To improve the electrochemical performance of Pd‐based catalysts for formic acid oxidation, a carbon supported nanoporous PdNi catalyst is prepared by dealloying high‐Ni‐content PdNi alloy nanoparticles in acid solution. The structure of nanoporous PdNi/C catalyst is characterized by X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrocatalytic results show that the activity of the nanoporous PdNi/C catalyst is higher than that of nonporous Pd/C catalyst. The results demonstrate that the carbon‐supported nanoporous PdNi catalyst has a potential for application in direct formic acid fuel cells.
