Developing non-noble metal catalysts with high performance to reduce the cost of hydrazine fuel cells is urgent. Herein, in this study, a series of carbon-supported phosphatized CuNi catalysts (P-CuxNiy/C) are designed for hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) via high temperature phosphating process. Among them, the PCu2Ni/C is found to be a promising candidate for hydrazine electrooxidation. Electrochemical measurement results indicate that the PCu2Ni/C catalyst exhibits higher catalytic activity and stability for HzOR in comparison with PCuNi/C, PCuNi2/C, Cu2Ni/C, Cu/C and Ni/C catalysts. Additionally, HzOR kinetics are also investigated, and it proves that hydrazine electrooxidation on PCu2Ni/C is a diffusion controlled irreversible process. Meanwhile, physical characterization reveals that the catalysts have doped phosphorus successfully. All results demonstrate that as-prepared PCu2Ni/C catalyst is a promising electrocatalyst for direct hydrazine fuel cells.
