Carbon nanotube-supported Pd-based binary and ternary nanocatalysts (Pd/CNT, Pd₇Ag₃/CNT, Pd₇Sn₂/CNT, Pd₇Ag₁Sn₂/CNT, Pd₇Ag₂Sn₂/CNT and Pd₇Ag₃Sn₂/CNT) have been fabricated by the NaBH₄ reduction method. They have been characterized by using XRD, TEM and XPS techniques. The ternary Pd-Ag-Sn nanoparticles exhibit a smaller average particle size of ca. 2.3 nm compared to Pd/CNT and binary Pd-Ag (or Pd-Sn) nanoparticles. The electrocatalytic activity of these catalysts towards formic acid oxidation in both H₂SO₄ and NaOH solutions has been investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA). In both acidic and alkaline media, the ternary Pd-Ag-Sn/CNT catalysts present higher anodic current density for formic acid oxidation than Pd/CNT and binary PdAg/CNT or PdSn/CNT catalysts. Among the prepared catalysts, the Pd₇Ag₂Sn₂/CNT catalyst displays the highest HCOOH oxidation current density of 108.8 mA·cm^-2 in 0.5 mol·L^-1 H₂SO₄ solution or 211.3 mA·cm^-2 in 1 mol·L^-1 NaOH solution, corresponding to the Pd mass current density of 1 364 or 2 640 mA·mg^-1, respectively. These currents are extremely larger than those obtained from the commercial Pd/C. Results exhibit the excellent electrocatalytic activity of the ternary Pd₇Ag₂Sn₂/CNT catalyst towards formic acid oxidation.
