Direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) are considered promising sustainable power sources due to their high energy density, nonflammability, and low fuel crossover. However, serious CO poisoning and activity attenuation of the anodic formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) greatly restrict the output and durability of DFAFCs. Inspired by the specific relationship between the composition, type, and property of alloys, in this work, we synthesize a series of hybrid substitutional/interstitial quaternary alloys P-PdAuAg by means of a novel polyphosphide route to address these issues. Due to the simultaneous interstitial P-doping and metal (Au, Ag, Pd) co-reduction, the P-PdAuAg quaternary alloy obtained is only 3 nm in diameter with abundant defects. It not only achieves a new high mass activity of 8.08 A mgPd –1 (6.78 A mgcatalyst –1) but also maintains high stability in the high potential range and harsh reaction conditions. Both the activity and anti-poisoning ability are far exceeding those of the currently reported FAOR catalysts. Detailed density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the superb electrochemical performances originate from the shift of the d-band center of Pd as a result of the synergistic electronic/ligand effects between Pd, Au, Ag, and P. The introduction of interstitial P inhibits the occurrence of an indirect reaction pathway on Pd, while Au and Ag suppress the adsorption of CO and optimize the sequential dehydrogenation steps, leading to boosted reaction kinetics and CO tolerance. This work pioneered a facile way for the synthesis of Pd-based substitutional/interstitial hybrid alloys, providing a promising means of further improving the performance of alloying catalysts.
