Peanut shells were used as raw materials and activated to peanut shell-based porous carbon (HC) by KOH. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption studies showed that the obtained porous carbon featured a total surface area as high as 1 645 m²·g^-1. Pd-Co/HC catalyst was prepared by the impregnation reduction method, in which HC was the carrier. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis demonstrated that Co in the catalyst was mainly in the form of Co and CoO, and Co was entered into the crystal lattice of Pd and formed a Pd-Co alloy. The TEM image of Pd-Co/HC_0.5-700 showed that numerous Pd-Co nanoparticles were successfully dispersed in the prepared porous carbon with a small particle size (ca. 4 nm). Pd-Co/HC_0.5-700 exhibited apparent electrocatalytic activity, CO tolerance, and stability towards methanol electrooxidation in alkaline media. This remarkable high performance can be attributed to the large surface area of the biomass carrier and the doping of Co into Pd.
