Abstract
A highly efficient and stable electrocatalyst comprised of yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and palladium nanoparticles has been synthesized via a sodium borohydride reduction approach. The molar ratio of Pd and Y was varied to fabricate various electrocatalysts and the oxidation reaction of formic acid was checked. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) are used to characterize the synthesized catalysts. Among the synthesized catalysts (PdyYx/rGO), the optimized catalyst i.e., Pd6Y4/rGO exhibits the highest current density (106 mA cm-2) and lowest onset potential compared to Pd/rGO (28.1 mA cm-2) and benchmark Pd/C (21.7 mA cm-2). The addition of Y2O3 to the rGO surface results in electrochemically active sites due to the improved geometric structure and bifunctional components. The electrochemically active surface area 119.4 m2 g-1 is calculated for Pd6Y4/rGO, which is ∼1.108, ∼1.24, ∼1.47 and 1.55 times larger than Pd4Y6/rGO, Pd2Y8/rGO, Pd/C and Pd/rGO, respectively. The redesigned Pd structures on Y2O3-promoted rGO give exceptional stability and enhanced resistance to CO poisoning. The outstanding electrocatalytic performance of the Pd6Y4/rGO electrocatalyst is ascribed to uniform dispersion of small size palladium nanoparticles which is possibly due to the presence of yttrium oxide.

Abstract
Direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) have gained immense importance as a source of clean energy for portable electronic devices. It outperforms other fuel cells in several key operational and safety parameters. However, slow kinetics of the formic acid oxidation at the anode remains the main obstacle in achieving a high power output in DFAFCs. Noble metal-based electrocatalysts are effective, but are expensive and prone to CO poisoning. Recently, a substantial volume of research work have been dedicated to develop inexpensive, high activity and long lasting electrocatalysts. Herein, recent advances in the development of anode electrocatalysts for DFAFCs are presented focusing on understanding the relationship between activity and structure. This review covers the literature related to the electrocatalysts based on noble metals, non-noble metals, metal-oxides, synthesis route, support material, and fuel cell performance. The future prospects and bottlenecks in the field are also discussed at the end.

Abstract
Tuning composition of Pd-based bimetallic electrocatalysts of high stability and durability is of great importance in energy-related reactions. This study reports the remarkable electrocatalytic performance of carbon-supported bimetallic Pd-Cu alloy nanoparticles (NPs) towards formic acid oxidation (FAO) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Among various bimetallic compositions, Pd3Cu/C alloy NPs exhibits the best FAO and ORR activity. During FAO reaction, Pd3Cu/C alloy NPs exhibits a peak with a current density of 28.33 mA cm-2 and a potential of 0.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) which is higher than that of the other PdCu compositions and standard 20 wt% Pd/C catalyst. Meanwhile, the onset potential (-0.09 V), half-wave potential (-0.18 V), limiting current density at 1600 rpm (-4.9 mA cm-2) and Tafel slope (64 mV dec-1) values of Pd3Cu/C alloy NPs validate its superiority over the conventional 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst for ORR. Experimental and DFT studies have confirmed that the enhanced activity can be attributed to the electronic effect that arises after Cu alloying which causes a downshift of Pd d-band center and structural effect that produces highly dispersed NPs over the carbon matrix with high electrochemically active surface area.

Abstract
Developing superior electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation (FAO) is the most crucial step in commercializing direct formic acid fuel cells. Herein, we electrodeposited palladium membranes with periodically ordered mesoporosity obtained by asymmetrically replicating the bicontinuous cubic phase structure of a lyotropic liquid-crystal template. The Pd membrane with the largest periodicity and highest degree of order delivered up to 90.5 m2 g-1 of electrochemical active surface area and 3.34 A mg-1 electrocatalysis capability towards FAO, 3.8 and 7.8 times the values of the commercial Pd/C catalyst, respectively. By controlling the temperature and potential of the electrodeposition procedure, the periodicity area and order degree of the mesoporosity are highly tunable. These Pd membranes gave prototype formic acid fueled cells with 4.3 and 2.4 times the maximum current and power density of the commercial Pd/C catalyst.

Abstract
The low performance of palladium (Pd) is a considerable challenge for direct formic acid fuel cells in practical applications. Herein, we develop a simple strategy to synthesize a highly active and durable Pd nanocatalyst encapsulated in ultrathin silica layers with vertically aligned nanochannels covered graphene oxides (Pd/rGO@pSiO2) without blocking active sites by selective deposition. The Pd/rGO@pSiO2 catalyst exhibits very high performance for a formic acid oxidation (FAO) reaction compared with the Pd/rGO without protective silica layers and commercial Pd/C catalysts. Pd/rGO@pSiO2 shows an FAO activity 3.9 and 3.8 times better than those of Pd/rGO and Pd/C catalysts, respectively. The Pd/rGO@pSiO2 catalysts are also almost 6-fold more stable than Pd/C and more than 3-fold more stable than Pd/rGO. The outstanding performance of our encapsulated Pd catalysts can be ascribed to the novel design of nanostructures by selective deposition fabricating ultrasmall Pd nanoparticles encapsulated in ultrathin silica layers with vertically aligned nanochannels, which not only avoid blocking the active sites but also facilitate the mass transfer in encapsulated catalysts. Our work indicates an important method to the rational design of high-performance catalysts for fuel cells in practical applications.

Abstract
Development of a Pd-based catalyst with highly active and durable properties for formic acid oxidation reaction at the anode remains an important matter of interest in the research community. Herein, we have designed novel coal-based carbon fibers (Coal-CFs) with dicyandiamide (DCD) as nitrogen (N) source, triphenylphosphine (TPP) as phosphorus (P) source dual-doped to support Pd catalysts (Pd/NP-Coal-CFs(DCD/TPP)), which exhibit superior catalytic performance toward formic acid oxidation reaction. Mass activity of formic acid oxidation of Pd/NP-Coal-CFs(DCD/TPP) catalyst is 536.6 mA·mg-1Pd, which is 2.5 times higher than that of Pd/Coal-CFs catalyst. The higher specific surface areas, exclusive electron transport path, and the high synergistic interaction of N and P are the favorable phenomena for catalytic performance. The addition of coal not only increases the abundant defects sites but also makes the utilization of coal with high added value. This N and P dual-doped catalyst inspires an idea for promoting applications in practical fuel cells.

Abstract
Functionalized nanoporous carbon materials have attracted the colossal interest of the materials science fraternity owing to their intriguing physical and chemical properties including a well-ordered porous structure, exemplary high specific surface areas, electronic and ionic conductivity, excellent accessibility to active sites, and enhanced mass transport and diffusion. These properties make them a special and unique choice for various applications in divergent fields such as energy storage batteries, supercapacitors, energy conversion fuel cells, adsorption/separation of bulky molecules, heterogeneous catalysts, catalyst supports, photocatalysis, carbon capture, gas storage, biomolecule detection, vapour sensing and drug delivery. Because of the anisotropic and synergistic effects arising from the heteroatom doping at the nanoscale, these novel materials show high potential especially in electrochemical applications such as batteries, supercapacitors and electrocatalysts for fuel cell applications and water electrolysis. In order to gain the optimal benefit, it is necessary to implement tailor made functionalities in the porous carbon surfaces as well as in the carbon skeleton through the comprehensive experimentation. These most appealing nanoporous carbon materials can be synthesized through the carbonization of high carbon containing molecular precursors by using soft or hard templating or non-templating pathways. This review encompasses the approaches and the wide range of methodologies that have been employed over the last five years in the preparation and functionalisation of nanoporous carbon materials via incorporation of metals, non-metal heteroatoms, multiple heteroatoms, and various surface functional groups that mostly dictate their place in a wide range of practical applications.
