Abstract
Palladium-based alloy materials as cathodes for the reduction of oxygen are regarded as potential substitutes for platinum-based catalysts in fuel cells. In this work, we present a scientometric analysis and critically review the use of Pd alloys for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Through scientometric analysis, publication information, research fronts and hotspots are identified. For the critical review, reaction mechanisms in different media are discussed, with the aid of volcano plots to show the general principles for catalyst modifications to maximise the ORR. Influencing factors, including alloying, structure, strain and ligands, particle size, crystal facets and dealloying are considered with a view to informing the theoretical feasibility to enhance the ORR activity. In addition, Pd-based alloys synthesized by different methods are presented and compared in terms of ORR activities. Future research directions are discussed and possible approaches to mass production for industrialization are also proposed.
