Abstract

Abstract : A key challenge in the fabrication and encapsulation of FePd alloys inside carbon materials is the achievement of continuous Fe x Pd x filling rates. Abstract : A key challenge in the fabrication and encapsulation of FePd alloys inside carbon materials is the achievement of continuous Fe x Pd x filling rates. We propose an advanced approach which allows the encapsulation of Pd crystals into foam-like carbon films continuously filled with α-Fe and the subsequent nucleation of the FePd3 alloys. The alloying-mechanism is also investigated.
