• A narrow size distribution and uniformly dispersed Pd nano-particles were obtained.
• A high catalytic property PdSnO2/CNTs were synthesized using polyol reduction method.
• The catalytic activity of PdSnO2/CNTs for methanol oxidation is up to 778.8 mA/mg Pd.
• Methanol oxidation on PdSnO2/CNTs has an exchange current density of 3.76 × 10−4 A cm−2.
The methanol electro-oxidation (MEO) on Pd–SnO2/MWCNTs catalysts prepared by microwave-assisted polyol reduction method has been investigated. The structure, morphology and electro-catalytic performances of the catalysts were characterized with XRD, TEM and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results showed that the highly dispersed Pd nano-particles (PdNPs) with a narrow size distribution on MWCNTs were successfully synthesized. The catalytic activity of Pd–SnO2/MWCNTs for MEO was up to 778.8 mA/mg Pd in 0.1 M KOH solution containing 1 M methanol, which was significant higher than that of Pd/C (414.2 mA/mg Pd) or Pd–SnO2/C (566.7 mA/mg Pd). Moreover, the MEO on Pd–SnO2/MWCNTs electrode displayed an irreversible behavior under a diffusion control giving an exchange current density (j0) of 3.76 × 10−4 A cm−2 and a Tafel slope of 149 mV dec−1 (α = 0.56) at 25 °C, which indicates that Pd–SnO2/MWCNTs catalyst has a high electro-catalytic performance for the MEO in alkaline media.
