    Abstract:

    Borohydride oxidation reaction (BOR) was investigated on different carbon–supported palladium (Pd) electrocatalysts. Namely, Pd nanoparticles were supported on Vulcan XC72, as well onto two biobased carbon materials, MEGSAK and MEVSAK. Electrochemical surface area of three electrocatalysts was determined using cyclic voltammetry. Subsequently, their activity for BOR in alkaline media was studied using linear scan voltammetry with rotating disc electrode. BOR onset potential and number of electrons exchanged were evaluated from the obtained data in order to compare the three electrocatalysts. BOR parameters values were correlated with the electrocatalysts morphology, and the effect of carbon support on their activity for BOR was evaluated.
