摘要：Pd-based electrocatalysts are the most effective catalysts for ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR), while the disadvantages of poor stability, low resistance to neutrophilic, and low catalytic activity seriously hamper the development of direct ethylene glycol fuel cells (DEGFCs). In this work, defect-riched PdCoZn nanosheets (D-PdCoZn NSs) with ultrathin 2D NSs and porous structures are fabricated through the solvothermal and alkali etching processes. Benefiting from the presence of defects and ultrathin 2D structures, D-PdCoZn NSs demonstrate excellent electrocatalytic activity and good durability against EGOR in alkaline media. The mass activity and specific activity of D-PdCoZn NSs for EGOR are 9.5 A mg-1 and 15.7 mA cm-2, respectively, which are higher than that of PdCoZn NSs, PdCo NSs, and Pd black. The D-PdCoZn NSs still maintain satisfactory mass activity after long-term durability tests. Meanwhile, in situ IR spectroscopy demonstrates that the presence of defects attenuated the adsorption of intermediates, which improves the selectivity of the C1 pathway with excellent anti-CO poisoning performance. This work not only provides an effective synthetic strategy for the preparation of Pd-based nanomaterials with defective structures but also indicates significant guidance for optimum C1 pathway selectivity of ethylene glycol and other challenging chemical transformations. The obtained D-PdCoZn NSs with the enrichment of defects indicate a favorable C1 selectedprocess for ethylene glycol oxidation due to defects weakening the adsorption of intermediates.image
