DNA-functionalized graphene to guide growth of highly active Pd nanocrystals as efficient electrocatalyst for direct formic acid fuel cells

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is used to functionalize graphene and to further guide the growth of ultrasmall palladium (Pd) nanocrystals with uniform distribution on graphene (Pd-DNA@Graphene), demonstrating greatly improved electrocatalytic performance towards formic acid oxidation for direct formic...
