In this study, carbon nanotube (CNT) supported Pd catalysts at varying Pd molar ratios are prepared via NaBH4 reduction method. Catalysts prepared for hydrazine electrooxidation are characterized via N2 adsorption-desorption measurements (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Electrochemical measurements are performed using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques by CHI660E potentiostat in a three-electrode system. According to the characterization results, Pd/CNT catalysts are successfully synthesized. For 5% Pd/CNT catalyst, the average particle size and the surface area determined as 5.17 nm and 773.10 m2 g-1 via TEM and BET, respectively. Between the Pd containing (0.1-20 wt %) CNT supported catalysts prepared, 5% Pd / CNT catalyst shows the best current density as 6.81 mA cm-2 (1122.63 mA mg-1 Pd). Furthermore, 5% Pd/CNT catalyst shows littlest charge transfer resistance (Rct) compared to Pd/CNT catalysts.
