct formic acid fuel cells.
