Pd/CuO–Ni(OH)2/C as a highly efficient and stable catalyst for the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol

Pd/CuO-Ni(OH) 2 /C showed superior electrocatalytic performance for EOR in comparison with PdCuNi alloy/C and Pd/C. In-situ FTIR studies have shown that CuO and Ni(OH) 2 effectively inhibited the adsorption of CO and increased the breaking rate of C-C.
