Surface-Confined Ultra-Low Scale Pd Engineered Layered Co(OH)₂ toward High-Performance Hydrazine Electrooxidation in Alkaline Saline Water.

ABSTRACT: Applications of abundant seawater in electrochemical energy conversion are constrained due to the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction and the corrosive chlorine oxidation reaction. Hence, it is imperative to develop an efficient anodic reaction alternative suitable for coupling with the cathodic counterpart. Due to a low thermodynamic oxidation potential, hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) offers a unique pathway to overcome these challenges. Herein, spontaneously in situ reduced atomic scale Pd surface-confined to electrochemically prepared layered Co(OH)₂ on carbon cloth is synthesized. This study reveals the hydrazine and Pd-dependent morphological evolution of Co(OH)₂ and its Pd hybrids into nanoparticulate form. Unlike various layered double hydroxides, Pd integr
