Abstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have been attracting extensive research interests in designing advanced nanomaterials, while their precise control is still in the infancy stage. Herein, we have reported a well-defined PtBiPbNiCo hexagonal nanoplates (HEA HPs) as high-performance electrocatalysts. Structure analysis decodes that the HEA HP is constructed with PtBiPb medium-entropy core and PtBiNiCo high-entropy shell. Significantly, the HEA HPs can reach the specific and mass activities of 27.2 mA cm-2 and 7.1 A mgPt -1 for formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR), being the record catalyst ever achieved in Pt-based catalysts, and can realize the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) power density (321.2 mW cm-2 ) in fuel cell. Further experimental and theoretical analyses collectively evidence that the hexagonal intermetallic core/atomic layer shell structure and multi-element synergy greatly promote the direct dehydrogenation pathway of formic acid molecule and suppress the formation of CO*.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic conversion of formic acid oxidation to CO2 and the related CO2 reduction to formic acid represent a potential closed carbon-loop based on renewable energy. However, formic acid fuel cells are inhibited by the formation of site-blocking species during the formic acid oxidation reaction. Recent studies have elucidated how the binding of carbon and hydrogen on catalyst surfaces promote CO2 reduction towards CO and formic acid. This has also given fundamental insights into the reverse reaction, i.e. the oxidation of formic acid. In this work, simulations on multiple materials have been combined with formic acid oxidation experiments on electrocatalysts to shed light on the reaction and the accompanying catalytic limitations. We correlate data on different catalysts to show that (i) formate, which is the proposed formic acid oxidation intermediate, has similar binding energetics on Pt, Pd and Ag, while Ag does not work as a catalyst, and (ii) *H adsorbed on the surface results in *CO formation and poisoning through a chemical disproportionation step. Using these results, the fundamental limitations can be revealed and progress our understanding of the mechanism of the formic acid oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Developing high efficient Palladium-metal-based electrocatalysts is of great significance for formic acid oxidation (FAO) reaction. Here, we experimentally synthesize PdAu alloy composited with MnOx electrocatalyst (PdAu-MnOx/C) and illustrate its remarkable FAO performance. By virtue of theory studies, we find that Pd-Au bridges have superior adsorption ability towards HCOO* and oxygen vacancies in MnOx make HCOO* formation from HCOOH easier, synergistically lead to the outstanding FAO performance with specific activity and mass activity of 19.0 mA cm-2 and 4539 mA mg-1Pd+Au respectively, which are 2.6 times and 3.5 times higher than commercial Pd/C. This work shed some light toward development of high-performance Pd-based electrocatalysts for FAO.

Abstract
The determination of kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) for different reaction pathways and steps in a complex reaction network, where KIEs may affect the overall reaction in various different ways including dominant and minority pathways or the buildup of a reaction-inhibiting adlayer, is demonstrated for formic acid electrooxidation on a Pt film electrode by quantitative electrochemical in situ IR spectroscopic measurements under controlled mass-transport conditions. The ability to separate effects resulting from different contributions--which is not possible using purely electrochemical kinetic measurements--allows conclusions on the nature of the rate-limiting steps and their transition state in the individual reaction pathways. The potential-independent values of approximately 1.9 for the KIE of formic acid dehydration (CO(ad) formation) in the indirect pathway and approximately 3 for the CO(ad) coverage-normalized KIE of formic acid oxidation to CO2 (direct pathway) indicate that 1) C-H bond breaking is rate-limiting in both reaction steps, 2) the transition states for these reactions are different, and 3) the configurations of the transition states involve rather strong bonds to the transferred D/H species, either in the initial or in the final state, for the direct pathway and--even more pronounced--for formic acid dehydration (CO(ad) formation).
