This application discloses a
palladium-
hydrogen rare earth nanoalloy material, its preparation method, and its application. The
palladium-
hydrogen rare earth nanoalloy material includes a carbon support and PdREH
nanomaterials loaded on the surface of the carbon support. x Nanoparticles, PdREH x The nanoparticles comprise an
alloy of Pd and
rare earth elements (RE), and
hydrogen embedded in the
alloy lattice; wherein the
rare earth element RE is one of Y, Ce, Sm, Gd, and Tb. This application constructs a nanoalloy material with a stable lattice structure and good hydrogen intercalation capability by forming an
alloy of
palladium and rare earth elements and further intercalating hydrogen. Simultaneously, by combining a carbon support with a two-step
Joule thermal-hydrothermal preparation process, the composition and structure of the material can be controllably adjusted. This material exhibits excellent
electrochemical response sensitivity, high
ethylamine production capacity, and high Faradaic efficiency in the acidic electrocatalytic hydrogenation of
acetonitrile to
ethylamine reaction, making it suitable for low-resistance
proton exchange membrane devices.
