Improving the Performance of Pd for Formic Acid Dehydrogenation by Introducing Barium Titanate

Formic acid, a safe and widely available organic compound, produces hydrogen under mild conditions, with the existence of Pd-based catalysts. Efficiently generating hydrogen via formic acid decomposition (FAD) is restricted by the cleavage of the C-H bond in adsorbed HCOO* and strong adsorption of hydrogen on the Pd surface. Herein, tetragonal-phase barium titanate (TBT) was in situ grown on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to support Pd (Pd/TBT/rGO) for FAD. The internal electric field exists around TBT owing to its spontaneous polarization capacity. The physical characterizations illustrate that the introduction of barium titanate affects the catalytic performance of the catalyst by decreasing the particle size of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) and forming electron-rich Pd. The as-synthesized Pd/TBT/rGO exhibited excellent catalytic activity and hydrogen selectivity for FAD with a high initial turnover frequency up to 3019.72 h-1 at 333 K. The reason for this enhancement is not only the small-size Pd NPs but also the internal electric field from TBT, which promotes the desorption of adsorbed hydrogen on the Pd surface. Additionally, the electron-rich Pd is favorable to the cleavage of the C-H bond in HCOO*. This work will improve the understanding of the characterization of barium titanate and provide a new design strategy for the FAD catalyst.
