In this work, in order to create electrode materials for electrochemical energy converters, composites on porous silicon modified by palladium have been obtained. The functional characteristics of the electrodes have been studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray phase analysis, ex-situ and in-situ cyclic voltammetry. The electrode materials based on porous silicon had demonstrated high catalytic activity and specific characteristics in fuel cells with direct oxidation of formic acid. The fuel cell prototype with low palladium content showed the maximum specific power of about 30 mW/cm2 at a current density of 95-100 mA/cm2.
Porous silicon, palladium electrocatalysts, watt-ampere characteristics, formic acid, current density, specific power.
