We investigated the effect of HClO₄, NH₄ClO₄, and NaClO₄ electrolytes on the electrocatalytic performance of a Pd/C catalyst electrode for formic acid oxidation. The Pd/C catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The performance of the Pd/C catalyst electrode during formic acid oxidation in different electrolytes was measured using electrochemical methods. We found that the electrocatalytic activity and stability of the Pd/C catalyst electrode for formic acid oxidation decreased in the following order: NH₄ClO₄ > NaClO₄ > HClO₄. The difference in pH between the different electrolytes was small because of the presence of formic acid. Therefore, the electrolyte pH has a small effect and the cations have a large effect. The better performance of the NaClO₄ electrolyte compared to the HClO₄ electrolyte is due to a pH effect. The better performance of the NH₄ClO₄ electrolyte compared to the NaClO₄ electrolyte is due to NH₄⁺ decreasing the adsorption strength and amount of CO on the Pd/C catalyst. This finding has large significance for the increase in the performance of the direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC).
