Direct formic acid fuel cells are gaining popularity due to its efficiency and safety. Palladium (Pd) based catalysts exhibit better activity towards formic acid oxidation (FAO) compared to Platinum (Pt). Thus, a study on FAO exhibited by different surface coverage of Pd on gold (Au) substrate was d...
