• Abstract:Pd-based nanostructures have high catalytic activity and good light trapping ability for photothermal catalysis. In this work, PdFe nanosheets (NSs) were synthesized through a hydrothermal method and efficiently catalyzed ethylene glycol electrooxidation reaction (EGOR). Under the irradiation of light, the mass activity of EGOR enhanced 1.78 times (from 4.02 to 7.17 A mg(-1)) comparing with no light, which was 18 times higher than commercial Pd/C. The high activity is attributed to the combination of high photothermal conversion efficiency and the exposure of high energy facet (111) of PdFe NSs. The effects of Pd/Fe ratio, light intensity, and wavelength were investigated.
